booboo from Cork suggest the langer song.

When you consider all the great Cork songs, such as Beautful City, The Banks, Skibbereen, Woods of Upton ,Charlie Hurley, Kilmichael, Mount Massey, Bould Thady Quill, the langer song is the greatest drivel ever sang.
Shanagolder from Limerick a great song, Valley of Knockanure from North Kerry, so many to choose

Millions of them, literally.

But given the topic, delivery and relevance, Paul Brady and "The Island" must be well up there.

the words are wonderful, truly inspirational.

Hard to go for one so I've put a few in the mix. Hard to pick the best artists to, but here you go.

When only our rivers run free - The Tones, Christy does a lovely version also.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gn9WWliz_zg&feature=related


Freedom Walk - Barleycorn, B side to Men behind the wire. I will always remember these to songs. When Internment came in the early 70's we had to hide them in the loft. MY mum and dad would come home from the club Saturday night and we'd get them down.

Voyage - Christy Moore Beautiful

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_surYSjPZQA


Song For Ireland - Mary Black Top song, top voice again many artists sang this but i prefer Mary's version.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbDuk8l8Jjg


The Green and Red of Mayo - Sawdoctors, the best song the doctors have done to date. Mayo bias there of course!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_5nP9VKxbQ


The town i loved so well - The Dubliners Just quality, again many versions, i went for the Dubs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GlweCUixao&feature=fvw


Las Vegas in the hills of Donegal by the Goats also one of my favs, i noticed this has been logged already so no link required.
