or were irish anyway...
and as far as yr other bands origins:
Primal Scream... - Scottish
Manic Street Preachers - Welsh
Gorky's Zygotic Mynci - Welsh
The Beta Band - Scottish
The Scots are known for kicking MUCH ass... witness:
Arab Strap
The Delgados
Bis
Cocteau Twins
Jesus & Mary Chain
Belle & Sebastian
Mogwai
Looper (though i rate their second album as a piece of shit)
Ireland i'll give:
Scheer
The Pogues
The Glee Club (sue me, i liked 'em)
Therapy? (liked 'em up 'til '93... didn't hear much after that.. and if you can honestly claim that Caucasian
Psychosis (us comp of baby teeth and pleasure death EPs) isn't brilliant i don't want to call you a
friend)
why can't i remember any more irish bands?
England gets:
Stereolab
Broadcast
Pram (oh, god, yes...)
Prolapse
The Wedding Present
Pale Saints
Heavenly / Marine Research
Massive Attack
PJ Harvey
etc., more amazing english bands than you can shake the proverbial stick at...
best band in Europe i'd prolly rate Massive Attack... brilliant and utterly influential.
long live the UK music scene...
