3 best Irish bands

[sadloserkid]

Three only mind!

For me it's:

Snow Patrol
Therapy?
and I can't think of a third one that really blows me away... maybe Thin Lizzy?

[James]

u talking about currently playing or ever
this is a toughy

[sadloserkid]

I was gonna say currently playing until I realised that my third band would probably be Petronella or The revs or this wicked unsigned band from Cork with no singer (Rest?) so I'll leave it up to you James. :D

[Macy]

1) U2
2) The Undertones
3) The Pogues

Bubbling under Johnny Cronin (You heard it here first folks), Whipping Boy, Thin Lizzy, The Frames, Substance....

Ooh, I'd forgotten all about Fergal and the boys. I'll have them instead of Thin Lizzy as my third.

[James]

U2
Whipping Boy (I know its based on 1 great album, but also about 5 or 6 deadly live performances)
and The frames

honourable mention to; something happens, and revelino :) (step on high.. great song)

I agree.
But Achthung Baby bates the pair of them like

[Pablo]

Feck Off Christy Moore.

[deise deserter]

1. The Revs
2. The Frank and Walters
3. Undertones

Most disliked Irish Band anyone?
Mine would have to be U2 - purely on the whole Bono advocating a Yes Vote on Nice.

[Pauro 76]

Id go for Thin Lizzy, The Undertones and U2....
High hopes for The Thrills, ‘One Horse Town’, best Irish single ive heard in yonks... surely Kerbdog deserve a mention?

[sadloserkid]

[Badweather Fan]

And they'd one (way better than any Wilt) song aswell which i have the tune, but can't remember the words too

Thank you.
You have given me my song for the night.
Me poor mam.

Yes Pauro, you're right.

Well most people's problem with U2 isn't music related.... I wouldn't classify them as bands, but they sure as hell clog up the radio/ charts/ record contracts with sh!te and hold up/ kill bands that actually have talents other than looking pretty...

[deise deserter]

Macy: Re: Your question.

The answer is yes. I have no time for them anymore.

[Badweather Fan]

Why?
Can ya not ignore Bonos "i'm the modern day Lennon"
awards speeches?
Why though?

Worst Irish band? Im voting for another band managed by the Destroyer Walsh... Bellefire!

1) for murdering U2 classic, ‘All I Want Is You’
and 2) spotted them in Dublin Airport, on our non-existent trip to Bulgaria, the only ‘celebs’ i spotted were them, I called over, said a friendly hi and asked would they sign my LongfordTown jersey, they just blanked me!!

and where are you now girls??? mwah hah ha h aha!

Then I'm also claiming Crowded House (Limerick mother) and Marillion (Dublin born keyboardist) :-) Am I the Worl'd youngest Marillion fan? I think so!!! :cool: Sorry, wrong emoticon... :o

[Dricky]

Well if it's going to be done on parentage we could have the worst as this wagons mother is from Cork. M C ring any bells, mental breakdown etc......

So The 'Mother of all wagons' does hail from cork at last those 'mother of all' statements finaly make sense!!!
