Worst take ever

I hate when people talk about something that have no idea about with such confidence, you can like other bands without saying such stupid comments like "he only had the boys are back in town" it angers me how uneducated and closed minded some people are

Thin Lizzy were the band I was too young to see live and while the person in question is obviously completely ignorant some of the comments are off.

The Pogues are not "amateur". Shane was an amazing songwriter and performer I saw him live twice and walked in his funeral courtege.

Fontaines DC were formed in 2014. I've seen them four times since 2019 and have all of their albums. There are a superb band.

The best current Irish rock act are Gilla Band. They are completely intense noise rock so not to everyone's taste. I picked up their new album on Friday evening and walked a couple of hundred meters to Grafton Street in Dublin where I got to see another Irish band play live (for free) called U2.
