Paddy's Day Soundtrack....

[TheStatutoryApe]

Before we get started here are the obligatory...

Flogging Molly

Dropkick Murphys

The Pogues

These are the most popular bands in the US anyway. I would assume that Planxty is still pretty popular across the pond.

So... Tell me what "Irish" bands you like.

I have been on a long quest for awesome irish music, particularly of the punk variety.

If anyone needs some suggestions for the Paddy's Day soundtrack let me know. I have music from several bands.

Ok, I promise to only shamelessly selfbump this once. But no responses? serious?

Here is an awesome irish band I found in my search....
a punk rendition of a song popularly done by The Pogues.

Probably the most popular song by The Tossers would be No Loot, No Booze, No Fun...

Nice! The Dubliners were actually in town in here not that long ago.
Some of the traditional bands are great. I think that the absolute best traditional rendition of Rocky Road to Dublin was by Quilty. Unfortunately I can not find it on youtube.
The second best though is Dropkick Murphys...

I like Davy Spillane and David Arkenstone.
They're Irish, right?

I have to say that I really miss the days when metal was not all guttural grunts and screaming. Thank you though.

I think I had some more melodic "irish" metal but got rid of it. It was kinda boring.

 

[Samwise137]

Irish Rovers, Dropkick Murphys, U2, and Metallica's cover of Whiskey in the Jar

 

[Toaster Hunter]

Waylander, a band I discovered recently, and regret not finding out about them sooner

Davy is apparently from Ireland direct though Dave is from Chicago. I guess we wont hold that against him since most "irish bands" are not from Ireland anyway. The only bands I know are from Ireland are U2, Planxty, and Stiff Little Fingers.


Here's an interesting one. Irish Stew of Sindidun are Irish Serbian...

Pardon the IRA love.

Just good music, that's all you need!
