Saw that on usatoday.com of all places. With Horslips back on the scene I thought we might try our own list. I'll count it up in a week or two if there is any interest. (Any post with Daniel O'Donnell or similar will be presumed to be a wind up).

If you had the choice of seeing only 5 Irish Acts live before you die who would you choose?

Here is my list:

1. U2
2. The Pogues
3. Christy Moore
4. The Stunning/Walls
5. Paul Brady

there were strong rumours of Whipping Boy being on that line up which would have been a great addition to an already brilliant bill

1. Whipping Boy
2. God is an Astronaut
3. Fred
4. The Moondogs
5. My Brain is Fried trying to Think of Another and the Wailers

Irish or Irish music? If the Pogues are allowed are the likes of Irish-Americans allowed?

I heard this year's Pogues tour is the final farewell tour, is this true?

Is it not every year?

I've been to the Belfast concerts for the past 3 years and this is the first time I've heard it mentioned. Could be wrong, though.

I only heard it for the first time in the paper a few weeks back and been to a fair few of their Christmas concerts. All unbelievable.

I've seen Planxty/Christy Moore/W.Tones/Saw Docs so as for five I still haven't seen but hope to soon, I'd go with:

Damien Dempsey
U2
Kila
John Spillane
Either Sharon Shannon or Luka Bloom (toughie)

Irish Music by Americans... Dropkick Murphys

[caughtredhanded]

Hothouse Flowers...some great memories of them playing.
