List of songs recorded by My Bloody Valentine My Bloody Valentine, an alternative rock band from Dublin, Ireland, have recorded songs for three studio albums and a number of extended plays, singles and compilation releases. Formed in 1983 by Kevin Shields, Colm Ó Cíosóig and David Conway, the band had a series of unsuccessful releases throughout the mid-1980s on various independent record labels. In 1987, after the addition of bassist Debbie Googe and vocalist-guitarist Bilinda Butcher, My Bloody Valentine released "Strawberry Wine", "Ecstasy", and the 1988 EP "You Made Me Realise", which were predecessors to the band's debut album "Isn't Anything" (1988). Considered an independent success, the band released two further EPs before "Loveless" (1991), their second studio album; which is considered their "magnum opus" and which received unanimous critical acclaim since its release. Both albums pioneered an alternative rock subgenre known as shoegazing, a term coined by "Sounds" journalists to describe certain bands' "motionless performing style, where they stood on stage and stared at the floor". My Bloody Valentine disbanded in 1997 after failing to utilise a third album although Kevin Shields was rumoured to have sent 60 hours worth of material to Island Records, with whom the band signed after being dropped by Creation Records in 1991. My Bloody Valentine reunited in 2007 and began completing their third album. The album, "m b v", was self-released in 2013 and received "universal acclaim", according to Metacritic.

The Dubliners The Dubliners were an Irish folk band founded in Dublin in 1962. The band started off as "The Ronnie Drew Ballad Group", named in honour of its founding member; they subsequently renamed themselves as The Dubliners. The group line-up saw many changes over their fifty-year career. However, the group's success was centred on lead singers Luke Kelly and Ronnie Drew. The band garnered international success with their lively Irish folk songs, traditional street ballads and instrumentals. The band were regulars on the folk scenes in both Dublin and London in the early 1960s, and were signed to the Major Minor label in 1965 after backing from Dominic Behan. They went on to receive extensive airplay on Radio Caroline, and eventually appeared on "Top of the Pops" in 1967 with hits "Seven Drunken Nights" (which sold over 250,000 copies in the UK) and "The Black Velvet Band". Often performing political songs considered controversial at the time, they drew criticism from some folk purists and Ireland’s national broadcaster RTÉ had placed an unofficial ban on their music from 1967–71. During this time the band's popularity began to spread across mainland Europe and they appeared on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in the United States. The group's success remained steady right through the 1970s and a number of collaborations with The Pogues in 1987 saw them enter the UK Singles Chart on another two occasions.

Buffalo (band) Buffalo was an Australian rock band formed in August 1971 by founding mainstay Dave Tice on lead vocals (ex-Head). Fellow founders, also from Head, were Paul Balbi on drums, John Baxter on guitar, and Peter Wells on bass guitar; together with Alan Milano on lead vocals (ex-Mandala). Milano left after their debut album, "Dead Forever..." (June 1972), and Balbi was replaced on drums by Jimmy Economou. Their next two albums, "Volcanic Rock" (July 1973) and "Only Want You For Your Body" (June 1974), were also issued by Vertigo Records. After 1975 line-up changes resulted in a more commercial sound and the group disbanded in March 1977. Australian musicologist Ian McFarlane noted that there was "nothing subtle about Buffalo's primal, heavyweight sound, but it was delivered with a great deal of conviction ... combining the dense, occult riffing ... with the progressive blues chops ... the band certainly captured the arrogant disposition of the times in a bold and thunderous fashion". Alongside Billy Thorpe & The Aztecs and Blackfeather, Buffalo pioneered Australia's heavy metal, pub rock and alternative rock movements. Peter Wells died on 27 March 2006, aged 58.

Big Self Big Self are a Northern Irish rock band who formed in 1980. Their lineup consisted of Bernard Tohill on guitars and vocals, Jim Nicholl on guitars, Pat Mo on bass and vocals and Michael Morris on drums. During the early to mid-late 80's the band were highly praised especially in the UK. However, the band's commercial success never matched their critical success, and they disbanded in 1986. During their career they played at several noted events including Self Aid and recorded BBC sessions for John Peel and Kid Jensen. Their single Ghostshirts was featured as the theme song to Dave Fanning's RTÉ TV show Visual Eyes that aimed to present an entertaining and informative behind the scenes look at the world of popular culture. In 1983, they moved to London hoping to improve their prospects of success, returning to Ireland in the winter of '83/'84 to record their debut album, Stateless, with Richard Mainwaring producing. The first single from the album, Ghostshirts, was critically acclaimed by all the leading music press, including NME, Melody Maker and Sounds; but the 18-month delay in releasing their album didn't help. The line-up expanded to a six-piece with the addition of Owen Howell (previously drummer with Belfast band Stage B) on percussion, but then drummer Michael Morris returned to live in Belfast, and soon after saxophonist Gordy Blair left to join Australian band Dave Graney and the Rattlesnakes. Big Self's final gig was as a four-piece at the Irish concert Self Aid, where they shared the stage with U2 and Van Morrison, Elvis Costello, and the Pogues.
