I can't believe Enya even gets mentioned. It's like listing Celine Dion for Canada.

Some great alternative Irish bands you may not have heard of:

Into Paradise
Blue In Heaven
Whipping Boy
The Frank & Walters
Microdisney
That Petrol Emotion

As far as Scottish bands go, my favourite 3 of all-time are Lowlife, Cocteau Twins and The Jesus & Mary Chain.

The Twilight Sad and Glasvegas are two very good Scottish bands that are around today!

I wouldn't call The Pogues Irish, but if they were they might be the best Irish band.

There's loads of great Irish artists around they just never seem to make it across to The UK here are a few suggestions to everyone looking to further delve into the Irish music scene.These are my favorite Irish bands from the last 5 or 6 years,not sure how popular they are outside of Ireland but they're definitely worth checking out.

Jape
Abedisi Shank
Lisa Hannigan
And So I Watch You From Afar
James Vincent McMorrow
Fight Like Apes
Cathey Davey
Mmoths
The Frames

Enjoy I'd recommend 'Ocean Of Frequency' by Jape if you're going to listen to one album by any of these,seen him live a couple of months ago and he was great in a OOF heavy set.[/list]

Taste (w/Rory Gallagher)
Thin Lizzy
Aphex Twin
The Pogues

Scotland has a better musical history, what with Alex Harvey, Orange Juice, Aztec Camera, Josef K, Haircut 100, The Fire Engines, The Associates, The Jesus & Mary Chain, Belle & Sebastian, Arab Strap, Cocteau Twins, Average White Band, Trashcan Sinatras etc.

my Bloody Valentine are Irish? I learned something today.

Overall, U2 but if you want really "Irish" music go with the Cheiftans

Snow Patrol (half Irish/half Scottish)
U2

I only own albums by these two 😄

Any welsh artists while we are at it? Stereophonics?
