I strangely like the Wolfe Tones - with the slight disadvantage being I'm English

And I'm obsessed with Irish folk music.. I'm really not a normal teenage lad

Thanks for your contribution. Any time you're struggling with a decision do let me know about it. I'm very interested in your thought processes.

The 'culchie songs' are deadly, at least ya can sing along ta them and make up your own words when your to drunk ta remember the proper ones:D

Rebels songs are brilliant, catchy tunes and meaningful words, what more could you ask for?

Dudess · 27-07-2009 07:37PM

I thought the OP was referring to Summer of '69, Living On a Prayer and Sweet Child O' Mine.

Seven Drunken Nights a culchie song? No way! Trad and folk aren't necessarily culchie-ish at all (e.g. The Dubliners, Dublin City Ramblers, Chieftains).

culchienator · 27-07-2009 07:42PM

finally a forum about my music :P

brummytom · 27-07-2009 07:43PM

Sorry for my ignorance, I think I've been told this before actually but can't remember

What's a culchie?

PrivateEye · 27-07-2009 08:25PM

The Dubliners are as far from culchie-music as you can get. I hate that attitude towards classics like The Dubliners actually, if an American 'indie-folk' band came out with half them songs they'd be packing out Vicar Street, as far as folk music goes The Dubliners lead the pack. Nothing bugs me more than hearing young Dubs I know lump them in with what I consider 'Aer Lingus' music, especially when its youngsters who 'party hard' but wouldn't last half a night with that lot, or floppy haired young lads who make what they consider "folky music, like Bob Dylan and Wilco and sh/t" Suppose if they were Irish they wouldn't listen to 'em either :rolleyes:

What's a culchie?

I've gone for a very simple colour code here, basically the white ones.

OK, so it's just someone who's not from Dublin?

I'm not quite sure what 'Culchie music' is really.. but I really do honestly thing the Dubliners are true, real legends... Luke, Ronnie, Ciaran, Barney, John, Jim, Sean, Eamonn, Patsy (even Bobby who was only with them a short time RIP; and Paddy Reilly.. who I'm not too fond of).
They managed to completely reform a whole genre of music - before they (and others; The Clancys, Andy Irvine, Christy Moore etc.) revived Irish folk music, it was elitist/snobby... they returned it to what it's meant to be, music of the people, no bull****.
Great songs, fun or thoughtprovoking, great voices, and great people

I only wish I could have been alive to see the 'Original' Dubliners back in the day but even now, 47 years later, they're still managing to sell out venues throughout Europe.

How anyone can knock them is beyond me.

Totally. It's like that alt country stuff much of which is just unfathomably dreary... but Uncut magazine says it's cool so let's start liking it.

Something tells me a lot of new Johnny Cash "fans" would have considered him awfully hillbilly muck before he died. I still think lots of his songs are awful hillbilly muck (even if the man himself was pretty cool and he did record some good songs).

It was shortly after the release of Walk the Line, that I began noticing a trend on peoples bebo pages. Their taste in music would consist entirely of Tiesto, and countless DJ whatevers, and at the end of the list Johnny Cash would be recently addded. Yeah I'm sure you're a lifelong fan and like other music of a similiar nature.

I love the Seven Drunken Nights song when you're drunk. Nothing beats banging the pub tables and graciously throwing your drink everywhere whilst waving your arms to the beat of the song.

The Saw Doctors are a brilliant culchie band with song topics that range from bailing hay to a red cortina car.

Not a fan of the country and western music though tha is constantly played on the regional radio stations. You know when you hear a name like Big Tom, that the song that follows can't be promising.

Well I have been a pilot now for fifteen years or more
Of beam rifles and m-warheads I thought I knew the score
Now we have a weapon that we've never used before
The Zeons are looking worried and they're going to worry more

Watash1tachi no nichi ha kuru, sing up the 'EF
Gundams in the sky

I started out with incoms and throwing beams and bits
There were a hundred more lads like me I never was alone
Soon I learned that beams and bits won't drive the Zeons away
It wasn't very long before I joined the IEF

Watash1tachi no nichi ha kuru, sing up the 'EF
Gundams in the sky

Then there came internment in the year of UC'71
The Zeons thought we were beaten that we were on the run
On that early august morning they kicked in our white base
But for every man they took away they missed twenty more

Watash1tachi no nichi ha kuru, sing up the 'EF
Gundams in the sky

I spent eight years in the cages had time to think and plan
Although they locked away a boy I walked out a man
There's only one thing that I learned while in a cell I lay
The Zeons will never leave us until they're blown away

Watash1tachi no nichi ha kuru, sing up the 'EF
Gundams in the sky

All through the days of launcher strike I watched my comrades die
And in the streets of Earth you could hear the women cry
I can't forget the massacre that Friday at Rub' al Khali
I salute my fallen comrades as I watch the mobile suits fall

Watash1tachi no nichi ha kuru, sing up the 'EF
Mobile suit Gundams in the sky

Fixed.

anthony4335 · 28-07-2009 09:30AM

The OP is a "benighted" fool (although I had to google the word myself, so I am not feeling much better).
I would love to know what it means to be a culchie, I have been classed as one growing up ,even though I have rarely set foot on a farm. As for the culchie music ,there is no such genre. As for mocking any form of music it shows little appriciation for music as a whole. As you will find out when you grow up, genres of music you could not stand as a kid, can quite easily grow on you ,and stuff that you though was the only good music sometimes becomes like chalk on a blackboard. As some one pointed out about Johnny Cash , now been consisdered cool, while only a few years ago his music was confined to your fathers record collection, and before that he was the original bad boy rocker and would make most rockstars today question the cool/hard status. As for the Dubliners all you need to know about them is the names of the greatest who have payed tribute to one of ireland's greatest bands, and call themselfs fans, ie Dylan.
