It’s easy being green on St. Patrick’s Day! Whether it’s eating the odd green bagel at the office’s breakfast spread, having a mini-movie marathon of great films set in Ireland, or immersing yourself in a novel from one of Ireland’s legendary writers.

And some will never pass up an opportunity to throw down and party on a random weekday with friends all dressed in emerald, imbibing the requisite Guinness.

It’s one of the most spirited and convivial holidays of the year and we have the perfect St. Patrick’s Day playlist to set the mood.

We’ve got classic Celtic pub tunes from The Pogues, Dropkick Murphys and The Dubliners if you’d rather avoid the crowds and enjoy a beer at home.

Or if you’re more in the mood for rock music, we’ve added tunes from some of the biggest artists (and rebels) in rock & roll, all with Irish roots. Like The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen, The Doors, Talking Heads and Smashing Pumpkins.

And Irish eyes also smile upon Irish-American pop stars like Kelly Clarkson, Katy Perry, Justin Timberlake, and Fergie.

We’d be remiss not to mention homegrown Irish musicians who have become international stars like U2, Enya, The Corrs, and The Cranberries. And rounding out the list are some old-school crooners: Judy Collins, Bing Crosby and Judy Garland, who spirit us away.
