Someone said ages ago that since phantom has a certain percent irish music policy that they should play some music in the irish language. I agree wholeheartedly.
Anyone agree that rock is getting FAR too cheesy these days?

rock is getting cheesy.
but what has that got to do with playing music in the irish language.
i don't imagine that there is one "alternative"band in ireland that uses the irish language...how could i relate to a song if i don't have a clue what theyre on about.....unless theyre rammstein.

du hast mech...oh and ich bien *boom-boom*

In fairness to Phantom, I heard the Rocky Road To Dublin not two weeks ago on Thursday Challenge. I know it's in english but come on!!!!! The rocky road to dublin!!! come on!!! and they weren't jokin either let me tell you. Next Week: Weile Weile Weile (live) (joe's bringing his spoons)

Ever listened to Sigur Ros Gar?

or lisa gerrard?

Lizzy Bee are you looking for something like Kila? Something that already exists or a completely new genre of music or whah? I'm a bit lost. You could say I lost the THREAD there a while back. You COULD. You wouldn't coz it would be unfunny but you COULD you see........

soma

kid icarus had a song called 'aisling' in which the chorus was in irish, never released though..

keefer

If you would like to hear songs 'As Gaeilge', then perhaps you could post some suggestions?

...and no 'Aon Focail eile' by Richie "hey I'm wearing blue rubber gloves" Kavanagh, doesn't count.

well sigur ros i've heard on no disco;it's ambient;therfore ,for me,ambient,doesn't need lyrics;and if they are there they don't need to be coherent

Kali

hmmm ... well Kila's "sean deora" is easily one of my top ten songs or thereaboots, and i cant speak a word of irish (bar madra beag and the like).

afro celt soundsystem have the odd track in irish as well..

and sorry did i see someone say they could possibly relate to rammstein? relate? rammstein? relate? oh dear
