They are absolutely incredible live. Among the best gigs I've ever been to. But take ear plugs!!!They're Irish aren't they? I've paid £72 to see them in November to be fair, so I hope I don't regret it.
And yes, Kevin Shields is Irish.

Didn't know that! But y'know, they are Irish. Or at least surely the rest of them are. And they even have Dublin in their name.

If that makes Fontaines British, they are definitely in my list (which I haven’t shared).
That rule also makes Freddie Mercury Tanzanian, so those banging on about Queen need to button it.
Have to say, my favorite Turkish band has always been The Clash.

What am I missing here! Why the hate for the iconic Queen! Were they diehard Palace fans or something?! And what's with hipster Joy Division love, one good song they had
now I could think of at least 10 better Manchester bands.Pogue Mahone

Some people like Queen, some don’t.
Some people like Joy Division, some don’t.
It’s almost as if music taste is a subjective thing.
A tough call. I think the Small faces/faces would trump ther Jam, but then Jam/TSC/Weller would trump that . . .

I saw Jason Orange play a bongo once so does that qualify Take That?
Fontaines DC and Idles are equally brilliant
Always been my favourite band Always will be.

The Sacro Iliac by 10cc came into my head today and reminded me as a kid how good I thought Sheet Music and How Dare You were

And there really isn’t a third that you can bracket with those two legends but the closest would be Sam Fender (who I’d argue is a band given their consistent personnel line up over 3 albums)
