3 best Irish bands

**sadloserkid** · 19/03/2003, 10:31 AM

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?

u talking about currently playing or ever
this is a toughy

**sadloserkid** · 19/03/2003, 10:38 AM

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.

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

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

Never repeated the highs of The Unforgetable Fire, The Joshue Tree and parts Achtung Baby and Bono is full of it, but a good solid band all the same.

Lot a U2 fans believe All That You Can't Leave Behind is better than The Joshua Tree.
I agree.
