The Top 100 Best Irish Albums
by 
Secondsoul 
Note that this chart contains artists from Northern Ireland(part of the UK)as well as the South. I've tried to space out my own personal favourites a little to add a bit more variety. If I had just listed my favourites, I probably would have put all four Into Paradise and all four Microdisney albums in the Top 20! Hopefully someone may discover a few decent albums on here. For such a small island we are never going to compete musically with the likes of The US or UK, but we still have a lot to offer!
