Rocking Irishmen!

[relientkrocker]

Who else besides me loves U2? I love their music, and that even though they are secular, they have spiritual lyrics in many of their songs. They rock! And Bono is a great role model with all of the work that he puts into helping AIDS victims in Africa, and using his fame and power for good things.

I love U2! And they actually started off more as a Christian band, at least that's what I've heard.

just to let you guys know, there are a few threads just on the first couple pages in this forum about u2.

i don't want to come across as a smart***, just look around before you post a new thread.

We could adapt the thread to talk about other rocking Irishmen and women like the Cranberries (or are they Scots? )

When I first clicked, I thought it was going to be a thread about Flogging Molly

they're ok i suppose... i'm sure getting sick of these U2 threads.. but that doesn't matter. people can talk about what they want... they're just not a band for me. i respect them though, and i love a few of their songs, they just don't amaze me as such...

[KristianJ]

Their sound is quite haunting in some of their songs, particularly Dolores' voice - so unique!!

Gary Moore and Paul Brady, my two favourite Irish musicians.

Hehe...I could change the username for 15000 blessings, but then I'd confuse everyone!! But yeah, I thought I might have a bit of a change, yet leave the "odes" (a veiled reference to the Cranberries' "Ode to my Family ) to my dearest Danie in their rightful place

 

[ChrisLockhart]

He's not exactly Irish, but I really like and appreciate Elvis Costello.
and also The Pogues!

 

[adams apple]

Shane MacGowan is messed up.

 

[traingosorry]

yeah I say we scrap the U2 part of this thread and change it to Rocking Irishwomen!!

I LOVE the Cranberries as well... but I was sort of disappointed by some of the lyrics in their last couple albums... not so inspiring, they tried to make everything rhyme and it sort of killed it for me - oh well at Least Dolores' voice and their music can make that easy to forget!!

Ummm....and another Irish woman I love is Sinead 'Connor...have always been a fan, always will be.
