    i think for me it has to be... The town i loved so well by Luke Kelly, its a great song with meanful lyrics although its very close one to call iv so many of them its hard to pic a favourite.

    My best ever would have to be Ger Wolfe's The Curra Road, sung by Karan Casey.

    I'd feel like saying "and this one", "and that one"...
    Ok, can I add just 2 more ? Eochiall (Ciaran Galvin with Danu), and Molly Na gCuach Ni Chuilleanain (Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh).
    :)
