Yeah think so I dont know much about their background I just used to really like the album 'So Much For The City' years ago when I was into Stereophonics and mostly just bland music. I havent listened to them in years as I have moved on to other things but I might dig it out and give it a listen. I also bought another album of theirs but never really listened to it all the way through- 'Let's Bottle Bohemia'. So what other music do u like?

But if you mean Good Irish Bands for playing Irish Folk Music then the band to check out is Orthodox Celts, and they're not even Irish, they're Serbian. A Good Irish Band (but not actually an Irish band on the technicality for being fictional movie band) is The Commitments from the movie The Commitments. In the movie they're a Blue Eye Soul band from Dublin.

You should check out the band,Orthodox Celts on Youtube.
Oh yeah I forgot about Rory Gallagher...how could I lol. As for U2 their early stuff is good up till about Achtung Baby they started to go ****. What Ive found with U2 is that I just cant listen to their stuff or appreciate it just simply for what they are now. Thin Lizzy I totally forgot about too. 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.

Can believe no one mentioned Therapy?



One band that deserves to be mentioned are JJ72. It's a shame they split up because they never got the recognition they deserved.

One of the guys at my local record store gave me the album Nurse by them. I haven't listened to it. Am I missing out?
