Comment:

As big as they've come, U2 has built a legacy — the vastness of their sound, the integrity of their message, the connection with their fans — that's not just being assessed; if the artists on this playlist are any indication, it's still being [i]amassed[/i]. Like their Irish counterparts, Radiohead is a constantly moving target; after a brief trek into techno, they rediscovered their rock roots — while peppering the sonic landscape with otherworldly relics — on "There, There." Sadly, most people in America know the Frames' Glen Hansard only as an actor, either from [i]The Commitments[/i] or [i]Once[/i], but in Ireland his band is about as massive as you can get without [i]being[/i] U2. On their iTunes exclusive "No More I Love Yous," Hansard lurches from a scream to a whisper, spiking his bloodied heart on the mic stand. And Chris Martin launches his vapor-trail voice high into the stratosphere over this millennium's most memorable piano riff in "Clocks," earning Coldplay the 2004 Record of the Year GRAMMY® in the process. But don't stop there: from the Manic Street Preachers to Oasis, from the Verve to the Tragically Hip, no matter what their passport says, your favorite artists have a little Irish in 'em.
