March of the Celts showcases the oddness of Enya’s music. March of the Celts (1987)Īfter Enya left family band Clannad, her solo career struggled until she got a chance to soundtrack the 1987 BBC TV series The Celts. Indeed, for years it seemed that its ubiquity obscured the stranger treasures in her discography. With the plinking, clipped synths and infernally moreish chorus, Orinoco Flow is the Enya song that everyone knows, yet it is arguably the least interesting moment on her breakthrough album, Watermark. Earlier this year, The Guardian’s Luke Turner posted something that must be characterized as the authoritative list of Enya music called Enya’s greatest songs – ranked! It is a great reference.

We all have our personal Enya favorites – songs that we love and cherish.
