Speedway(i think they were called that) were shite.
Harry was abysmal. She covered some 80s song. It was used in an advert. Her label spent a fortune trying to promote her to the Kerrang crowd. They failed :)

Hmm.
Maybe she was right along, about everything. Even Van Morrison. Even Tom Petty.
Nah.

I'm going to make a risky assertion that Snow Patrol is the responsibility of both Ireland and Scotland. Bastard offspring of the two. Other than that does Scotland have nice sectarian hatred bands? Like The Wolfe Tones? Does Scotland have hit songs about claiming Rockall as a matter of national pride?
Also.. Joe Dolan and the beloved Showbands.

And noone has even mentioned Runrig yet. But they geta free pass for "Dance Call America" which is ace. (i know all their late 80s/early 90s stuff as my dad liked them for a spell)Actually that live album wasn't that bad to be honest.
x-post Certain people I went to school with only wore celtic jersies.
That was my school(s) too. except the teachers banned celtic colours(rangers too but there was about 2 rangers supporters that i knew of)

They didn't like my camera.
Irish trad's better than Scottish. There's a bald statement I won't be single defense for...

I only said it to get a response. I posted my Pogues diss as a means of expressing my displeasure at my initial (well, initial recent) Pogues experience, and knew that I'd get a right load of people suggesting new and enhanced ways of 'getting' them. Please, don't take it personally. The fact that I chose this thread was purely due to the coincidental fact that I found it now, just after that experience. I do not and never will mean to propose that the Pogues are amongst the worst groups from Ireland.

Listen to and watch the Chicken Talk video. And weep.
― Major Alfonso (Major Alfonso), Monday, 4 September 2006 23:39 (eighteen years ago) link
anyway Brendan Shine, Foster & Allen... you're making me cry...
My dad has all that shite. Though I havent heard him play it in a long time(apart from Foster & Allen, he does buy them) But in the 80s my 2 grans loved it too. So it was inescapable. None of them had irish blood though. My mums dad was from NI and she was the one who didnt like it much hehe. Tho i think she did like brendan shine. At least his songs had some life in them. Daniel O ARGH.
I should go and look through their old lps for some horrible irish and scottish stuff. But I wont. Loads of irish folk compilations "as advertised on tv" and dodgy country and western. and of courses My mums fave, wales's own Shirley Bassey.
I will say one thing though. The Fureys version of "Green Fields Of France" is one of the best songs ever.

And anyway, Ireland will have a hard time competing against The Proclaimers.

Christ.
Regarding the debate: B*withched, Boyzone, Westlife, Louis Walsh in General, The Thrills, The Frames, our attempts at hip hop in general, U2, Snow Patrol, The Revs, that gobshite who did the Maniac on the dancefloor remix etc etc etc. I'm sorry, so very sorry.
That said: Belle and Sebastian. Not much to redress the balance but it's a start.
