Would've gone for Damien Rice, but you're already reviewing O in April

So went for My Bloody Valentine, in particular Loveless!

Damian Rice for me. I never warmed to U2 for some reason? Even tho Mysterious Ways is a real fav of mine and u can't deny the back catalogue is v impressive. Also put on a proper live show.

They were formed in Scottish, but are considered to be Northern Irish, hence the home-coming gigs to Bangor a year or 2 ago

The Corrs minus Jim to look at but for music U2

Snow Patrol are a mix of Scottish and Northern Irish, so can go in either a best of Ireland(though are we considering Northern Ireland or is it just Eire) and Scotland

I'll go for Damien Rice
0 is a great album and he is an underated talent. Shame he has gone off the radar for the past 6 years though.

Voted Thin Lizzy, but my actual choice wasn't up there - modern rockers The Answer!

You left out The Undertones! And maybe one of the truly great Irish albums - 'The Undertones' eponymously named album from 1979. Shame!
