    No paricualr order, coz it's tough to think of good bands from IReland. They're all the same shit acoustic crap-rock.

    Thin Lizzy
    Republic of Loose
    Rory Gallagher
    The Undertones
    U2 I suppose.
    I'll Ride The Wave Where It Takes Me

    This probably ain't your style, but my wife got me liking Mana years ago. I saw them live here in Houston a few years ago.

    Hehehe, yeah, definitely not my style :P
    Check some of the bands I listed, if you sometimes think Mana is too mellow. They are great rock bands.

    I think this is the first time an Irishman has mentioned the Pogues. That surprised me. The Pogues are the greatest. I'd kill to see them live.

    my, my yall have had some of the very best.

    Overall, the US still owns rock music though, but its only natural since we have so many people

    Pearl Jam
    Sound Garden
    RHCP
    Alice in Chains
    Tom Petty

    Those are mine and manage to top all the Van Halen, Doors, Areosmith, Korn, Mettalica and endless american rock favorites.

    BTW, Canada sure does suck musically.

    Wow, this is hard. Not a whole lot of great bands for my taste in Finland since I'm not a big fan of the biggest exports like HIM, Nightwish,Children of Bodom, Stratovarius etc. so in order to get 5 i need to include a few that are just ok. Put youtube-links too, since i'm sure just the names wouldn't mean a thing to anyone here.

    1. Kingston Wall
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxXCO0ZSZco

    Ok, and from here on it gets more difficult :D
    2.Amorphis
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE48yblrfJg
    3. Disco Ensemble
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKU8yu9O5BY
    4.Eläkeläiset
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrvAUTsMd_s
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6v2365Z6Ql0
    5.Mannhai
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgvlgjEp4Uo

    Edit: well fuck me in the brain i forgot Eläkeläiset, the best live band ever
  • 88keys88keys Posts: 151
    Pearl Jam
    The Doors

    Van Halen
    The Band (ok, I know that 4 out of 5 of the guys were from Canada. But Levon Helm is from the USA and they lived and recorded their first album in Woodstock, NY [Big Pink!]. So I think they count as an american band!)
