Music Recommendations?

For piping, I like the Red Hot Chili Pipers and The Wicked Tinkers. If you can find them, check out Barleyjuice and the Tim Malloys. Dropkick Murphys always good for a bit of 'oi' like Flogging Molly and the Real MacKenzies. See also An Dochas, the Mudmen and Great Big Sea.

Thanks for all the band names and recommendations!!!, I think I will have a lot of research this weekend.

BTW, what´s Pandora??

Celtic Rock:
Tartan Terrors
The Mahones

You should also check out the McDades (LINK). Their roots are in Celtic music, but they also bring in influences from a lot of other areas, such as country, jazz, classical, and world music.

Pandora Internet Radio (www.pandora.com).

It's a music-streaming service that you can customize to your personal blend of musical tastes.

I agree with OC's post earlier. Although it's not Scottish, the Bothy Band is pretty good, too. Cecil, you're also spot-on with Albannach.

Thank you so much mates!, so far I already found all these:

Bothy Band - The Best of the Boothy Band (1983)

Still looking for the rest of your recommendations.

My favorite Celtic-style rock band is Wolfstone.

Yay! Cara! Hill of Thieves is a great song. Her song Bonny Bonny is another great one but it's sad. About the Irish fighting a war not their own and the sadness of going away to war. Craigie Hill is another good one about many Irish who left to go to America to find their fame and fortune and mostly never returning to Ireland.

Lots of great recommendations and I definitely recommend Wicked Tinkers (http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/ban...ast/id18737605) and
Julie Fowlis (http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/mar...rt/id217002780) who are both available on iTunes, at least in the US.
