Question re Celtic/Irish/Chieftains music

This is a question for someone knowledgeable about Celtic/Irish toe-tappin' music of the kind played by The Chieftains. If you could have only one or two CDs of this music, the absolutely indispensable, desert-island choices you couldn't live without, what would they be? (And of course it would be nice if they were well engineered and had great sound.) Thanks.

the cheiftains own, 'tears of stone'

and

loreena mckennitt's 'live in paris and tornoto'

would be my two keepers in this general genre...

I only have two celtic-type cd's. One that I really get a lot of enjoyment out of is entitled "Putumayo Presents Celtic Tides, A Musical Odyssey." A collection of celtic artists I purchased from a Coldwater Creek clothing store.

I hope you don't stop at two. I've been smitten by Irish music for tha last couple of years, and have been adding to my collection about 1 out of 5 purchases since. One two-disc set I particularly enjoy is "Joyful Noise," it is a collection of artists on the Green Linnet label GLCD108.
