So here it is spring.
What track should be playing to do battle with the usual plasic paddy music for the 17th- Traditional and recently released.

Put your favorites here. Include CD numbers where possible- so people can order them.

"for the 17th- Traditional and recently released."

Umm, what is the 17th traditional and recently released?
Surely the traditional songs have been done and done again by any amount of artists? Why the emphasis on 'this years' trad. release?

I'm asking as someone who doesn't necessarily recognise the particulars of popular American-Irish music, which is what I presume you must be refering to as opposed to traditional Irish music? Or am I wrong?

traditional Irish music gets recorded again and again.
This year what track would you play on March 17-
a recording issued this year. Traditional Irish not necessairly american irish but may be by an american group or artist.

Please feel free to visit our local bar and use the term "plasic paddy music" (which puts your support for fascists on another thread perfectly in context, by the way) any time you wish. If you let me know in advance I'll start selling tickets.

I do not support fascists just tolerate them and expect others to do the same as they tolerate all kinds of people and their beliefs. Agreeing with them is not necessary just toleration.

The term plastic paddy is widely used and is not really a put down.
It referrs to the generic green beer music that comes out at st patricks days and is enjoyed by once a year Irish for the day.

It is a set of music that has merit as with any other it just has been given that name.
