1. The Days of Abundance by The Barley Boys
   I just absolutely loved this CD. Enough said.

2. Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers by Marc Gunn & The Dubliners' Tabby Cats
   Hilarious, hiss-tarical, fun and a don't-miss CD!!!

3. RogueTrip by The Rogues
   Every song is a good one, not just a few good tracks.

4. Play Live by Old Blind Dogs
   I'm usually not a fan of live CDs, but this made my top 10. It jams.

5. The Hard & The Easy by Great Big Sea
   Acoustic-and fantastic.

6. Woman of the House by Cherish the Ladies
   Beautiful and a large range of talent.

7. Celtic Woman
   Can't help it, its good!

8. The Warrior's Code by Dropkick Murphys
   Punky as usual. Good, as usual!

9. Waiting for an Echo by Solas
   Sometimes a little bit different is great.

10. Piping Hot by MacTalla Mo'r
