not looking for traditional irish music so much as alternative/indie bands that happen to be from ireland or northern ireland.

so far all i've got is:

my bloody valentine
snow patrol
the pogues
therapy?
stiff little fingers
the undertones
the divine comedy
the cranberries
the virgin prunes

suggestions…anyone….anyone?

Take your top 20 artists. For each of these artists, collect the top 5 similar artists. The resulting number of unique artists is your eclectic score. If the score is small (extreme = 5) your musical preferences are very limited, and if it is large (larger than 80, extreme = 100), then you have an eclectic musical preference. You can compute your own score at http://anthony.liekens.net/pub/scripts/last.fm/eclectic.php

My eclectic score is currently

78/100

The 78 related artists for my profile are Arab Strap, Arctic Monkeys, Be Your Own Pet, Beck (3), Belle and Sebastian, Broken Social Scene, Cat Power, Catherine…
