What about favorite traditional songs? Mine:

The Foggy Dew

Carrickfergus (or is it Carrick Fergus? I've seen it both ways.) - I love the Brian Kennedy version.. His voice is like silk.

Altan, the Chieftains, Silly Wizard-- those are the only Celtic groups I've really been exposed to, so I guess they're my favorites!

Some recommendations from me:

Salsa Celtica - a celtic/latin fusion.
Peatbog Faeries - celtic drum'n'bass
Martyn Bennet who died a few days ago from cancer at the tragically young age of 33. He was one of the leading lights of contemporary Scottish folk music.

I don't know alot about Celtic music but there's a really good Celtic sounding song called "Dark Moon, High Tide" by Afro Celt Sound System that always seems to be playing in my WMP these days.
