From Wolfgang's Vault, listen on-line
For centuries, people have celebrated Saint Patrick's Day, the feast day of Saint Patrick, patron saint of Ireland. We've compiled a list of some of our own saints of Ireland, from Eddie Rabbitt, the son of Irish immigrants, to U2, the most successful Irish rock band of the past 30 years, and Oppenheimer, one of the most unique bands coming out of Northern Ireland today. We've also thrown in a few songs that are not by Irish artists, but do pay tribute to the Emerald Isle itself.
Music has long been a cornerstone of Irish culture and the artists featured here, along with countless others, find ways of incorporating some of the more traditional elements of Irish music into a more modern rock blueprint. In recent years, Irish music has blurred the lines between traditional and rock music, creating an entirely new sound.
This Saint Patrick's Day, may the luck of the Irish be with you as you immerse yourself in this playlist, perhaps over a nice pint of Guinness.
