Post by: RGMike on March 16, 2015, 09:05:07 PM

Lessee, how many can I get:

Van Morrison
Rory Gallagher
Thin Lizzy
The Corrs
Mumford et al
The Waterboys
U2
Pogues
Sinead O'Connor
Boomtown Rats

I'm sure there are others; this was what I came up with off the top of my head.

Cranberries too.  Dunno if Dropkick Murphys count (technically American?)  but I'd welcome them with open arms.

Pre-set: Man, I am *sick* of this Imagine Dragons song. Another of those "let's write something that will be covered by the cast of Glee" numbers.

T'in Lizzy, don'cha know.  "Whiskey in the Jar"-O.  BOS1, always loved this; a Capital Gold fave (it was a UK Top Ten way back in '73 and I surely never heard it on NYC radio)

Sinead shows up -- another song she no longer does live?

A great choice to start the set -- and a bit more authentically Irish than The Boys Are Back In Town.

Oops, yes, good call! How did I forget them? And the DMs might be a good guess too, given their Boston roots and those of our esteemed hostess.

U2 too. "Gloria". Well, I guess a rarity from them was out-of-the-question.

What was the clip before Flogging Molly? The sobriety test one. Perhaps Craig Ferguson?

There's also Snow Patrol, although I would hope something besides "Chasing Cars" gets played.

Reception really crappy today, so I bailed.  BOS Thin Lizzy.  Only chance to beat that would be something really special from Van.

Switched to Pandora because of crappy reception, and the second song that comes up is "And It Stoned Me."

Digging the horny horns. (With the exception of the soprano solo, presumably played by Van. I've never been able to take his playing.)

Post by: urth on March 17, 2015, 10:40:18 AM
Rory Gallagher, "Country Mile"  Irish boogie. Another BOS candidate, although I think I'm leaning toward Horslips overall.

Sounds like the Irish version of Golden Earring. (Green Earring?)

Siff Little Fingers "Alternative Ulster".  So we got 4 repeat songs from last year and 4 other repeat artists with diff songs.  Sounds about par.

I'd always thought of them as Scottish. But they've been played on two other Irish-based 10@10s, so who knows...
