Another brilliant guitarist and a nice anti war song https://youtu.be/Nt06PFWkJ1I Thin Lizzy - The boys are back in town. Even Metallica covered them https://youtu.be/quyB8PMTD3o Therapy? - Nowhere. Punk/metal crossover. Became famous for being mixed religion which was taboo at the time. Also opened for Metallica https://youtu.be/5Bcpj-q0Snc Cranberries - Zombie. Deep lyrics you can only understand if you grew up in the occupied part of Ireland. https://youtu.be/6Ejga4kJUts U2 - I still haven’t found what I’m looking for. Song about trying to find god. I don’t get all the hate bono receives. https://youtu.be/e3-5YC_oHjE In the more folk side we have, The Pogues - Dirty old town https://youtu.be/s11BuatTuXk Christy Moore - Ride On https://youtu.be/8J-X0TBZ0sM The Dubliners - Rocky road to dublin https://youtu.be/C1W8KKPmlm4 Then there’s a whole other subset of traditional folk music where they praise the IRA The Wolfe Tones - Come out you Black and Tans.

treks Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Apart from some world-class opera singers, this country has never produced music or musicians that are worth a damn. Now If I were British, it would be a different matter... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Graceland album by Paul Simon ? 1 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always believed music is a bridge to connect people and i regularly talk to my colleagues at work to try to find out what they were listening too when they were young and how this affected them. For example i was recently introduced to Aamir Zaki and i love it So in short; which bands or songs from your home-country would you like to introduce to us ? For me being Belgian: * TechnoTronic: Pump Up The Jam. Became a worldwide hit in 1988 * Two Man Sound: Disco Samba. Impossible to believe this was made by a Belgian. @Javier M you might know this song... * Confetti's : The Sound of C. During the New Beat period of 1988 (remember the smiley's) these guys made it big. * Deus: Suds and Soda: Best Belgian Alternative Band. * Toots Thielemans: Bluesette: Legendary Harmonica player. you cant forget the biggest band of Belgium that filled my youth Front 242!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
