    plus ones to

    After All by the Frank and Walters
    Anything by the Pogues
    Town to Town by Microdisney; Singers Hampstead Home is great as well

    Somebody mentioned 'Haunted' by Shane McGowan/Sinead O'Connor. It's a wonderful track alright, here's the original - The Pogues with Cait O'Riordan singing. I LOVE her voice. Sexy as heck.

    As regards the Stunning - Brewing up a Storm was okay, but I always preferred 'Everything that Rises'; it's a really good 'Pop' song and the guitar sound on it (i'm pretty sure it's a classic Telecaster twang on it) rings my bell *everytime* i hear it.

    I think the song is on the A-Z of Irish Rock, and its a real blast from the past, but I'm Hardly Ever Wrong by the Would be Nots is a top song from a top band.

    Frank and Walters - Colours is probably the best conventional pop song ever written by an Irish band

    The Fat Lady Sings - Arclight deserves a mention.

    I'm a little surprised that no-one has mentioned these:

    Alison Moyet - Weak In The Presence Of Beauty
    [The] Corrs - The Right Time
    [The] Crannberries - Dreams
    Dermot Morgan - Get out of that Saddle, Stephen
    Kirsty MacColl - A New England
    Kirsty MacColl - Days

    Has she any songs of her own? I always think it's a bad sign when you're well known as a covers singer.
    Also is she def irish, i always thought she was from England.
