My sister's very keen on her music,I like a few of them,I'm also into new age/ambient music generally like Terry and Mike Oldfield and Vangelis.

dude that chick has the best voice ever....she's really good!

She is one of the greatest female vocalists of our time.
Love her song "Baodicae" from "The Celts".
I have a few of Clannad's albums when she was with them.
Every now and then I hear her on "Thistle and Shamrock"
hosted by Fiona Richie on National Public Radio.

I've rolled over to Gary Stadler music lately. I made the mistake of listening to Enya's lyrics and the more I heard the more irritated I got. Especially in the song "Only Time" which many in my demographic seem to find profound, she tends to have the sort of lyric brilliance you find in a 12-year-old's poetry contest submission. Gary Stadler lyrics aren't exactly Wordsworth either, but I don't sense that he styles himself as being a poet either. Heck, if he does he's just going to have to accept reality eventually... meanwhile the music is pretty. Enya's is pretty also, but I got a tad burned on that and the mission bell effect that keeps turning up sounds like a Taco Bell commercial so I dunno. That said, I have a large collection of her music. I just overplayed it. The stuff from LOTR is indeed gorgeous and gratifying as well... I always fancied if such films were made that she should be involved in the music.
