John Field - Romantic Irish composer of classical music. Although his work is quite scarcely recognised in this present day and age, Field is credited as a key influence by many of the composers in the generation that followed him including Brahms, Schumann and Chopin.

Dead Can Dance - World renowned musical project of composers Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry. Music ranges from dark pessimistic pop in the bands earliest years, to neo-medievalist romanticism on Within The Realm Of A dying Sun and The Serpent's Egg, to ecclectic world music in its later days.

Seán Ó Riada - Romanticist composer of note for both his interpretations of traditional and archaic Irish music as well his own Classical compositions.

My Bloody Valentine - Hypnotic noise pop from cult Irish band.

Primordial - Romantic black metal with a penchant for dramatism. By absorbing many ideas from native Irish arts became originators of a national style.
