Technicalities, I know.
I aint voting in no TodayFM poll as I'm sure they'll give it to some U2 song. probably one of their mopier ones ...'One' most likely. y'wanna hear a real song called 'One' -check out Metallicas (written 5 years before U2s) tune of the same name ...now that's a piece of rocknroll.Quote:

Ray Houghtons not Irish but I dont see anyone else clamouring to have that 1-0 stricken from the history books
:p
I'll continue to split the Microdisney support and go for Begging Bowl.

There's too many brilliant tracks that even the greats are forgettable.

Great bit o song-writing.
Ok, I was trying to over-emphasise for effect. My humblest apologies to both yourself and wws.Quote:

As for my choice, I could give a different answer to that question every day.
Yesterday it was MBV - Sometimes.
I am reliably informed that his passport says he is Irish!... Are you calling the Department of Foreign Affairs liars? :DQuote:

To me the best Irish single of all time, but then again some crappy sentimental Bono/U2, Boyzone or Westlife trip will get it.
Whats the bet Daniel O'Donnell or Joe Dolan will be in the running. :eek:
P.S. I forgot, Teenage Kicks - The Undertones :p
RIP John Peel.

How the Blades failed to break internationally is one of the great injustices of popular music. Which is why I like football more than music.... it rewards talent more than music does and is less susceptible to fashionable trends.Quote:

Teenage Kicks I love because even I can play the bar chords to that one on a guitar :p
Which reminds me....
My Perfect Cousin by The Undertones... best Irish song to namecheck Subbuteo ever... :ball:
