A haunting ballad from one of the greatest bands of all time. This song evokes the memories of all those who were failed by the authorities in Ireland, be those authorities colonial or Irish. Millions have been forced to emigrate due to unnecessary hardships and deprivations in our beautiful land, from before the Famine, during […]
The Cardigans – My Favourite Game
This one is smokin’, the kinda song that you put on just before you head out to rob a bank… successfully.
Rolling Stones – Wild Horses
This is a beautiful track. Because of songs like this, I would have to say that the Stones just shade it over the Beatles, for me. Sometimes Rebels fall in love too. Enjoy.
The Pogues – Wild Cats Of Kilkenny
This is what the banshee sounds like when you’re drunk on Irish poitín.
Iron Horse – Rocket Man
This version of the Elton John classic really rocks. Try to listen to it without tapping your feet… I dare you… but don’t do yourself an injury (stay away from the poitín (moonshine)), and don’t you dare marry your cousin, or aunt, or a hog. Rebel Voice would like to take this opportunity to apologise […]
Pink Floyd – Wish You Were Here
For a true man of principle, Roger Waters… friend to the dispossessed, the oppressed, the persecuted, the forgotten, the ignored, the good… the people of Palestine.
Dire Straits – Brothers In Arms [Rock]
This classic track from the eighties has a fantastic video. It makes all drunken men want to remember their time in the war, even if they weren’t in a war.
The Doors – The End
Eerie and hauntingly beautiful.
Creedence Clearwater Revival – Fortunate Son
Can you listen to this without thinking of a Vietnam war movie. As the world moves ever closer to global conflict, perhaps this song will once again become extremely relevant. Will Trump’s children have to carry a gun and kill or be killed?
Sex Pistols – Holiday In The Sun
Thin Lizzy – Whiskey In The Jar
A rock version of a traditional Irish ballad.
