Oh... My... God! I cannot believe there's not a single thread in this forum on the other major Irish band, The Cranberries! :shocked: This is a U2 forum, isn't it? :eyebrow:

Dolores is one of my favorite female vocalists ever! Her voice really shines in songs like Zombie, Linger, Dreams, Ode To My Family, Ridiculous Thoughts, When You're Gone, Promises, Animal Instinct etc. God, I used to listen to them so much thru the 90s!

Who else loves this band? :heart:
 
I used to love them. I admit that I haven't ripped any of their cd's to my itunes though :shifty:

I'll have to dig 'em out


speaking of Irish bands zoot how's the Bell X 1 sitting with ya :whistle:
 
I'm one of the few people that really enjoys their album To The Faithful Departed. I like it even more than No Need To Argue! :ohmy:

red.. you did get my PM, didn't ya? I liked it! :sexywink:
 
zooty you know how I feel about them. :love: :wink:

well, I only own their first 2 albums actually, but I really like them. I know some people hate her voice, but I think it's really beautiful at times.

fav song for me is Daffodil Lament-->No Need to Argue. :heart:

The big question is are they going to ever record another album? With Dolores now doing a solo album and then launching who own tour in 2006, perhaps into 2007, a new Cranberries album may not come out until 2008. Last album was Wake Up And Smell The Coffee which was released on October 23, 2001.

Has anyone heard when Dolores will actually be releasing her solo album this year?

I used to listen to them quite a lot. I outgrew Vivaldi and the Crans at the same time, unfortunately. They have some nice tunes.
 
Awesome band, why is Ireland such a goldmine for sensational music.

Dolores vocal is bettered by only a very few other human beings....

I only own their Best Of, but hearing songs like Salvation and Free to Decide is a very nostalgic experience for me.

Brilliant band. Any news on whether they're still together or anything...

After their 3rd album, they recieved very little radio play in Australia and I didn't hear much about their 4th and 5th albums...
 
I loved the Cranberries first album!!!!

Everyone else is doing it,why should'nt we, i think it was their best !!!

It gives me goosebumps listening to some of their stuff!(In a good way!)

Oh man, I bought that 'Stars' best-of and was so pissed off that songs like Promises, Ridiculous Thoughts, When You're Gone, Free To Decide etc. had been edited so brutally! esp. Promises! :angry: Then I kinda came to terms with the possibility that perhaps it was meant to be just a sampler CD for people who're getting into their music.. and that I may actually have to spend the dollars to get Bury The Hatchet and the other albums. :slant: :wink:
 
They've done some alright songs. Zombie is a cool song. I really don't like her voice though, it's very very annoying imo.

To The Faithful Departed was also in Q magazines 50 Worst Albums Of All Time coming in at number 25.
