St. Patty’s Day is Saturday, and that’s got us drinking green beer and cranking up the Irish music. Here are some favorites:

The Tossers. Chicago’s most well-known Irish band.

Avondale Ramblers. An up-and-comer from Chicago.

My Bloody Valentine. The “Loveless” album. Oh, man…

The Cranberries. RIP Dolores.

Hozier. Country Wicklow native who ended up on makeout playlists everywhere with this one:

The Pogues. Naturally.

Stiff Little Fingers. “The Irish Clash.”

Damien Rice.

Sinead O’Connor. Ignore the tabloid distractions. Her music is tremendous.

Dropkick Murphys. Boston’s long-running Celtic punks.

Thin Lizzy. The old-school favorite.

U2. Ireland’s biggest musical export.
