No survey of modern Irish music would be complete without mentioning The Pogues.
Here is the drunken madman, Shane McGowan and his lads, The Pogues, with the Celtic punk classic, Sunny Side of the Street:

From the serious:
to the silly:
to the musical and literary contemporary:
an older rowdy song covered by everyone-
one of the versions by the Dubliners of
“Whiskey in the Jar”
Steeleweed, this one’s payback for you- and for Michael Collins
Now I’ve seen and heard enough from Macklemore’s ugly mug for a while:-)
Macklemore and Ryan Lewis channel Irish sorta in “Irish Celebration”
How about – Erin go braless? I know, bad pun…
More to the point – I offer two Irish songs, one more traditional and one irreverent:
First,
Van Morrison and the Chieftains performing Star of the County Down
And
Flogging Molly with their delightful, If I Ever Leave This World Alive
Thanks,Skriz, you always come up with good material- I never saw the Van Morrison one before.!
