    My personal choice would be Loft Holdings Wood by Microdisney.

    Technicalities, I know.

    Not Irish though -so i'll split my vote four ways between Phil Lynotts 'Old Town', Andy White's 'Religious Persuasion', The Golden Hordes '100 Boys' and Microdisneys 'Town To Town'.

    I'll continue to split the Microdisney support and go for Begging Bowl.

    By 'anyone else' are you saying that I am?

    Fair enough, Brendan Boyer and the royal showband released the song, I'll give you that much.
    It was still at least Thirty Five years ago

    (a) Eh Brendan Bowyer is from Waterford boy, the song was written by Yanks!
    (b) Correctumundo


    WITH OR WITHOUT YOU by U2... hard to argue with a U.S. #1 on the Billboard Charts !

    There's too many brilliant tracks that even the greats are forgettable.
    For eg. Heard Mary while ago on the bus home.
    Great bit o song-writing.
    City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

    O'Bama - "Eerah yeah, I'd say we can alright!"

    G.O'Mahoney Trapattoni'll sort ém out!!

    Ok, I was trying to over-emphasise for effect. My humblest apologies to both yourself and wws.
    Still about 40 years old though.

    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?

    Always remember only 2 kinds of people in the world ; 1) The Irish 2) those who wish they were

    Would "Rainy Night in Soho" count as an Irish song?

    Ghost of a Chance by The Blades.

    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.

    P.S. I forgot, Teenage Kicks - The Undertones

    RIP John Peel.
