Subject: RE: Best Rock versions of traditional songs
I'm surprised nobody mentioned Thin Lizzy's Roisin Dubh. It's several Celtic tracks (Roisin Dubh, Shenadoah, Wild Mountain Thyme, March of the Kings of Laois, Mason's Apron, I think) with a melodic metal arrangment, and Phil's clever lyrics keeping it all together.
Wolfstone have some good ones, like Hector the Hero and Bonnie Ship the Diamond.
