While many pubs play piped pop music, the pub is often a venue for live song and live music. See:

· Pub rock - bands such as Kilburn and the High Roads, Dr. Feelgood or The Kursaal Flyers

· Pub songs from Skiffle to Danny Boy

• Folk music

The pub has also been celebrated in popular music. Examples are "Hurry Up Harry" by the 1970s punk rock act Sham 69, the chorus of which was the chant "We're going down the pub" repeated several times. Another such song is "Two Pints Of Lager and a Packet of Crisps Please!" by UK punk band Splodgenessabounds.

As a reaction against piped music, the Quiet Pub Guide was written, telling its readers where to go to avoid piped music.
