I'm headed to the South of Ireland for a week to see family and friends, and discover new places.
I need a driving playlist. Any suggestions?

Dropkick Murphys!
Heading into Cork or Limerick? Stop in Askeaton and tell the McMahon twins I miss them so. I used to live in Limerick.
Enjoy your journey. -
Christy Moore, the Chieftains, the Dubliners,Van the Man, Sinead O'Connor and maybe some Pogues.

Great suggestions guys, thank you!
@lightman1 I'll be heading to both Limerick and Cork I hope! The only for sure right now is Dingle and Limerick. I'll see if I can fit Askeaton in. Any tips for things to do in Limerick?
Dan, I'll have to check out House of Pain, I've actually never gave them a listen.

Fish and drink.... It's been 30 years since I set foot there. So things may have changed.
But there are still a lot of the old castles, fortresses etc. If you like that sort of thing. Intetesting historic sites are all over that area.
If you can make it towards Galway, check out the area called The Burren. Unique geological formations and such.
Bunratty Castle comes to mind. Kind of tourist trap, but fun.
The County Clare area is nice. -
Johnny Cash.

Gerry Rafferty

I would go Wagner 'Flight of the Valkyries' but that is just me.
How about Magical Mystery Tour? Some Kraftwerk?
Rush 'Red Barchetta' Gary Numan 'Cars' Steppenwolf 'Born to Be Wild?'
Bruce Springsteen 'Thunder Road?'
I STRONGLY recommend against the Twin Peaks soundtrack and
Irish drinkings songs.

If you can find it, there's an album by a band called Energy Orchard that's pretty good
https://youtu.be/80eq92g-bu0
Also rare, but classic, the soundtrack to Darby O'Gill and the Little People, coincidentally one of my favorite violent Disney's films, with traumatizing anti-alcohol message. The message is, don't drink in Ireland with leprechaun kings. They drink too much, can't keep up with fiddle playing, and you will choke them. They also lie about the gold.
