Consistently voted one of the greatest Irish songs of all time, Horslips' Dearg Doom was released April 1973. Johnny Fean's guitar riff, inspired by the old Irish trad tune Chief O'Neill's March, is instantly recognisable. A short clip of it features in this advert for the McMór by McDonalds which aired in 2014.

The epic, soaring rock anthem by Dublin based pop-rock-electro duo Darling was placed in the Hodson Bay Hotel radio and online campaign in Summer 2016. The song's inspirational melody and motivational lyrics were a perfect fit for this joyous and uplifting series of radio and online commercials.
