Which bands exactly are we talking about?  I'm not sure I've heard any of them (thankfully).  But I must say, if those bands suck, is it because they are playing Irish music or because they would suck no matter what they were playing?

there is a similar thread with bands like Uncle Tupelo. Let's take this folk/country music we like, and then put pop-punk guitar over it! We'll sing songs only about really stereotypical topics of that genre!

I'm assuming Uncle Tupelo are the Pogues of that genre.

I was very confused the first time I heard the actual music of the Pogues after years of hearing people talk about them. I didn't quite understand how they're different from the Irish groups that I heard in my long ago folkie days, as far as actual music as opposed to, like, the company they kept or the attitude they liked to project. But I figured that mentioning this would spoil the Pogues for other people, so I kept quiet.

That was my reaction as well.

I agree re: Dropkick Murphys and how The Pogues are better than everyone else who ever tried to do a thing. But Flogging Molly aren't that bad, are they?

Murphys used to be okay in small doses, but they are definitely harder to take in the era of Patriots/Red Sox/Bruins.

Pretty sure they're good people, though.

the best things about the dropkick murphys, AFAIC:

-their name is badass
-they did a cover of "who is who" by the adolescents(here) that is at least not terrible, if it isnt full-on good.

The best thing about dropkick murphys is that they do good things - volunteering for the cause, taking care of the downtrodden, etc. The worst thing is that when they aren't helping out, they're making music.

Buddy Holly covers album, streamed. No, no - don't shy away. There's some good shit there.

Sadly, I went to look up "It's So Easy" on the wiki to see who all had covered it, and the default result is the GnR song, not the Buddy Holly song. For that you have to go to the disambiguation page. Do not like.

I listened to Lou Reed's Peggy Sue the other day and thought it was terrible. I stopped there. I'll give the rest of it a shot.

Buddy Holly was one of my first musical obsessions as a young boy, so basically you don't fuck with Buddy Holly.

This is what it looks like when I do that. Sorry, Lou.

I haven't started it yet, but soon I will be listening to this podcast on Split Enz, and I am pretty well excited about it I can tell you.

I saw the Split Enz back around 1980 or so.

Is it better or worse for you that I wasn't really that into them and don't remember much about the show.

It's about as good as my other friend who saw the Clash around London Calling/Sandanista! because someone he was in school with wanted to go, and he just stood in the back against the wall thinking "these fuckers aren't Kraftwerk at all".

In other words, I can't measure it, but I can't even be happy for you.
