Too many to mention but I am very fond of Donal Lunney (Journey is amazing) Christy Moore Andy Irvine etc, Danu, Kila, Solas, Dervish, Capercaillie, Flook, The Waterboys and of course The Pogues! I rarely listen to any mainstream music, mostly Irish and related styles. Irish music KICKS ASS!!!!

Pogues, Waterboys, Thin Lizzy, anything that "bounces", I could listen to Nan Tom Teaimin all day. It's surprising that nobody has mentioned the greatest Irish rocker of all time - Rory Gallagher.
