The Irish Times recently listed the “top 50 Irish albums of all time.” Here are 50 bands/artists who didn’t make the list!

Last weekend, the Irish Times published, in The Ticket, a list of what it said were the best 50 Irish albums of all time.

I suppose I should start at the end by telling you that the best Irish album of all time is Girl Band – The Talkies. Yes. I know. Good album but…

Anyway, I read their list and sat down to think of a few names that weren’t on it.

Like these… (In no particular order.)
