Nice work. A shit lode of U2 and Van the Man.

Even though some of them are born in England and though the band has been formed in London, the Pogues should be considered as Irish too !

Thanks Daniel, nice overview!

Since I have Iranian neighbours and they are celebrating the Persian New Year today, here's all acclaiming music coming from there:

Albums
1. Leila - Like Weather (199 #1790

Songs
none

Let us not forget the Dropkick Murphys--American but trying really hard to be Irish (in a cartoony kinda way). Their music enhanced Scorsese's The Departed, and the other night made conversation impossible in the bar I went to on St. Pat's Day.
