| Celtic Rock
With St. Patrick's Day coming up Friday, here are 5 of my favorite Celtic Rock bands. (I've been lobbying to make Celtic and Celtic Rock official genres on Sputnik). The list is in alphabetical order. | | 1 |  | Black 47
Home Of The Brave
Larry Kirwan's voice is kind of an acquired taste, but this was a great band. Favorite songs on this album, "Big Fellah" (an ode to Michael Collins), and "Voodoo City", which gives us the next installment in the Paddy vs. The Iceman saga. | | 2 |  | Dexys Midnight Runners
Too-Rye-Ay
I trashed their latest album, and deservedly so. But I always have to give a nod to this album by the self-proclaimed Celtic Soul Brothers. Come on, Eileen! | | 3 |  | Fathom
Pollution Blues
This was a local Long Island band who was near and dear to my heart. I celebrated a few St. Patty's Days with these guys. | | 4 |  | The Prodigals
Dreaming in Hell's Kitchen
A New York based Irish band still making music. Their 2016 "Brothers" album was really good, but I think this is my favorite Prodigals album. | | 5 |  | The Town Pants
Connections
Some West Coast Celtic rock by way of Canada. This is how they celebrate the wearin' of the green in Vancouver. | |

03.16.17 | I'm not a huge fan of Celtic rock, but The Lord's Favourite by Iceage has a jig swing to it.. And who couldn't love Shane Macgowan! |
