Odd that the Red Hot Chilli Pipers are not mentioned in this thread. If you're talking about pipers kicking ass, that's the first band I think of.
I generally prefer smaller pipes though. There are many more varieties than highland pipes. I'm happy to see at least some Ulleann pipes earlier in the thread, but most of Europe has a bagpipe tradition if you go back a while.
My favourite bagpipe sound is the Northumbrian pipes. Look up Kathryn Tickell for a great player.
