Just wondering what your favorite artists or songs to request are.
Mine are: "The Trial of Lancelot" by Heather Dale "Cotton-Eyed Joe" by The Chieftains Anything by Loreena McKennitt Bagpipe versions of "Amazing Grace", "Scotland The Brave" & "Highland Cathedral" Anything by The Irish Rovers "The Pub With No Beer" (ain't that a frighful thought ) by The Dubliners Anyone's version of "Whiskey In The Jar" "Drunken Sailor" by The Fenians

May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. May the blessings of Saint Patrick behold you.
Dougie MacLean "It Was A' for Our Rightfu' King" Ed Miller "The Prince of Darkness" Ian Robb "Garnet's Home Made Beer" The Irish Descendants "Barrett's Privateers"
I like to request the last two together. The way Macfive as the fading between songs set up you can't tell the ending of one and the beginning of the other so they sound like one song. I'm not sure what it is about that I like so much, I just do....

Generally if something hits my request list, it's not long before it moves from there to my main library. Right now, "Cod Liver Oil" is on the list, and there is another one that will be there as soon as I can remember the title, which I have been hearing the last few days.
Barleyjuice: Takin' Her Up to Monto What's Up Yours Nancy Drinks Tequila And a few others by them. Plus I'll enjoy pretty much anything else that shows up.
Amadan: Will Ye Be Proud? The McBeal Mutiny And I'll gladly listen just about anything Amadan's put out.
Carbon Leaf: The Boxer Desperation Song So much more to listen to! I'll pull up one of their unrateds, sometimes, 'cause I haven't bought the CD yet.
Gaelic Storm: South Australia Lukey Swimmin' in the Sea And, of course, I love just about anything they put out.
Bobby Evans: Good Olde Newfie Outhouse (don' blame me, it's for my girlfriend, not me...she tends to max her requests rather quickly)
Stan Rogers: The Mary Ellen Carter
That's comprehensive enough. There are others. Prince of Darkness is one of them. I have soem dedicated Amadan streams, so I don't request much at all.
Btw, what's the appeal of Heather Dale's Tristan and Isolte or Trial of Lancelot? I can't figure it out, but those two, plus Loreena McKennit's The Highwayman, really irritate me to no end. I have no clue why, they're about the only laments I dislike. Normally, I love laments. Namely, And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda and The Green Fields of France. Those are beautiful.
Oh, yah, I love Cotton-Eyed Joe by The Chieftains. Reminds me of the music of my youth, listening to the more Southern Mountain music that got played at local dances. Well, and plenty of not-so-local ones. And of the music my dad's band played. Good stuff.
Realm: second star to the right, straight until morning
Here are a few
Dougie Maclean- Forgotten Roo The fenians- Coal Tattoo Ed Miller- Prince of Darkness Seamus Kennedy- The old Dunn Cow Great Big Sea- Processman ( Chemical Workers song) Gaelic Storm- The hills of Calemara (sp) Enya- Anything from 'The Celts' album Capercallie- Anything Silly Wizard- Golden, golden
Hoping for some Steeleye Span to show up here sometime!

tracked down that other one I need to have on my list,
The Bringers - CelticCircleDanceCupOfWonder
And thanks, Jason =) You reminded me that Silly Wizard's "Donald McGillivry" and "The Blackbird" should be on the list. I haven't been able to find Live Wizardry avaliable yet. I've tried three times to order it.
Ok I admit I am one of the Rogues that request The Ballad of Tam Lin I also on occasion enjoy The Dun Cow and It's a long way to the top by highlander.

one of the Rogues?? I love both of those. I've been working on memorizing The Ballad of Tam Lin. Fortunately I was able to legally add both of those to my library before mp3.com went down for redesign. looks like they should finally come back online soon too =)
