There is a lot of great music out there, but some is bound to stand out. These are the bands that have made the most impact on my life and are, in my humble opinion, the greatest.
Seven Nations actually hails from America and Canada, but all the members are of Scottish or Irish decent. They are a truly amazing band-- so much so that I felt the need to make a page dedicated soley to them. The page includes pictures of taken of them in recent concerts, and other random things I felt the need to include. There is so much to say about this band-- check it out!
From Dublin, Ireland, U2 is an amazing band. They have for a long time been an enormous inspiration to me. They've been around longer than I have, but their music remains a source of awe, and they have such great variety within it. Heavy to haunting, it's amazing.
Hailing from Scotland, Runrig is not widely known in America, and that's too bad. They are wonderful, and also have been around as long as me. Their albums can be ordered from most music stores. It's worth it, trust me. They are distinctly Scottish, but uniquely wonderful.
The Pogues are an Irish group, "traditional Irish rock", if such a thing were to exist, would be how I would describe them. Their music's not for kids, but definitely worth a listen.
The Dropkick Murphys are a hardcore American/Irish punk rock band, and they really do rock, Irish style.
Sebadoh is a great band. They have a lot of variety, and it's good all around.
Jets To Brazil can make you cry, if you let it, with songs like Sweet Avenue and Sea Anemone. They're really good.
Built To Spill is able to put a lot of emotion in their music in a unique way, and it works really well.
Sunny Day Real Estate has a sort of haunting sound that really is beautifully tragic, and tragic beauty.
The Violent Femmes are a great band. Truly classic, and so much fun.
Pink Floyd is an amazing band. They conjure up emotions in a way one would not think possible. Their is truly genious behind their work.
