Top 100 Best Irish Albums of All Time

Ronan over at Swear im not Paul has done a very brave thing and made a list of the Top 100 Best Irish Albums of All Time

Probably beat the Ticket too it by a week or so

The problem with lists like this is people focus too much on whats not on it instead of what is on it and should be celebrated. Im gonna take this opportunity to check out those albums on it that ive been meaning to get round to but has taken a great list like this to remind me

Thanks Ronan - but wheres Ritual? :)

Grizzly Bear

Grizzly Bears new album Veckatimest has really grow on me over the last few weeks. Its so infectious

The stand out tracks in my opinion would 'Two Weeks' and 'While You Wait for the Others'

Sublime!

Theres a killer mashup of Two Weeks and Dead Prez goin round aswell. Class

Chinese Translation

Great song, even better video

Moby - Pale Horses

Spotted this over on Tims TenaciousT blog and really liking it.



Mobys new album 'Wait or Me' will b out June 30th and if Pale Horses is a fair representation of it he could be back to his best

Florence and the Machine

Florence and the Machines debut album Lungs looks like its gonna be a cracker. Released in july, if the promos anything to go by it could be one of the albums of the year.

Absolutely loving Cosmic Love (from the o2 ad) which, if i didnt know better, i would have thought was Marina and the Diamonds who im also a big fan of

DJ Shadow/DJ Hero

Forget Guitar Hero - here comes DJ Hero!

This sounds very interesting and with DJ Shadow on board from the beginning giving his advice and input it should be pretty cool.

He's even given permission for his image/likeness and some of his tracks to be used in the game.

Theres a really good interview with the man himself here

Super Extra Bonus Party

Super Extra Bonus Party kicked ass last night in the Roisin Dubh in Galway - Cant wait to have a good listen to their new Nighthorses album

Burial/Fourtet 12"

Favourite release of the year so far - its ace!
