Seeing as you said you've already searched for songs from Irish artists, I'm sure you've found a song by them already, but just in case you haven't, I'd say The Dubliners would be essential for a St. Patrick's Day pack, either with Whiskey in the Jar or Rocky Road to Dublin.

As far as celtic bands go, I know a few. The most obvious choice for Rock Band would probably be The Waterboys, with Fisherman's Blues being their biggest Celtic-sounding hit, but Strange Boat could work, too, or even Killing My Heart.

If you don't mind going into Newfoundland music, which sounds a lot like Irish music but with a few more English elements thrown in, you can probably find something good with Buddy Wasisname and the Other Fellers or Great Big Sea. There's also a band called The Celtic Connection that may have a few good songs. Their biggest hit was Sixteen For a While, but I think The Last Shanty has a better Irish sound to it. There are also a few more traditional songs like Lukey's Boat.

I hope some of this stuff helped, or gave you somewhere to start looking for other Celtic stuff.

Been thinking of adding in The Dubliners, I probably will. I just need two more artists to fill in my promise of 10 artists... Here's a sneak peak at what I have lined up:

Ash
Clannad
The Cranberries
The Divine Comedy
Thin Lizzy
Two Door Cinema Club
U2
The Waterboys

It couldn't be more mainstream! I also thought of adding in some bands who also sound Irish but aren't from Ireland (Dropkick Murphys, Gaelic Storm etc.) or possibly including a band who no one likes but I already have a song by them in this thread (coughcoughthescriptcoughcough), but I don't have tiers made for those yet.

I would say go for the Dropkick Murphys as it's way more likely people will know one of their songs as opposed to a more obscure celtic artist. For the other one, I'd say The Dubliners are a good choice, because they'd probably be the most traditional band on the list, and I feel like there should be one good Irish folk song in there.

Dropkick Murphys and/or The Pogues would be awesome. Neither is technically Irish, but they really do the Irish sound. Also, Van Morrison and Snow Patrol are both from Northern Ireland (but I think Snow Patrol probably falls into the same category as The Script here).

Last requests look good, by the way, but it seems you left the genre off of Michael Traction. Not anything you need to go back and fix, but what would you have put there, just out of curiosity?

Darn, I got sloppy last night. :/ Probably Indie Rock or Alternative, but most likely the former.

Anyway, The Dubliners and Van Morrision can fill my empty spots, thanks! As for Snow Patrol, I was really debating whether I should include "Set Fire To The Third Bar", but I decided against it not because people dislike Snow Patrol, but because they aren't totally Irish. :P Yeah a bit of a dumb reason but that was what I decided.

I approve of all of these. I can't think of any to add to this. Maybe some more Flogging Molly? Most of the alternative UK bands that I listen to are scottish... :S
