CLUAS Polls

The CLUAS reader and writer polls have been an opportunity to share a bit of worthy recognition. It's goes a lot furhter than end of year polls,. Check out results of our "Top 50 Irish albums of all time" and "Best of the 90s" polls...

CLUAS Opinion

From 2004 to 2006 we hosted an Opinion section where we published - dare we say it? - a number of insightful opinion articles written by CLUAS writers. Topics covered varied from the serious (the role of rock in politics) to the quasi-ridiculous (the abuse of Roland synths down your local). This section has since been wound down, its role having been basically taken over by the CLUAS music blogs. Links to all our original opinion articles are below.
