Included on the 1986 release Poguetry in Motion.

They were the first band to incorporate Celtic music and have influenced groups with Irish members, such as Dropkick Murphys.
It’s a truly pastoral track that prominently showcases the character of folk music.
Sunshine On A Rainy DayZoe
Included on the 1991 album “Scarlet Red and Blue.” Born in 1969.
A London-born singer-songwriter.
With a mid-tempo, bright and cheerful rhythm, a fresh, poppy melody, and well-blended vocal harmonies, everything comes together beautifully, making it very easy to listen to.
She’s A RainbowThe Rolling Stones
This song, often used in stylish commercials, is timeless—always fresh and not bound by its era.
Released in 1967, it has a psychedelic rock vibe, yet its bright, up-tempo, pop-leaning melody makes it quite easy to listen to.
The lyrics feel like a fairy tale, earnestly singing about how “she” is stunningly beautiful, like a rainbow.
The line comparing her to a beautiful rainbow after the rain is especially memorable.
Red RainPeter Gabriel
Included on the 1986 album “So.” Born in 1950.
A singer-songwriter from the UK.
While the album featured many pop-oriented tracks like “Sledgehammer,” this song carries the weightier sound reminiscent of his earlier four albums—its heaviness lingers in your heart long after listening.
