i counted 100

Where are the other 900?

After skimming that, I don't WANT to see the other 900.

I'm not commenting until I see birth certificates.

hyphens are wonderful things.

or dashes. you know what I mean.

yeah they are, but I copied and pasted. I figured that if people were that concerned they could click the link.

Yeah, I'm not trying to beat you up more over this. It just takes a second to figure it out in each case, but it's not skim-friendly.

Also, what the hell is #1?

There are some great albums on that list but for the most part it's EPIC FAIL.

No Pogues record in the Top 40 on a list of IRISH albums?

Then again, we're talking about a blog that listed Friday night's setlist from Journey's opening slot for Def Leppard.

I was thinking that there has to be a better 100 Irish albums



I nominate

Damien Dempsey
Glen Hansard

There are already two Frames albums on that list.

but not his solo work

There were some interesting picks that I really like--JJ72 and Paddy Casey.

But Bell X-1? And Fight Like Apes from last year in the top 25? That spells trouble.

You mean The Swell Season? That's on the list too at 84.

The Good:



The Bad:





nah, its not fixed. you still left "Best" in the title.

I'd love to actually find a good list like this as I love Irish music but there's too much awful and meh in there to have any interest in the things I don't know.

and Mary Black, and and and... this is an odd list for sure, but was worth the time to read it.
