    I only know of one 70s rock band from Ireland but they are amazing! This band called Fruupp - Anyone heard of em? I guess sorta like Genesis but really, they are very unique!

    Oh yeah, mellow candle is a folk rock band from Ireland, early/mid 70s.

    Anything else?

    I've never heard of any Irish classic rock bands, but if you find some more let me know. Sounds really cool!

    I wouldn't call the Pogues classic rock. They Pogues are more traditional folk song played with rock instruments on top of traditional instruments, with an unavoidable punk element thrown in as a result of Shane MacGowan being off his face the whole time.

    Bloody good band though!

    Thin Lizzy, yes. What about U2, Van Morrison with Them. Paul Brady great singer/songwriter.

    D'oh!

    How could I forget Van Morrisson!!! Haha. Yeah, early U2 is good too.

    My bad, its Fruupp. But still might not return anything. Try soulseek, thats where I got it.

    Celtic rock?

    Rory Gallagher
    Thin Lizzy
    Horslips
    The Undertones
    The Boomtown Rats
    Van Morrison
    There is a few for you. Some songs I would advise you to get are:

    Horslips - Dearg Doom
    Thin Lizzy - Whiskey in the jar
    Rory Gallagher - Bad Penny

    Those three are all fantastic. Rory Gallagher is an icon over here.
