Who's your favorite celtic rock band?

Oh jeez, can I only have one favorite? So. Hard.

There's a lot of bands in the genre that I love. Flogging Molly, The Dreadnoughts, Dropkick Murphys, The Town Pants, Mudmen, The Tossers...too much great music. If I was going to a desert island for the rest of my life and could only take one band's catalogue with me I think the nod would go to The Pogues. Back in the late 80s/early 90s I was hugely into industrial and death metal, though I'd been listening to traditional music for years. A buddy of mine who was crazy for The Pogues turned me on to "If I Should Fall From Grace With God" one night before a show and I've been into them ever since.

I've been following Barleyyice (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enPAhdcWL_w) for years, but I also the Dropkick Murphys, Rathkeltair, the Pogues, and the Kilmaine Saints (a local Pennsylvania band.)

I also like the Screaming Orphans, but they are more pop.
