Your favorite Irish music artists?

[Texas King]

You can make multiple choices.

 

I went with Thin Lizzy, Rory Gallagher and The Cranberries.

[Ancient Ways]

A lot of good stuff here but how can you beat Van Morrison?

[Segue Myles]

1. U2 (up to and including The Joshua Tree only)

2. The Corrs

3. The Cranberries

[Lucas]

In addition to Thin Lizzy and Gary, I'll add Stiff Little Fingers

[rocket ignites]

U2 and Thin Lizzy.

 

I like Zombie and Linger by the Cranberries.

[Entre_Perpetuo]

I like to think of Oasis as Irish because the Gallagher bothers' mother was Irish and because an Irish tour bus driver by the name of Danny (who's birthday was St. Patty's day and favorite song was Danny Boy) told me this fact on my trip to Ireland last year when he saw I had bought Oasis' Definitely Maybe at a rest stop. They'll always be Irish to me.

 

That said, I voted Thin Lizzy, U2, and Mr. Van Morrison. Classics.

[J2112YYZ]

No one.

 

I wasn't aware there were any Irish music artists until this thread was created.

Those are two of my favorite songs by the Pogues, the Christmas hit they had, is one of the best christmas songs too.

 

So bittersweet and romantic, Shane lived up to the sentiment in streams of whiskey.

[condemned2bfree]

Voted Thin Lizzy, also Morrissey, he has Irish parents, I think.

[Your_Lion]

Gary Moore, Thin Lizzy , Rory Gallagher, Taste

 

 

and the band from the movie The Commitments :D

[Hatchetaxe&saw]

A lot of good stuff here but how can you beat Van Morrison?

 

With a 9-iron.

 

I'm here all week.

 

Love Them & early Van. Astral Weeks & Moondance are nigh on perfect.

[Hatchetaxe&saw]

Horslips

Planxty

 

I voted for Lizzy, Rory, & Taste.

[Mithrandir]

Makem Brothers

The Answer

 

[Chicken hawk]

U2 first choice.

I like the others tho too.♥

[Babycat]

Thin Lizzy and U2

[Ancient Ways]

It's a little surprising that the corrs weren't surrounded by some songwriters and pushed a little harder than they were. The modern music scene is heavily dominated by image and the sisters were all easy on the eyes (especially Andrea) and I'm told that the women even fancied Jim. I'm sure it's a bit late at this point though.

They're an awful stain on my country's musical heritage. I wish their parents never met.
