Nummers met * zijn genomineerde nummers. De andere nummers zijn van de startlijst. Tussen haken is het album aangegeven waarvan het nummer afkomstig is.

Persoonlijk vind ik het wel jammer dat geen enkel nummer van An Appointment with Mr. Yeats het heeft gehaald. Naar mijn mening een geweldig album met prachtige nummers. Ook A Rock In The Weary Land vind ik een prima album maar kan me voorstellen dat dat minder in de smaak valt.

Overgebleven zijn nummers van de volgende albums:
The waterboys (1983): 3
A Pagan Place (1984): 6
This Is the Sea (1985): 6
Fisherman's Blues (1988): 3
Dream Harder (1993): 1
Universal Hall (2003): 1

Bij vlagen geniale band, niet alles van ze vind ik even schitterend (zeker het latere werk), maar een kwalitatief overdonderende top 10 samenstellen was niet echt een probleem. Al mocht er wel wat meer van Fisherman's Blues in de finale gezeten hebben.

Blij ook dat The Whole Of The Moon er nog bijzit trouwens! Nooit gesnapt waarom zoveel users er zo weinig mee hebben. Het enige wat ik hoor is een vrij briljant popliedje vol mooie details, met een mooie tekst op de koop toe!

1. And a Bang on the Ear [Fisherman’s Blues]
2. December [The Waterboys]
3. A Pagan Place [A Pagan Place] *
4. Fisherman's Blues [Fisherman’s Blues]
5. We Will Not Be Lovers [Fisherman’s Blues] *
6. The Whole of the Moon [This Is the Sea]

Arthur, heb je deze ook? The Waterboys - Fisherman's Box (2013)
Heel lang genieten van mooie Waterboys Fisherman's Blues. Prachtig boekje ook erbij met uitleg over hun nummers.

Jeez wat n overvloed zeg..dit moet ik eens checken..veel ken ik niet..

Ik ben van het bestaan van dit album op de hoogte, en het ziet er inderdaad erg interessant uit, al zie ik ook een beetje op tegen de lange speelduur. Nu ben ik zo iemand die minstens één keer per half jaar heel Sandinista van The Clash doorneemt, maar dit is nog eens meer dan dubbel zo lang

Ooit zal het er vast wel eens van komen, zeker als er een informatief boekje bijzit (heerlijk vind ik die)

1. Old England [This Is the Sea]
2. Don't Bang the Drum [This Is the Sea]
3. And a Bang on the Ear [Fisherman’s Blues]
4. Gala [The Waterboys]
5. A Pagan Place [A Pagan Place]
6. We Will Not Be Lovers [Fisherman’s Blues]
7. The Big Music [A Pagan Place]
8. Fisherman's Blues [Fisherman’s Blues]
9. The Whole of the Moon [This Is the Sea]
10. December [The Waterboys]

Ik zag het natuurlijk al lang en breed aankomen maar toch blijft het een vervelend iets om te zien dat een stuk 4 uit je waarschijnlijke Top 10 er uit gebonjourd worden...

De helft van de 20 finalisten bestaat uit nominaties, gelukkig maar … in mijn top-10 staan er zelfs 6. Had er eigenlijk nog wat van Room to Roam in willen hebben, maar verder mis ik geen favorieten. De lastigste keuze was de volgorde van de eerste twee in de lijst.
