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 !

Brian Kennedy singing Brown Eyed Girl. Pep the fukkin thing up Brian for Chrissakes, it’s not a funeral dirge. One of only two Van songs that I think are any use. (Moon dance the other, obviously.

Did Christy Moore have an extended holiday in the Sahara🤭

Brian Kennedy looks shook around the eyes and very bloated.

That American lady’s renediton of ride on was pretty amazing.

But overall not expecting too much - if the votes were cast by 2fm listeners….

Having said that I’ll watch the whole thing still…

Take me to Church- Protestant young lad complaining about stuff that happened in the Catholic Church before he was born.

But decent song.

Cumhachtach · 31-10-2022 11:13pm

Something tells me the Wolfe Tones will be in there..oh lord.

Saw Doctors or Mary Coughlan next? Galway.

Can someone, anyone, explain why this Ruth Anne one keeps appearing on RTE programs? Is she an NK act? Have literally never seen/heard of her anywhere other than on RTE TV shows.

YellowLead · 31-10-2022 11:19pm

There better be a Thin Lizzy and a Rory Gallagher in there…

Cumhachtach · 31-10-2022 11:22pm

Westlife. Merited, if not everyone's preference.

Snow Patrol merited too.

Cumhachtach · 31-10-2022 11:23pm

Galway Girl. Top 50 maybe. Not 12 for me.

There will😊 Dave Fanning would pick them, here's hoping the public voted.

The Boys Are Back and Tattooed Lady.

Though debatable if The Boys is Lizzy's best.

He's been been ill with cancer for the last few years.

I'd say he'd take shook and bloated any day!

Cumhachtach · 31-10-2022 11:28pm

Brewing Up a Storm well merited.

Oh really. I didn't know. Wouldn't have posted that if knew.

Never heard of her before tonight.

But she did an alright rendition of Take Me To Church. Brilliant song.

Brewing Up a Storm - now we're suckin' diesel!!!

There probably will be a Thin Lizzy or Phil solo, but I wonder will there be a Rory - do people even know who he was these days?

Cumhachtach · 31-10-2022 11:32pm

The Four of Us-Mary could be on the list. Teenage Kicks-Undertones too.

A lot of the U35s wouldn't know unfortunately.

Cumhachtach · 31-10-2022 11:34pm

DOD has made it😳

Cumhachtach · 31-10-2022 11:40pm

A bit of a surprise but a song a lot of us grew up with. RIP Liam.

Cumhachtach · 31-10-2022 11:42pm

If I was guessing No.1 I'd go with The Boys are Back.

Please no Fields of Athenry in the top 5.

HeidiHeidi · 31-10-2022 11:44pm

This is very clunkily put together - I'm assuming none of it is live?

YellowLead · 31-10-2022 11:46pm

What U2 song do we think will be up there? There will obviously be one

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.

Cumhachtach · 31-10-2022 11:48pm

Brooke Scallions as my 10 year old niece calls her!

trashcan · 31-10-2022 11:48pm

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

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

YellowLead · 31-10-2022 11:49pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119817442#Comment_119817442

I reckon so too. Or without or without you…

YellowLead · 31-10-2022 11:49pm

Glad teenage kicks made the cut.

Fanning said The Fly when the djs were choosing!
