Yesterday we posted Christy Moore’s excellent tune “Delirium Tremens” on our Facebook page and the reaction we got from our readers was fantastic.

However, when we got to deciding what today’s song should be, we couldn’t quite decide between two, then we thought that you obviously have great taste in Irish music, so instead, we will ask you to decide!

What tune should we crown “Song of the Day” for Wednesday?

Vote in our poll for your favorite song chosen by the IrishCentral team today and we’ll post it on Facebook as our “Song of the Day”.

For my part I’ve opted for “On the Rocky Road to Dublin” performed by Damian Dempsey:

Molly Muldoon chose “The Starting Gate” by Planxty:

Niall O’Dowd chose “On Raglan Road”:

The winning song will be posted on our Facebook page at 3pm so keep an eye out for who’s the winner!

I think these music video clips are a terrific idea, particularly to start the weekend. I concur with Niall's choice, being of a similar vintage, and a Dubliner. Luke Kelly's rendition of this Patrick Kavanagh classic is surely one of the best of many a good Irish ballad. Bono once spoke of seeing Luke walking across O'Connell Street with his characteristic Celtic flame red hair, and rugged complexion. Tragic he died so young of a brain haemorrhage. Planxty one also. There absolutelly timeless, like Christie himself. The Muppets rendition of characteristic Irish sentimentality was a hoot and a half, as Kevin MacAleer says. Couldn't make out which was Gerry and which was Martin. And if that was Peter Robinson in the middle. Keep up the disc-jockeying, IrishCentral.
