12. Ah, the Wolfe Tones.
Good stuff. My parents used to play their albums when I was but a wee lad. I still remember some of the album covers, and find myself singing "A Nation Once Again" every once in a while. (Usually just after I've watched "A Hard Day's Night.")

20. I love rebel songs. "Boys of the Old Brigade" is probably my favorite...
but "Sean South," "A nation once again," and "Irish Republican Army" are all really good too.

23. "The Rising Of The Moon"
"O'Donnell Aboo"

"The Men Of The West"

Ahhh, the songs of my youth. My Father taught me never to trust a man that bows before a king.

F.T.B.
