Christy Moore Top 20

Tony_Montana

I was watching Christy Moore on TG4 on New Years Night and i heard some great songs that i had never heard before. I was thinking of making a CD of his top 20 songs. What songs should definetly be included?

buffalo909

A letter to Syracuse from Prosperous, one of his earliest albums and Beeswing, two of his finest

vibez

Have a listen out for Micky Mclhatton, written by Bobby Sands in Hblocks Christy & Dec put the music to it.

Brilliant

Raytown Rocks

"Ordinary Man" is great and quite apt for the current economic climate.
I alos like " The Voyage"

BuyingorSelling

lisdoonvarna would have to be there

CSC

North and South
Ride On
Viva La Quinta Brigada
The Lakes of Pontrachain
Black is the Colour

jossnjuice

for me it has to be these few....

lawless
lisdoonvarna
wise and holy woman
two island swans
viva la quinta brigada
smoke and strong whisky
the lonesome death of hattie carroll
beeswing
faithful departed
minds locked shut
dont forget your shovel
ponchatrain
the voyage
joxer

and if ya want try and get declan sinnot his back up man singing corina corina.......class guitar player and a decent pair of lungs too!!

Very true - was at one of the vicar street gigs just gone and you could tell there was alot of people who were singing along to this song as if it was wrote for them.

Another vote here for Hattie Carroll

Raytown Rocks

Delirium Tremens and Biko drums
Another 2 I like

christy's 14 min version of the rose of tralee song.... great song with a great story to it, you have to add that in.

And you will never go wrong with Joxer goes to stuggart o and my other favourite is The Reel in the Flickering Light.

A Stitch in Time from 'The Time has Come Album'. It's a great song,

I also love 'A Pair of Brown Eyes' written by Shane McGowan,

I really believe that LITTLE MUSGRAVE is christy's best song by far. The story of how he found the lyrics in a ruin somewhere makes it even better...
