DiS does St. Patrick's - favourite tracks by Irish acts?

sean [Edit] [Delete] 73 replies 14:29 March 17th, 2011

This worked quite well on International Women's Day, so same question, different topic.

And has there been a better U2 cover than Saul Williams' surprising version of 'Sunday, Bloody Sunday'? Favourite track by The Frames (basically Ireland's answer to Elbow, ain't they?)?

Playlist, will add suggestions: http://open.spotify.com/user/seaninsound/playlist/5BR6FmdCsZ6wLv5XBTV6Kl

(here's the one Spotify did?! http://open.spotify.com/user/sonycmguk/playlist/1c7EyJ8Vrxf8QJ73hJwBbq )
