Celtic rock and pagan rock are not equivalent.
This topic is now at least touched upon at folk-rock, so I've redirected there pending a proper article here. -- Jmabel | Talk 16:16, Dec 17, 2004 (UTC)
[edit] List
Is there a good reason why that monstrosity of a list is in this article? Fightindaman 22:05, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
- Or why genres are listed when this is presumably a list of Celtic Rock? Most genres are happy with a few examples. Perhaps it should be kept to that. Maybe make sure they are spread over a number of decades. 149.159.112.45 01:26, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Definition
I'm not happy with the definition as it stands, and I would like to see a reference for the assertion that Horslips were the first to name the genre. "Celtic" in modern usage means more than the Ancient Celts, and much music that involves the lives of Modern Celts is considered Celtic. Thus, there's no reason a band like The Pogues - who sung frequently about Irish matters - should be considered less Celtic simply because they were focused on the present. Similarly, I see no reason Horslips' "driving hard rock" is more suited towards being real "Celtic Rock" than the blues influenced music of L&L era Fairport. 149.159.112.45 01:30, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
