Educate me on The Cranberries

[K.C.]

Kinda late to the party, but I've just begun scratching the surface of their discography, and it's clear that Dolores O is a phenomenal songwriter.

But I only know their big hits, "Linger" being my favorite.

Post your favorite songs, live performances, song lyrics and any other detail you like about them.

Dolores O is a phenomenal songwriter.

Oh hun.

 

[K.C.]

Uh oh. A Moopy faux pas?

 

[jivafox]

She’s DEAD love.

 

[K.C.]

Oh no I knew that. I just wasn't thinking about her in that way. The media DOES cover the Irish you guys.

 

[jivafox]

This is essential

I’m too sleepy right now to post anything other than this is my favourite single of theirs.

 

[jivafox]

Solo Dolores is worth checking out too. Annoyingly her second album seems to have been pulled off streaming and it has some great stuff on it

 

[Dark Carnival]

Oh hun.

Suddenly something has happened to me, as I was having my cup of tea

 

[Dark Carnival]

Yay, that's my favourite too

In The End: I don't know her.

I’d recommend listening to ‘In The End’, it’s definitely one of their better efforts for me. The opening line of the album and the closing track are really poignant. Dolores’ vocals were at final demo stage apparently and the slightly more understated delivery as a result really suits the songs.

Will do. I just always am a bit iffy about posthumous releases in general.

On a related note I just had a massive freakout to 'So Cold In Ireland'

I have both albums and yes I like a lot of the stuff on them.

These were my favourite two songs on the final album:

[Cerro de Casa]

You're so pretty
The way you are
You're so pretty
The way you are
And you have no reason
To be so insolent to me
