    In all fairness, a list like this isn't just out to cater for your own personal music taste. What's essential listening for some is painful for others. It's called diversity!

    Well, I could be wrong, but I believe diversity is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era :D

    Surprised we got to 101 without mentioning this!

    Nope he's safe.

    Also i love how albums on the cover of the book never made it into this thread.

    Some truly shocking picks!

    As I said about 15 posts back, this is just a list of 101 (now more) Irish albums, not 101 essential ones, 30 would have a more realistic number. My hat remains uneaten, I'll be wearing it to a festival or two this summer :D

    Not wanting to start an argument but I wouldn't put The Pogues in here . Theres obviously a huge Irish influence but originated in London with English born and bred members mostly.

    If we count the Pogues can we count Aphex Twin?

    Dunno why I said 'pfft...' in my post, I just likes me a good spectacle of hat-eating.

    Trawling through that list I can see what you mean, obviously some crackers in there but a few duds also.

    got this as a gift the other day and was having a glance through it...
    some absolute gems in there (well for me anyway).
    And something we should all be proud of as a nation.

    One thing I did notice is the perceived lack of modern dance\electronic music albums??
    Not sure if this was simply the authors preffered taste, but I defintely think there should have been more to add balance.

    examples off hand...

    Japanese Popstars - Controlling Your Allegiance
    Kormac - WordPlay
    David Holmes - Let's get Killed

    I sort of feel like this is a list of ALL the Irish albums, rather than the best ones, but I'll give it a go:

    117. Relish - Wildflowers (at least the first 5 songs)

    MBV isn't really Irish though is it? Two of them were Irish... it was recorded in the UK... on a UK label... they were based in London... etc.

    The (****) corrs, the (pathetic) fight like apes & the (contrived) cast of cheers get a mention, but no Horslips or Republic of loose? Shame on you all. :mad:
