I don’t want to change the world, but here are 30 great songs from or about New England

These aren’t the 30 greatest Irish songs of all time, I’d never make such a claim, but they are 30 great songs from or about (or related to) Ireland, and that is a good thing too.
The ‘Top 30’ b-sides is the most controversial list yet and I make no apology for that. Sorry.
