Great compilation of contemporary Irish rock
Posted by: David Quigley on 16 May 2002
I'm not a big compilation fan but just wanted to quietly rave about Tom Dunne's "30 Best Irish Hits". Its about as far from tweedly dum as you can get. Includes the predicable (Lynott, Christy, Sinead), the unusual (Mama's boys) and the lost through time (Aslan, The Blades, Something Happens). Tom Dunne was front man for Something Happens - which I have been raving about seperately. These days he hosts a great show on Today FM.
This compilation may be a bit hard to find in stores outside Ireland, but is available on the web. It has sold something like half a million copies inside the Republic.
If you are ever passing through Dublin airport, it is on prominant display in the CD stores there.
Just a thought for anyone interested in the genre.
