    As well as Shanes utterly kicked little sister doing a mean line in sub blazing squad high pitch low brow knack rap in the afformentioned Buffalo G -there was also an equally kicked but much, much, much older sister in a failed "girl"* band who's name avoids me.

    * the four "girls" involved had a combined age of about 135-140.

    Glad to see I'm not the only Doc's fan on the forum

    Obviously all the boy/girl band thing is crap, but Paddy Casey and Damien Dempsey are awful too.

    Did anyone see the time they were on Adam and Joe. They just let them play the musical intro into the song and cut them off.

    No Dad I consider myself quite sane. I remember going to see U2 in Cork City Hall in 81 or 82, support the same night was an atrocious Cork hardcore band The Unknown Wrecks and even they were better than U2 and their pompous,overblown codology. You have OTT down as your worst, you may be right, but I couldn't possibly comment as all I know absolutely nothing about them. On another note surely Virgin Prunes and their arty, "aren't we completely mad" rubbish should be on worst band list.

    Worst ever Irish band?

    Here is the key to finding the answer to this question....
    If they were not Irish would the media here say they are sh1t?
    And that applies to some of the bands listed here so far.

    As regards the most overrated band of all time I nominate the Hothouse Flowers... because they were so hyped around 1986 and 1987 that not even the Beatles could have lived up to that. To be fair they were not completely crap but nowhere near as good as they were made out to be.

    Their best album was produced by David A Stewart of the Eurthymics and was largely ignored by the Great unwashed Irish public. Cannot remember the title now come to think of it!

    There are many bands hailed for these shores that have come on stage, redefined the definition of tragic and faded away. To those, I say thank you, because be it down to commercial failure or the self realisation that were muck, they left us never to reappear. Some bands never got the hint. I'd say the following:

    The Revs - Donegal lads that for a period of time around 2000 I think seemed to appear everywhere. I saw them in Tower for the first time, and got an album for free. I subsquently lost it in the bin.

    Bands like The Hothouse flowers are not the worst band ever. They are bands that suffered from single exposure and never produced the radio hits to back their success up. (Don't Go)

    I hate Aslan. I hate Aslan for who they attract, for the fact their album seems to reappear more times than Tracy Chapman and that I just don't care about whether they can blast the roof off the Hartstown Inn. I know a coverband in Galway that would be better, but I don't go claiming they are superstars!!

    Boy bands, girlbands, novelty bands I will not waste time listing.

    I do not knwo HOW someone can say Whipping Boy are the worst band ever and no one to say they are mad. Whipping Boy Heartworm is a superb album. Have you got the album, why do you say they are the worst Irish band?

    On the U2 question, I don't like them for their albums are substandard in my opinion. They had great albums (which are overplayed to death) but I could forget them the last 10 years or so.

    Heh heh, brings back bad memories... anyone remember the name of the girl band in the mid nineties that Liz Bonnin was part of? dont think they even released a single, they just took space in newspapers most days... now they were nice!

    so although i agree with you they are ****e, i appreciate them.
    That is fair enough I guess. I agree that all bands that keep to their roots have to be admired for that. I still don't like their music and I think their singer is a bit of a ponce though!

    it was to be an OTT or Six type band, all between those two I can't quite decide. Probably OTT since I feel bad for terrorising the Cork girl from Six with my mates on a drunken night in Cork one night
