    Might not be popular but its gotta be Glen Hansard for me. His gig at Vicar street was superb! Love the fact that he loves being on stage and gives such a great performance.
    Little Green Cars are up there for me as well.

    Rory Gallagher, without a doubt. Gary Moore takes second place, with Phil Lynott close in third.

    Were U2 supposed to have a new album release a few months ago or has it been and gone?

    All told a pretty mediocre selection. David Holmes "better" than any of those mentioned

    Let me guess; you didn't know who David Holmes was, checked Wikipedia, saw the word DJ then ran back here to get your 'smart' reply in before reading the rest of the article.
