'Tis the season to be making lists, so Irish Beats' Rob O'Connor has put together a collection of his favourite Irish albums of 2016
All are listed here alphabetically. On January 1st 2017, Rob will narrow it down to a Top 10 and crown one album his Best of 2016. It's been a great year for Irish music. The hard part wasn't deciding what to put into the list - it was what he had to leave out! Anyway, whaddya think?
