Especially her earlier albums. I don't know why she has been tarred as some kind of new age music joke. And you are supposed to be embarrassed to like her music. I found those early albums at least, hauntingly beautiful, with a Celtic influence, and sung with an angelic voice. They are timeless and when I do play them today, I am filled with such light and positive energy. Love it as background when doing creative work
I also liked what she did with the theme song for The Lord of the Rings, "May it Be"

Rory was the first that came to my mind. Lots of good stuff from the Emerald Isle, though.

Waterboys are kinda more Scottish, really, though they've had members from all over UK
