133 albums and no mention of the best Irish band ever. That's just taking the piss. The Stars of Heaven, people. Sacred Heart Hotel and Speak Slowly.

Lets be honest here, in the grand scheme of things there have not been many "great" Irish albums. Great implies relatively great in a particular genre, the whole album being great not just a few songs, and then you can start ranking them. Based on that I would say anyone who doesn't place Astral Weeks first and then have a large gap to second hasn't actually listened to Astral Weeks. It is a timeless work that will be marveled at by our descendents like we do with Mozart. After that you have to ignore Van because he could easily fill 1 through 5. So, dropping down a few rungs of nothing you get to Loveless, a sublime achievement. I don't know after that, maybe The Lion and the Cobra and Moving Hearts debut.. but anyone mentioning The Script needs to be taken outside for a long chat (I almost said U2 but thought better of it).

Paranoid Mandroid

134. Hal - Hal

IMO a fantastic album.

Said it before and I'll say it again.
