The 90s witnessed The Saw Doctors emerge as the most successful Irish rock band since U2. The Washington Post referred to the Saw Doctors as "one of the world's most appealing roots-rock outfits." The Saw Doctors had their initial success with their second single, I Useta Love Her, which became the biggest-selling single in Irish history and spent nine weeks at the top of the Irish charts. Following its success, the Saw Doctors' first single, N17, too became a number one hit. The Saw Doctors' debut album, If This Is Rock and Roll, I Want My Old Job Back, released in 1991, also reached the top slot on the Irish charts. Same Oul' Town, the Saw Doctors' third album, was released in 1996 and fared well reaching number six on the British charts.
