Tom Dunne's Music & Me: My favourite Irish albums of all time
Picking your ‘best ever Irish album’ is a fool's game. Within minutes someone called @wazzupXXX will tweet ‘Yo Boomer’ at you and name a band that formed this morning in Brisbane. Try to question this and you’ll be trending by five and cancelled by dawn. Even if you later discover @wazzupXXX is in the band the damage is done. You are no longer in your family photos.
This is why ‘best ever Irish album’ lists should only ever be assembled at 3 AM, with drink taken and in someone’s flat. The person you are trying to convince should be a best mate or a future partner. By dawn, they should agree with you or leave. Loved ones have no place in your life until they know where you stand on music.
