What's everyone's favorite Irish music group?

What's everyone's favorite Irish or Celtic group? I like John Doan, Celtic Woman, and The Wolfe Tones. ("You'll Never Beat the Irish" by Wolfe Tones is absolutely great!) I'm looking for all kinds of new groups, so be sure to throw any names into the discussion when you feel like doing so. Thanks, people!

Dervish is number one for me. I have heard them twice here in California, and both concerts were superb. Close contenders are Altan and Solas. In addition, I listen to a lot of Loreena McKennitt, Lunasa, and the Corrs when they do the more traditional material - especially the live acoustic versions.

I know they're not together any longer but my long time favorite has been Planxty

Without a doubt, the Wolfe Tones! There is no better band to sing of the culture, politics, and history of Ireland. I've seen them live in Canada, the States, and Ireland, and have shed tears, laughed, and sang along to their magical voices and incomparable music.
