The Cranberries

[JAZZMANB]

Saw the Cranberries at the Riverside, on the bill with the mighty 'And all because the lady loves' . About 10 people there and they were awful

Improved later and Dreams is a canny song .

RIP

Speaking of gone to soon I thought you'd passed on
Where ya been ?

B side of an album?

It was on a tape iirc, at least I was listening to it on a cassette Walkman.

Incredible voice. Such a shame to be lost so young.

These words man. Sums up living through terrorism far more eloquently than your average politician.

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence, caused such silence
Who are we mistaken?
But you see, it's not me
It's not my family
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head they are crying

46 is no age to clock out.

I have their playlist on Spotify. Some brilliant songs in their back catalogue

 

[toosb]

Although I haven't played them in ages the first two albums were great. I went to see them in Edinburgh many years ago as well. Sad news indeed. R.I.P.

Their fourth album Bury The Hatchet is massively underrated. Anyone who likes the first two will like this after a few plays.

 

[Billy Batts]

Balls man, getting offended for something you have no need to. It wasn't a nasty post mate.

Exactly. Imagine getting worked up just because somebody wasn't a particular fan of her voice ffs, neither was I as it goes. Doesn't mean any less of her passing, it's awful and tragic no matter what.

I loved her voice but yes, an acquired taste.

 

[Junior Birdman]

Saw them once supporting R.E.M. at Cardiff in 1995. R.I.P.

 

[toosb]

f***ing hell, that genuinely churns me up that song.

"If you could get by, trying not to lie." What a great line. Who cannot relate to that?

 

[Laeotaekhun]

Am I the only one who compares her to Sinead O'Connor?

Lovely voice but, seemingly, as mad as a hatter.

Whatever, 46 is no age to go.

WTF

Zombie and linger are two of my favourite tunes, the former one of the strongest pieces of music from that era imo.

Rip pet, cracking voice and stood up for what was right.

Same here. I've been playing it loads on my guitar.

 

[Walter White]

She had an amazing voice, the cracks in it were fantastic. Awful news, RIP.

 

[dcl0sc]

Absolutely gutted, beautiful singer - i'd wanted to go and see them at the Sage last year RIP Dolores xx

I love this song...

It reminds me so much of being young, just left school a couple of years previous, still dealing with some internal shite I had going on and thinking "where the fuck do I go from here..." I listened to this album repeatedly!

I regret never going to see them live.

Always one of my favourites

Amazing, beautiful voice!

Obviously fragile but far more talented than Sinead.

 

[Bob Fleming]

Obviously fragile but far more talented than Sinead.

Way more aye.

 

[Daylight]

Had tickets to see them at the Sage last year but it was sadly cancelled. Linger was one of my favourite songs of the 1990s beautiful.

 

[Silent Bob]

Her death is now being reported as 'not suspicious'
