Seen this on the Frames website, Claus readers voted on The best 50 Irish albums of all time, and O came third.


You can check the full list out over on www.cluas.com.

There are some very worthy enteries but i think the poll is very much biased towards popular albums out at the moment.Which is the case with alot of those polls.


Maybe its justme butDamien Dempsey's "Seize the Day" at 15 and The Tycho Brahe's "Love/Life"doesnt seem right.


How many of those albums are less than 3/4 years old????

Damien definately benifitted from only having one album out. I'd imagine that the frames polled more votes but it was spilt over 4 releases (setlist was eligable), same goes for U2. I knew the top 2 would end up like that, just wasn't sure of the ordering.

there's an irish band named the tycho brahes???[img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]he was a danish astronomer in the 17th- or 18th century, one of our really big scientists. funny that. cant even imagine how his name would be pronounced by you guys[img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

the Tie_co Bra_he I think!

Bra_he, as in bra-hay?[img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]

???[img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]

er, thats where they got their name from. They're called 'The Tycho Brahe' because theres also an Australian band called 'Tycho Brahe'. Yes there was much confusion with their name at the start but now most people have got the hang of it.

TEE-co BRA-yuh

..is supposed to be the correct way to pronounce it.

Maybe you should record you saying it and upload it here![img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]

Even better, I have a clip somewhere of the band themselves saying it [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]

ok here's the sound link.

Yeah, but a soft "hay" ... like in "heaven" not "hay"

[img]smileys/smiley29.gif[/img]That's not what I hear, but never mind [img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]

I think Damien is right to be at the top

er, i kinda thought so too, i just found it amusing[img]smileys/smiley4.gif[/img]


[img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]


ok, here's the danish pronounciation: tü-ko brah


more or less.Edited by: supercille

an online pronunciation argument, were will it end? wonder were ash"1977" was on that poll...

no.39

i think it's over now, don't worry.

Yeah, deffo 2 schools of voting going on there:

1. Great albums
2. Bands that are 'in' at the minute

I mean Music In Mouth at No.7? Sorry lads, it's not bad, but better than the Prayerboat at No.24? Er, I think not.

And just because Picture House have become the uncoolest band in Ireland doesn't mean they didn't write a good album once - Shine Box was pretty decent if I remember rightly.

why has picture house become the uncoolest band in Eire?


(sorry, i know pretty much nothing about irish music, but i'm still vey curious...)

Hehe there r playing in my town next weekend.Tickets 12 euro,they r so goin down hill if they're playin in a small town like mine,where nobody is gonna pay attention to them anyway.

???

Dont mind me im sleep deprived,ive had 7 hours sleep in two days,a final exam and a night out last night.I'm shattered!

[img]smileys/smiley36.gif[/img]ok...


i'm still curious as to why they're so uncool, though...[img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]

Well, they play the kind of music that's used in
advertisements for family stores. At least they write
their own material but, damn, some of it wouldn't
sound out of place on the Eurovision Song Contest,
if you know what I mean.

i stupidly went to see them live in the olympia and was completely bored out of my tree... just not my cup of tea i suppose

woah whipping boy no 4.

They also havea rep for being complete pricks.

the whipping boy - how so ian? Edited by: barrold

no, sorry, I was talking picturehouse and why they are disliked so much.

Never heard anything good or bad about Whipping Boy but Heartwarm is a really good album.

My buddy used to work with there original bass player, and he says he was the biggest langer going, that"everybody loves my girl" was a crock of s**t as well
