The annual Nialler9 readers’ poll is back. For the sixth time, I’m looking for your top 5 Irish albums and songs of the year. Lat year’s best album was awarded to Villagers’ Becoming A Jackal and best song went to Squarehead’s ‘Fake Blood’.

You’ll find a comprehensive list of Irish albums released in 2011 at the Choice Music Prize site. That’s not all this year though, I’d also like to hear what your favourite Irish EPs of the year were as well as your favourite new Irish artist or band of the year.
