RIP :(

oh damn, she was young!
The Cranberries were awesome back in the day. Chicks loved their songs, and I liked the heavy guitar, so they were on regular rotation in the cd changer.

RIP.
:(

The song Zombie has so much emotion and is so politically charged that its one of favorite songs.

Dreams was good.. i remember listening to the Chinese version from Wong Faye and thought it was good. then listen to the original..

The female talent of the 80s and 90s were incredible. Far beyond anything compared to the current generation of pop music. RIP

Damn! :(

I loved some of their songs. Dreams was good.

That sucks, always had a few of their songs on my current playlists.

RIP.

So many entertainers dying, but it's just the tip of the iceberg............

I'm amazed at how long some of these people have survived. In any case, their songs live on.

Music is so powerful. It moves people. More than any politician, athlete, dictator, etc. Music stirs the soul and soothes the savage beast. It brings us to tears and sends us off to battle and reminds us how fragile yet important we all are.

I remember this awesome poster that Yamaha? put out. It was a picture of all these great people. They were all holding instruments in their hands. Yup, they were all musicians. I tells ya, nothing like picking up an instrument or singing/humming a tune or melody to bring out the person in you. Passion. nuff said.

RIP Dolores :(

I started listening to them again after many years last year, can't believe she's gone now. Her singing in Dreams was hypnotic.

Will be looping Cranberries on YouTube tonight!

so young, rip

R.I.P. way too young. A staple for anyone into music in the 90's.

in 1994 little RRxtar is in grade 6. Green Day just released Dookie, and everyone in his grade is listening to it on their walkman's. RRxtar asks his mom for that tape for a present, and she comes home with the fucking cranberries tape because the green day one had a parental advisory and the guy at A&B sound suggested I might like this instead as it is also 'alternative music' lol. RRxtar was never friends with the cool kids again.


I've hated the Cranberries ever since.

I think every generation says that about the generation that comes after them. I know my parents would say the samething about Janis Joplin, Joni Mitchell, Tina Turner ect.....

I'm not disagreeing but it's all about the context and what you grew up to.
