Been a while since you asked but here's my opinion...

Dubliners by a mile,
Pogues ok,
High Kings..shite, thought they were boyzone for a min.

[Arthur_Friend]

Here's a few good tunes...

Dubliners - Chief O'Neill's favourite

Dubliners - Cork hornpipe

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SBTkt18Tjo

Dubliners - Oro se do bheatha bhaile

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRNou-7gI4o

Dubliners - Kid on the mountains

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

Planxty - East at Glendart

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgzBGeCAO1U

[BennyCake]

Never could understand the fuss with Carrickfergus. Never like that song.

'Only Our Rivers Run Free' and 'Down By The Sally Gardens' are two of my favourites.

[ardchieftain]

Horslips - Dearg Doom
Horslips - Trouble
Clannad - Newgrange
Thin Lizzy - Emerald
Primordial - Coffin Ships
Waylander - To Dine in the Otherworld
Stiff Little Fingers - Alternative Ulster

can't decide which folk songs to put here - must break out the chieftains and fureys albums

Dubliners by a mile,
Pogues ok,
High Kings..shite, thought they were boyzone for a min.

Pogues and Dubliners versions both class but I'd have the Pogues slightly ahead... High Kings awful.

[balladmaker]

Dubliners version by a country mile ... Pogues a distant second ... High Kings, pure dung, a manufactured band with a million euro of promo behind them still doesnt make them good.

The brilliant ballad voice of Chris Kavanagh performing with The Dubliners recently:

[Fear Bun Na Sceilpe]

Óró, Sé do Bheatha 'Bhaile

[Arthur_Friend]

Óró, Sé do Bheatha 'Bhaile

Any particular artist?

[Sportacus]

Saw the High Kings, very good. Anybody who says they are sh*te is talking sh*te. Maybe they aren't The Pogues but to say they are sh*te is just crap talk.
