Would've gone for Damien Rice, but you're already reviewing O in April 
So went for My Bloody Valentine, in particular Loveless!

Damian Rice for me. I never warmed to U2 for some reason? Even tho Mysterious Ways is a real fav of mine 
and u can't deny the back catalogue is v impressive. Also put on a proper live show.

They were formed in Scottish, but are considered to be Northern Irish, hence the home-coming gigs to Bangor a year or 2 ago

thought so too. thought Gary Lightbody was NI but grouped up in Dundee but wiki says other wise
So where are Ruby Murray, The Bachelors, Them, The Boomtown Rats, Hothouse Flowers, Clodagh Rodgers, The Dubliners, The Clancy Brothers & Tommy Makem , The Nolans, Dana, Johnny Logan and Rory Gallagher?

they're from Bangor, Northern Ireland
The Corrs minus Jim to look at but for music U2
Snow Patrol are a mix of Scottish and Northern Irish, so can go in either a best of Ireland(though are we considering Northern Ireland or is it just Eire) and Scotland

I'll go for Damien Rice
0 is a great album and he is an underated talent. Shame he has gone off the radar for the past 6 years though.

I voted for The Script, but Snow Patrol, Damien Rice are great too. Also westlife have some good songs :P
You left out The Undertones! And maybe one of the truly great Irish albums - 'The Undertones' eponymously named album from 1979. Shame!
