Good question ONeill,

The Jam
loads of 80's mod stuff including Purple Hearts, Lambrettas, Secret Affair
Sex Pistols
Loads of punk stuff
The Undertones
Horslips
Multiple trad sessions all over the country (willie clancy music school, AI Fleadhs etc)

None of that Oasis crap or D:Ream - pre 1991/2

This is a thread for unashamed declaration for pre-electronically altered music.

Wham! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hksil-KkebQ

I love a lot of rock from the 70's .Three bands that I think were really undereated are Free, Lynyrd Skynyrd and early zz Top.All 3 are known for big anthems that made it big , but had many more geat songs that remain largely undiscovred.

As for the 80's.......anything with a bit of cheese in it like....
