Westlife and Boyzone.

One of my best friends is from Galway and she goes on about how good the Irish are at music. Judging by most of the evidence, this isn't true. There are only a few good ones I could suggest from memory.

The Pogues and Damien Rice (not a band, but hey). Van Morrison (not a band, but good all the same) and ASH are also good if you're including the Northern Irish.

The Cranberries are ok too, although they're probably easier to remember here for sounding very Irish rather than being good.

Ash is an Irish band?
Guys that made the CD 1977?
Well I guess I just learned somthing new today.

And the Cranberries are just tolerable. Nothing to write home about.

I'm suprised no one's mentioned U2 yet.

Probably because they don't want us to kill them. Why, are you mentioning them now?

People here HATE U2.

I love U2 though... So i just learned to tune out the haters.

Piss Me Off made a good call on The Pogues and My Bloody Valentine... There are certainly others but i can't think of any at the moment.

But every country has their good bands... People who think otherwise are just dumb.

Now I'llg ive my two cent on U2. i think they're somewhat overrated. I think their music is positive and somewhat uplifting. But the tone of their songs is just too cherrry for me to handle.
They're pretty good live though. but I'd never go see them unless someone else was paying for the ticket. I'd hate to waste my money, much less my time to see them perform.

And I've only heard a few things by My Bloody valentine, and definitely not enough to from an opinion since the only times I've ever heard My Bloody Valentine, I was a little preoccupied or in an altered state of consciousness.
