Ultimate Irish Playlist - Rte 1

trashcan

This just started now. Top 20 Irish songs ever. I’m not expecting much. No 20 Hothouse Flowers, so it’s already off to a dodgy start.

Songs which should be there - An Dearg Doom, Boys Are Back in Town, Downmarket, Town to Town.

Oh Jesus - Bewitched now. HHF, I take it all back !

Eamon Dunphy to sing it!

Man Vs ManUre

I think Oldtown will be no.1. It’s hard to pick the u2 song but I think it will be One, and it will make no.2. The cranberries zombie or dreams will be no.3 although linger is much better.

He could sing. I wouldn't be mad about that rendition, but to say he can barely sing is over-egging it just a bit!

And an American song.

This fella singing Nothing Compares is awful.

FFS this lad spent too long in the Billie Barrys

Its painful. I mean who would want to take that song on given the unreal covers out there - but he can barely sing!!! Whose nephew in RTE is he :)

Somewhere out there, Sinead is tearing up a photo of this over-emoting Westlife reject

YellowLead

That’s a bit sketchy, would we call it an Irish song? Sineads renedition is beautiful but it’s not really an Irish song, and we don’t even have her singing it here so…

HeidiHeidi

Who's this fella now??

This is a pure constipated performance.

Agree.

I dunno would Old Town beat The Boys are back in a vote. Close but one was an international hit. The other 43 or something in the Dutch charts.

Old Town was the subject of a documentary in 2018 and has grown in popularity over the years.

if I was an artist I’m not sure I’d want to make an appearance and be associated with this show tbf :)

It grew on me as it went on. I've heard her name before, not a lot of her stuff though - she has a great voice.

Yep. It's a pity they couldn't get hold of The Undertones to perform it though. They're still a touring band, though with Paul McLoone on lead vocals.

Certainly was ruined. That was a shocking version of the song.

Cumhachtach

Bewitched shouldn't be near that list.

Also if a Daniel O'Donnell song is there like Dance With You, it's a waste.

I heard that too, but not sure he would have gotten consensus there from the rest of the dj’s even before it went to public vote

With or Without You will surely be no. 1

Fanning said The Fly when the djs were choosing!

Glad teenage kicks made the cut.

I reckon so too. Or without or without you…

I think it will be Old Town too - I think that gets more airplay and that’s kind of what this is all about, the popular vote

Teenage Kicks Yay, About to be ruined though by the sounds of it.

I’d pick Old Town by Philo actually. Teenage Kicks should be top 3, but probably won’t be. Distinctly underwhelming list so far. Couple of them weren’t even songs for Gods sake.
