English Rockers The Duke Spirit explore pirate heartbreak, singing about treasure that sinks when singer Liela Moss gives up on some coldhearted bastard's dirty lies.

11. "Pirate" - The Ethiopians

Leonard Dillon, the leader of this Jamaican ska/rocksteady/reggae group, originally recorded under the name Jack Sparrow. During the 1960s and '70s, he and his Ethiopians bandmates recorded several albums and singles for labels such as Trojan, Heartbeat and Jamaican Gold, including this wonderfully skankin' pirate anthem.

10. "Ship of Fools" - Grateful Dead

Guitarist Jerry Garcia and lyricist Robert Hunter penned this highly symbolic tune about a weary, wary, thirtysomething seafarer who's had just about enough reckless adventure.

9. "Dead Men and Sinners" - Murder By Death

Indie rockers MBD shine on this gloomy yet poetic waltz. If you let your mind wander as you listen, you can almost feel the biting winds and icy saltwater spray your face as the seasick music wobbles along.
