the sad thing about horslips is that they broke up RIGHT when they should have started making dubious new wave AOR records. there is always the last proper album to listen to though. cod Stiff genre.

The Man Who Built America is an AOR classic.
the first album is best though. and a big influence on other celt folk people to rock out.

I would say most people in Ireland only now know Horslips for "Dearg Doom", on account of the riff being reused in the deathless Jackie Charlton-era football anthem "Put Em Under Pressure":

The clip of them, looking sort of glammy and silly, playing that on the Old Grey Whistle Test is the only time I've ever heard Horslips.
