Good Irish bands

I'd say the top are Rory Gallagher, The Pogues, Thin Lizzy, U2

Agreed

I do love the Dropkick Murphy's though I rather more appreciated their earlier albums. I think they were more edgy-actually punk. Their sound now has changed into something lighter.

Folk:

The Chieftains
The Dubliners
The High Kings
The Irish Descendants
The Irish Rovers

Punk:

The Tossers
Flogging Molly
The Dreadnoughts
The Young Dubliners
The Mahones
The Pogues
The Real McKenzies
Siobhan
Street Dogs (some Irish influence but more punk than Irish)

Most of these are traditional Irish folk or Celtic Punk. Hope it helps anyone wanting to get into either of them.

U2 have always been on another level.
