Post your opinion on THE BEST song of all time.

There's no best song of all times. There's just one song to suit one time
Right now mine is Thief of your heart sung by Sinead O'Connor

good point

I think the Soldiers Song...

Amhr�n na bhFiann
Fathers Blessing
The Dying Rebel
Irish Rover

Mia - Gorky (Belgian-Flemish)
With or without you - U2
Smells like een spirit - Nirvana
Self esteem - Off Spring
... A list who's definitely too long and I'd still forget masses of good songs...

Well, for me there's no best song, too.

Amhr�n na bhFiann is somewhat "out of it". It's special...

The rest of my favourites changes. Right now they are:

Tri Martolod (the version of Alan Stivell with Tri Yann)
Chanson a boire
Gortoz a ran
Gleanntain Ghlas Ghaoth Dobhair
Young Ned of the hill
The Praties
Son ar sistr (does anyone have a recording of it, btw? Charlotte? )
Tir an airm

...but as I said, it changes...

Kenavo,
Roidsear

As regards Bretagne, Alan Stivell is the best

Charlotte, you don't like Molicorne, do you?

If that is the town (Malicorne), I've never been there

NO! It was a Bretagne band (in 80-s, I think)...

Gallout a ran kompren, met sot on Stivell. Brav eo.

I can understand that, I love Stivell. He's good.



Oh Breton nation, you'll amaze those who would bury you,
There's no world without you, Lalalalaleno...


...And I can't get "Tri Martolod" out of my head...
Whereas... I'm just listening to "Brian Boru" by Stivell. This song is really
great. Gaeilge and Brezhoneg in one song...
Celts unite...

Kenavo a c'henta�, sl�n go f�ill, bye for now...

Sean,
I was only joking. I just don't know them

Fields of Athenry-�ire �g
Loughall Martyrs-�ire �g

Sean, go to the official SLF site where you can download a wav. file of Alternative Ulster

Chucky Armagh, I have this 28 seconds WAV piece of "Alternative Ulster" already... I'd like to get a complete MP3...

Sorry a chara, no idea where you can get that, you could always buy their first and greatest album, "Inflamable Material", it has that song on it.

black velvet band
foggy dew
god save ireland

hell, it's anything if luke kelly is singing!

if not celtic, i'd go for nordic black metal!

Vintersorg - Isjungfrun

A man after my own heart...

Surely you've all heard the dance-ish version of Fields of Athenry? Couldn't tell you who the artist is, but the song may have been on a Glasgow Celtic FC -related CD at one time or another.

Not a bad song to begin with, this version could be the launch of rebel songs on the Ibiza scene

I have two dance version of fields of Athenry, and Patrick Jackyl are no ,ore my friend but I saw them in concert once also a guy I know (not a friend) won their chainsaw in a contest


" Cause I jack my chain since I saw you " lmao
Funny lyrics eh!

Anybody know any modern bands that are influenced by Irish Republicans or the struggle in general?

I was looking through the album booklet of Rage Against The Machine's first album "Rage Against The Machine" which I got a few days ago (which is fuckin class), and at the back it acknowledged Bobby Sands as an influence. Thought that was pretty cool.

Sl�n

hmmmm, U2 has sung a Bloody Sunday Version... but thats the only thing I know about U2

That's not exactly a republican song, as Bono likes to point out before singing it. In a DVD release of a Slane Castle gig Bono actually goes through all the names of the people killed in Omagh during that song.

yes, but I only know that U2 has sung a song with the name Bloody Sunday

John Lennon has sung the song "Give Ireland Back to the Irish"... but don't know if that counts to modern songs...

John lennon's Sunday Bloody Sunday has much better lyrics. So much closer to the feelings such an event raise...

Vintersorg ist great........

Oha.....

Tear's of the dragon - Bruce Dickinson
When the children cry - White Lion


My favorite Tri Yann Song ist "La jument de Michao"

Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb
Pink Floyd - Echoes
Pink Floyd - Shine on you Crazy Diamond
Pink Floyd - Learning To Fly
Pink Floyd - High Hopes
Led Zeppelin - Stairway to heaven
Led Zeppelin - Immigrant song

ah god it varies everyday but most Floyd and Zeppelin songs are my fave's...Just a pity we don't get bands like that anymore.

If its Irish songs only then

Eire Og - Let the People/Take it down from the mast/This land is my land
Eire Og - Crossmaglen/Helicopter song
Eire Og - Merry Ploughboy
Eire Og - Sean South/Roll of Honour/Go on home.

Quality

Yeah I'm a big Zeppelin fan too. Jimmy Page is God.



Yeah I was at the first U2 Slane gig with the Chilis, and during Sunday Bloody Sunday he started screaming and shouting "Fuck the Provisional IRA, fuck the Continuity IRA, fuck the Real IRA"...

good to see another 'Floyd-head' last count, I have 35 floyd cd's. Astronomy Domine and One of these days are right up there too.
As far as Zeppelin, back in the 70's If Zep was playin on the juke-box, I couldnt be beat playing pool. As long as Jimmy Page was jammin, I was Rockin! One of the few bandsthat actually sound better in the studio than live.

Comfortably Numb has two great guitar solos, so that's my favourite Floyd track. And Shine On You Crazy Diamond for just being a complete stoner track...

Patrick I'm exactly the same at pool, whenever a Zep or Lizzy track comes on my potting just improves like crazy. Don't know about Zep sounding better in the studio than live though. That new DVD is all live material and it's amazing. "Moby Dick", 20 minute drum solo...hell yeah!

Great taste in music guys - Keep it up !!!.

What about Deep Purple and the Eagles too...


Eagles live are exceptional also.

Deep Purple, Black Sabbath,ZZ Top, Santana, Eagles...ALL GREAT BANDS, But Floyd and Zep ROCK!
I use to install ProAudio systems for auditoriums and churches. When it came time to 'EQ' the systems, I would play the entire 'Wish you were here" cd cranked full tilt. It has every low, middle, and high end note. I am sure there are nuns STILL praying for me. I've seen Floyd 4 times in outdoor concerts. Greatest light show I have ever seen Still waiting for them to find a girl that can sing 'Great gig in the sky' better than the original

Hey smoke a few joints and lie in your bed with the lights out to Dark side of the moon..Quality!.

Got all the Floyd Albums too, Well since Gilmour's joined that is - haven't got much of the earlier stuff with Barrett.

Sid Barret looks like he did alot of drugs growing up. I mean his face is all distorted and he only has two white blood cells left The outdoor concerts were great. They ran the smoke machines all during the show. Then when they ran some of the lazers over it, It looked like you were underwater. I think it would be pretty cool to be a roadie with Floyd for one month just for the experience.

what's with Jethro Tull???

Tull is a GREAT band. Ian Anderson plays the flute(usually while standing on one leg) and does vocals. Seen them many times

Locomotive Breath is my favourite!!!!!

I heard Dark Side Of The Moon is an alternative soundtrack to The Wizard Of Oz. If you play them at the same time the music goes with the film. Must try it some time with a bit of grass, see for myself. And sure if it's not true, what harm!

Yeah the Dark Side of the Rainbow, You can download it if you have kazaa or somethin and it just mixes it in with you , If I can remember you may have to pause at some bits but im not exactly sure. Must admit though I found it very trippy

Actually here's a link if you are bored.

P.s I like Jethro Tull too (The Broadsword and the Best album was great).
