Im not usually one to like rock/celtic music (a la Gaelic Storm, even though they surprised me when I saw them on the Rock Boat last year) but a friend of mine just turned me on to Great Big Sea’s new album and it really is great! Its definitely more of a rock record through and through but it still has some of the celtic roots overtop. They’ve been around for a really long time though, can anyone tell me which albums theyd recommend??

I grew up in the Canadian Maritimes and Great Big Sea was one of my favorite bands in the 90s. My personal favorite album is 'Play'. Most of the tracks on there are great. Their new album was their first charting on the Billboard 200, debuting at #159.

Seems like a cool band, but this thread is probably inappropriate for this forum. If they have a single going for adds at alternative or rock radio, be sure to let us know by starting a thread for that, but otherwise, this should be in the general artist discussion section of the board.

It's odd seeing one of Canada's most well-known artists being discussed as a newly discovered band.

Whoa. I was expecting this to be street team spam, but it's the opposite of that, really.

and I'd recommend Up and also Play... great songs. Not a big fan of their new stuff. Seems as if they're straying away from their Newfie roots.
