Sorry mate but The Cranberries suck big time.. & Im tempted to download Orthodox Celts.. Serbians playing Irish Folk Music??? I need to hear it!

I read about Rory in guitar magazines long before I actually heard of him, (like they say the reputation preceeds the man) Fender made an awesome replica of his Guitar,
I love U2 when they first came out, but lost interest same as you with Achtung, Baby, but I like some of the newer stuff.
Cranberries were a throw-away, no need to apolgize, I couldn't think of any more bands, still I do like some of their songs like Dreams and Linger.
someone mention Irish heritage so here is my list
Irish Heritage
The Real Irish:
Seamus Tansey - Irish flute
Seamus Ennis - uilleann pipes, penny whistle, mouth music
Turlough O'Carolan - some of his work are transcribe to guitar and are worth hearing
Scotch-Irish (Scots-Irish) Americans:
Elvis Presley
Johnny Cash
Eddie Cochran
Merle Haggard
Irish-Catholic Americans:
Black 47 - NYPD Irish rock band
Irish-Liverpudians:
George Harrison
Paul McCartney
I didn't want to stray from the topic but while one the subjuect of Irish bands let's not forget
Bands from Scotland!:
The Rezillos - the first and best Punk band in the UK during the 70's
Big Country - In A Big Country is one of the best one hit wonders in America during the 80's
Tanahill Weavers - the best for Celtic instrumental music.
