Aside from writing about the troubles they sound like any other punk band at the time.

I'd say any of Flogging Molly's popular songs (Drunk Lullabies, Seven Deadly Sins, etc) are the better Irish punk songs. I don't like the Dropkick Murphys though so I'm biased.

Villagers are so good. I feel really bad for the dude though, being named Collin O'Brien and making music that sounds kinda similar to Bright Eyes.

Lots of suggestions in the Country, Folk and World forum; the Good Irish Bands thread includes a lively debate about the merits of U2.

Almost everyone I`ve played it to likes the cd Irish Heartbeat by Van Morrison and The Chieftains. If you don`t put some of that on yr mixtape, you may never see your housemate dancing to Marie`s Wedding :

Step we gaily, on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe
Arm and arm and row and row
All for Marie`s wedding.

(O.K not strictly Irish but still essential)

Excellent stuff guys, I think I'll upload the mix to the compilation forum when I'm done with it
