Man I loved them Waterboys! They were more spiritual and a bit darker than U2, a band they often got compared to. A Pagan Place was my favorite album when it came out. "Church Not Made With Hands" and several other tracks from it still sound quite good.
Of their later songs, "And A Bang On The Ear" was great fun. The heavy influence of Irish/ folk music and rock was unique.
Along with Big Country, The Chameleons and others, The Waterboys never rose to the popular heights I thought they could ascend to.
