ShlappinDahBass Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 By-Tor = Lyrically Different Strings = Sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 You mean the most celtic-sounding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod in Toronto Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 None, I guess. Maybe Workung Man because of the "ice cold beer" line, but that's a loooong stretch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disk98 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I'd say "Rivendell." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetersvt Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Closest thing to me would be 'A Farewell To Kings'. Plus it was recorded in Wales, not too terribly far away.It certainly has a midieval feel to it which fits my thoughts of Ireland. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombstone Mountain Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I think their cover of "Danny Boy" fits the bill here...it's off of their early work called Irish Diplomacy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWinslowOfWillowdale Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Broon's Bane/The Trees/Jacob's Ladder/Xanadu ......I actually think these tunes (including AFTK's) have more of an Olde English feel....Neil is of English descent I believe?

CygnusGal Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Resist. It has a hammered dulcimer and a nice lilting, folky feel. I can learn to resist anything but temptation. :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Dog Years. It's a little known fact that it was written about an Irish Setter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2112rushfan1 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 "Resist" I would say. I believe on the Different Stages cd, Geddy says it is "inspired by the great country of Scottland" Not Ireland, but close enough I would say... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyclonus X-1 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Alex has spoken of Leave That Thing Alone as having a celtic flavor to it. I don't really hear it... A Farewell to Kings and Hope are nice choices, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
