Does anybody know of any really good CD Album that have genuine Irish music on them?
Perhaps a particular artist / Band or a compilation of either?

Try Planxty, Sin e, via Amazon. I understand both bands are now defunct but they are very good. I bought a Sin e CD last week of Amazon.
Certain classic Irish bands, such as Clannad, have been engineered to death.
If you can find any recording with Liam O'Flynn, Donal Lunny, Liam O'Manlaia, Christy Moore - singly, or in combination, you can be sure of a good, authentic sound.

Anything by the Dubliners, you could even try the Pogues. For the past couple of years around st Patricks day there' been a compilation album called Shamrocks and Shenanigans, which might be good if you can find a copy.

All rubbish answers up to now.
You want to check out the early Chieftains albums, Mary Bergin, De Danaan, Patrick Street, Na Fili, The Furey Brothers, Leo Rowsome, Paddy Glackin, Planxty.
You do not want U2.

I'm not sure how legitimately Irish all the pieces on it are, but Arthur Fiedler's an Irish Night at the Boston Pops is a nice cd.

Buy the following:-
Anything by Christy Moore, The Corrs, U2, Damien Rice, Snow Patrol, Westlife, Phil Coulter and the Cranberries and you will have a good mix, oh and the Pogues

The Pogues obviously.
Get either 'If I Should Fall From Grace With God' or 'Rum, Sodomy And The Lash'.
I like Flogging Molly too, they're a bit more punk but if you're into that you'll probably like 'em!
