hmmmmmmm, i've loved so many that it's hard to say. whipping boy-heartworm u2-achtung baby john hegarty-twilight this could change tomorrow. a house, prayerboat and damo dempsey should all get an honourable mention too.

babylon by bus - bob marley and the wailers the dirtchamber sessions - liam howlett paradise in the picturehouse - the stunning my mind would change everytime i think about it so this would this hours choice

oops just realisied u said irish albums so scratch that

Emmm... Van - Astral Weeks obviously! Lir - Nest Damo Dempsey - They dont teach this s**t... and Sinead - universal mother

Top 3 Irish albums,hhhmmmmm thats a chin-scratcher. At the moment I'd have to go with: 1. U2 'All That You.....' 2. Frames 'Dance the Devil' 3. Van 'Astral Weeks' Of course this will probably change tomorrow.....

Daemian Frost - Corpus Daemo The Warlords of Pez - Brendan Shine's greatest hits.

oh you.

Jebus, what is with Astral Weeks always showing up in these lists. A good album I grant you but vastly over rated to my mind. Is it just me or do other people find that virtually every record collection you flick through has a copy but it is very seldom played?

casual sex in the cineplex - the sultans of ping fc loveless - mbv small moments - david kitt trains boats and planes - the frank and walters thats four .. oh well

1.van morrisson - moondance 2.van morrisson - astral weeks 3.thin lizzy - live and dangerous

methinks whipping boy heartworm my bloody valentine loveless u2 war and i quite like the mumblin deaf ro, and settler ones at the mo..

I couldn't decide but ones I'm listening to at the moment are Kila, and Freddie White. Not to forget Rory Gallagher. Can't get hold of Heartworm at all in Dublin. Any clues?

1 Rory Gallagher Irish Tour 2 Thin Lizzy Live and Dangerous 3 Stiff Little Fingers Inflammable Material

Vent My Spleen, you must be a St. Dominic's Preview man, eh?

anyone heard elaine k's 'yeah really'

Jeremy - I'm not a hardcore Van fan although I rate him very highly. Most of the times I have seen him live he has been inspirational. However, I do think Astral Weeks is the musical equivalent of Ulysees - you can be guaranteed that most people who say they rate it have not listened to it all that much. Astral Weeks is a fascinating album given his age when released and the era (1968). However, I do believe that Van's work as a whole is impressive rather than any individual album, hence the incredible popularity of that compilation album (whose name escapes me at the moment).

Did any of you ever hear Revelino's first album...such a good record....'Happiness is mine' was a great song. I think Gemma Hayes' record was quite good...eh night on my side or something. And DirtP.......LOVE Sultans of Ping F.C..classic! So what are the worst ones...??

My best favourite ones'd be; RUM, SODOMY AND THE LASH- THE POGUES FOR THE BIRDS- THE FRAMES SWOON-PREFAB SPROUT any more quvestions?..no..gut. .
