Planxty

This album follows a natural progression of emotions throughout a typical drinking session, from boisterousness to defiance, even to getting political. Two thirds of this album is traditional folk tunes sung beautifully, with all the pathos Irishmen can muster.

The great gaels are of Ireland are the men whom God made mad
For all their wars are merry, and all their songs are sad

Good as watching guys drink at the pub. At first, it's fun seeing men having fun, you hear some stuff you wouldn't hear on any other occasion, but as it drags on, you get bored to all hell and wish you were somewhere else.
