The Sound (LA), 3/17/09: Irish artists

[Gazoo]

I tuned in at 1:25pm ET in time for the Corrs + Bono's take on "When the Stars Go Blue."

[Gazoo]

A possible ATBB from the Sound: Flogging Molly, "Float."

[Tinka Cat]

others in this set I recall

sinead "Mandinka"
U2 "I Will Follow"
some Irish Rovers song!
Thin Lizzy "Cowboy Song" (partial -- the CD crapped out and the deejay bailed on it)
Van Morrison "Brown Eyed Girl"

uh-oh ... here come the Cranberries

[Gazoo]

Followed by the Cranberries' "Dreams."  Meh.

[urth]

some Irish Rovers song!

Perhaps the Song O' the Unicorn?

[RGMike]

some Irish Rovers song!

Perhaps the Song O' the Unicorn?

either that or "Wasn't That a Party", their unexpected Top 40 hit from the '80s.

[Gazoo]

BOS to the Waterboys, "Fisherman's Blues."  (raises a toast to a fallen comrade)

[Gazoo]

Thin Lizzy "Cowbpy" (partial -- the CD crapped out and the deejay bailed on it)

As atonement, they're playing "Whiskey in the Jar" as a bonus track.

that one's more Irish anyway.

[Tinka Cat]

The guitar lead in Whisky sounds definitely gaelic.  I'd love to hear a traditional irish instrument arrangement of this.

eta: duh: it IS at traditional song..

WLNG is about to play the "Unicorn"  -- I LOVED this when I was 12.
