Didn't Irish Times include Aphex Twin in their best Irish artists ever list

Can we not claim The Smiths/Morrissey on the parentage rule? Christ even Be Here Now is better than some of the albums on that list.

no.

get the pogues off that list so

I'm curious though, is the average Phantom listener 30+? The list, as great as it is in parts, seems like something someone my age+ would compile.

i noticed that alright. Its an odd little bit of double standards. by the same logic i think we can have the beatles if we want them, but we dont claim them as irish. sex pistols too, and (ahem) flogging molly.

Flogging Molly's lead singer is Dublin born and bred.

Yeah,I heard an interview on the radio with them andwas surprised one of them was actually from Ireland. I always lumped them in with Dropkick Murphy's. Still rubbish though.

I like the song Drunken Lullabies but your man's vox sound a bit like Socky.

In fairness, my initial reaction was to ask did West Britain count as ireland.
