    Does anybody listen to it on this isle?

    I turn on the radio ( no mp3 these days :o ) and I hear everything but the rebs. Why? Does our history not matter?

    I'll give you an example of the music we're lacking. Is it illegal or what?

    Mods: Trying to get a general opinion on this.

    :confused:


    I do but I use CDs I've tons of tem

    Here's another good one, however this is a more clever rebel song, it has rebel undertones but it's almost like a code, you might need to listen to it 4 or 5 times to get it. Hidden meanings and clever metaphors everywhere. It's not your run of the mill rebel song, more 'upmarket' rebel song if you were, the thinking man's kind. More poetry than song if you please:

    I do not like it. Not because it's fashionable
    to not like it, I could just never get into it.

    As to why it's not played on the radio because they pander to the masses and only play whatever's in the charts. Which is why I buy CD's. I'm my own personal DJ and I love all the songs I play :)

    I used to work in a music shop an about 90% of the people who bought rebel song cds were the knuckle dragging "up the ra" tatoo sporting, celtic jersey wearing gobsh1tes that give it a bad name. have heard enough of it over the years to realise its sh1te music though.

    I cringe when I hear people singing Sean South, the man was an ultra catholic fascist.

    I love it myself, my fathers car used to have a glovebox filled with nothing but Spirit of Freedom and Irish Brigade tapes, so I think a lot of its nostalgia with me, with the satirical nature of a lot of The Irish Brigades stuff is immense lyrically, nobody does tounge in cheek quite like Gerry O'Glackin. He wrote a crazy amount of the 80's era of rebs both the silly (for want of a better word) ones and the ballads. Roll of Honour, Sam Song, Ballad of Francis Hughes, Fathers Blessing etc and hes a sound chap too to boot!

    Great music but doesn't get much coverage.
    Also many of the songs capture a historical moment from our past which would otherwise be lost in the transient commercialised world we live in today.

    Some of its great some stuff from the wolfhound or barleycorn but what put me off years ago were groups like eire og screaming into a microphone
    Jesus wept do people buy cds of those brazen head groups?

    Never heard Roddy McCorley before - it's exactly the same tune as Seán South of Garryowen!

    Love of a genre of music is subjective.

    Stick any genre in that topic, and you'll get similar responses.. Rock, heavy metal, pop, techno... It's not for everybody.

    I like a lot of rebel songs - they tell stories of real people, real struggles and are historical. A lot of verses are very thought-provoking. In particular the line in Joe McDonnell - "And you dare to call me a terrorist, while you look down your gun." at a time when British troops were murdering civilians in Belfast and Derry.

    Not for everyone - but it is for me. Compare and contrast it with the likes of music that exists today, millionaires moaning about how their lives are so tough, or some generic nonsense about how someone wants someone else to be their girlfriend/boyfriend.

    Judging by the above YouTube embedding skills (or lack thereof), it's your favourite song right now.
