1* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: "The Mummers Dance," both it's original version and the DNA remix which became a hit single. Later live performances often combine the two into an equally catchy up-tempo rock tune.
2* FandomRivalry: A mostly civil one with Music/{{Enya}}. While neither camp is exactly at one another's throats on the matter, there are some debates among fans over which one of them does Celtic-style NewAge music better.
3* GeniusBonus: "Night Ride Across The Caucasus" makes a ''lot'' more sense if you're familiar with Yogic theory and beliefs. For more specifics: thundering hooves and beating wings are the sensations they are said to feel in the spine and the roots of the ancient tree are the spine where the divine power of Kundalini is located.
4* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Many of her songs which are not tragic ballads (and even some that are) act as this due to their being expressions of love and devotion, but particularly notable are "Penelope's Song" and "Never Ending Road."
5-->''The road now leads onward''\
6''I know not where''\
7''I feel in my heart that you will be there''\
8''Whenever a storm comes''\
9''Whatever our fears''\
10''The journey goes on''\
11''As your love ever nears''\
12''Here is my heart, I give it to you''\
13''Take me with you across this land''\
14''These are my dreams, so simple and few''\
15''Dreams we hold in the palm of our hands.''
16* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: In every live version she's done of "The Bonny Swans" since ''The Mask and the Mirror'' came out, but especially the one from her ''Live in Paris and Toronto'' concert, the moment when the harp reveals to the entire court what her "false sister Anne" did to her is punctuated by an absolutely badass electric guitar riff which underscores just how screwed her sister is by the reveal.
17* NightmareFuel: Enough to merit [[NightmareFuel/LoreenaMcKennitt its own page.]]
18* SignatureSong: Probably "The Mystic's Dream". Or "The Mummers' Dance".
