Mick Flannery has got a brilliant voice. Only know a couple of his songs but WHATTA VOICE! :)

Love the point in Who's gonna ride your wild horses just as the chorus comes in. Pity Bono went and got his God complex :S Great songwriter, shame about the man :D lol

Well all those songs are good you have forgotten a few bands like Thin Lizzy. Boomtown Rats, Mamas Boys, Stiff Little Fingers, the early U2, Christy Moore, BellX1, here is my favourite song sung by an Irish legend

Can think of a few more like The Stunning (later, The Walls),and Ash, but this has to be my favourite song (not just Irish) of all time.

Always wondered how this one didn't make it beyond the Newry by pass.

I just had a thought there at this late hour but all those songs were from men, are there any irish women singers that anyone likes?
