The heck with all of them. Since I believe neither of us drink alcohol any more, it would have to be a cup of tea and a meal, but I'd like to share it with Pecker Dunne, the last of the travelling people as he calls himself. If the Pecker were not available, I'd like to have a meal with Big Tom.

Horslips and Gallagher...2 of the greatest bands of ANY nationality...but they were IRISH in the end.

Got to include Lizzy's "The Boys are Back in Town" in any list if Irish rock classics.

The Undertones! How could we forget them? "Teenage Kicks" was John Peel's all-time favorite song. A tip o' the hat to Stiff Little Fingers "Alternative Ulster" as well, and Ash "Girl from Mars." It's all coming back to me now. The Thrills "One Horse Town" - it's their only good song so far, but it's really good.

Very good list - thanks, Ms. Kelly. It caused me to check out some songs I wasn't familiar with, such as the wonderful Horslips tune. I wonder if the pipe solo inspired The Church's "Under the Milky Way," probably.

Growing up, one wall of my bedroom was covered with Lizzy pics and articles, Good to see Phil and the boys are back in the limelight (and town, for that matter).

My favorite Irish rock songs have long been "New Year's Day" by U2 from the Live at Red Rock album, and Rory Gallagher's fantastic "Moonchild".
