Sugar! That's is what Americans put in Soda Bread that changes the taste. It is downright awful.

great for blowout souls while blowins descend in drtoves

Chuck berry, the Ramones, The Righteous Brothers, Roy Orbison, Aerosmith, The Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Cream, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams, Hank Williams Junior, Patsy Cline, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Blondie, J Giels Band, South Side Johnny, Steely Dan, Nervous Eaters, Blue oyster Cult, The Outlaws, to name a few American bands, but Ireland does have one direction star Niall and there is always The Little Green Cars a nice up and coming Band from Dublin, but what do I know I'm just an American.

Since you asked, I'd rTher share a beer with Springsteen. Bono can be a bit of a dick.

Ah, but the United States are catching up with Ireland,....as far a people out of work, and young people with no prospect for a future.

Let's not forget The Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem if we're talking about Irish music. If you grew up Irish-American in New York during the 1960's, they were the center of the known universe.

As we're on the topic of best Irish exports, when it comes to legends, why omit the sadly missed Gary Moore Belfast born , part of Thin Lizzy with P. Lynnott. His music,songs of course denied to 2 generations of Irish because there seems to be a broadcasting ban, prohibition on playing his tracks. A cultural amnesia of him exists not only in Dublin, but his native Belfast! But no matter where you go in Europe, he is Very acclaimed!
