    SOMETHING HAPPENS? Never even f***ing heard of them.

        The Corrs suck - embarrassed to say they're Irish excpet that they're so good looking.
        The Stunning were good in their day.

        Are we forgetting about a certain Boyzone

              U2 for what they have achieved with lots of hard work, and this will be a big year for the Revs. Something Happens are worth a mention I can't think of any other Irish Bands I suppose the Pouges as well..

              Think it would be easier to have a worst Irish band topic, that sh1t Louie Walsh has produced

                As far as I know, he's got Irish blood. And an English heart.

                In no particular order, my top 3:

                Blades
                Whipping Boy
                My Bloody Valentine
                Ceci n'est pas une signature

                      Boom Boom..... Think all the Smiths were 2G.

                      My top 3 would be U2, The Undertones, Thin Lizzy.

                      I'd concur with James that Heartworm is one of the top Irish albums of all time.
                      If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.

                            Seconded Peadar. Given that the answer's so blindingly obvious, I'm surprised there's even a debate on this one.

                              Blood boiling. Hatred inciting pr*cks with their unashamedly poxy heads singing about an idealism that could never exist if the sort of people they are were truly representative of Irish people
