Treasury-The Very Best of

2010 two CD collection from the Irish outfit, the true fathers of Celtic Rock. Founded in Dublin during 1970 as a quintet playing a brand of Folk-based Rock music whose only parallel could be found in the early work of Fairport Convention. Horslips drew on their distinctly Irish roots, and were capable of playing straight Folk material when the moment called for it, but weren’t afraid to turn up loud and hard, in the best art-rock style, on the right songs. With all their most famous tracks in a superb gatefold digipack, this release will be a joy to all Horslips fans. 34 tracks.
