    They started off a she was tiny and pretty and so very hurt in "Linger" and we all fell in love with her.

    A few years later and she was all shouty and lecturing parents about tying kids to beds in "Salvation", by which stage most gave up.

    First two albums were good. Fresh and catchy.

    After that, it went pear shaped. And from what I've heard Ms O'Riordan is not the most pleasant of people to deal with.

    They had their moment of fame.

    A second cousin of my wife is married to one of them.

    She was...difficult. Which in fairness can be common in the music world, some of the greatest have been the most difficult to work with. She made them all pretty rich.

    I can tolerate them better than before but the one song that will always have me changing the station is Zombie.

    Edit: Just saw...'Salvation' above. Another one in the Zombie bracket.

    She is as mad as a bag of frogs. A little detached from reality.

    Linger was nice, apart from that, pretty forgettable. The fact that they're Irish and we overblow everything remotely successful here means there's probably plaques outside the schools they went to and Cranberries walking tours going on in Limerick.
    Lol, just reminded me of something. I was in Wickla the other day and there are STILL signs up for the "Excalibur trail". A film from 1981 or something that pretty much no one under the age of 40 or so would have seen or have any interest in. They really need to take those down.

    My cousin was one of the bridesmaids at Molly Sugden's wedding.

    Never has a band been more overrated. In the history both of bands and of overration.

    The Cranberries toured the US with Suede in the mid 1990s. I like both bands but I can't see their audiences being much of a fit.

    Why would you do that? Plenty of people will have seen the film which looks gorgeous and the market for traipsing about Wiklow is over 40s mainly.

    As for the Cranberries - surely the worst Irish act to have a measure of international success. Unlistenable guff.

    I'd say The Thrills have that honour.

    Oh well, give me an easy life and a peaceful death.

    Nirvana is the most over-rated band in the history of everything, ever.

    FACT.

    Zombie is an assault on my ear drums. It's in my top 10 of most hated songs.
    Now thanks to opening this thread, I'll have a Zombie earworm for the rest of the day.

    They had some great singles but they were never really a band to get excited about enough to make me want to check out their albums.

    Also, "I Just Shot John Lennon" is a textbook case of terrible songwriting.

    Ah now, let's not forget that Ronan Keating exists (as much as I may wish we could!)

    Can't stand that turned up to 11 rhoticity she sings in, yeah you're Irish, big deal.
    Zombie is a horrible song as well.

    Oh Jesus, damn you for reminding me they ever existed. I think their whole credo was based on spending a few weeks in California one time and they came back thinking they were the Beach Boys during the Pet Sounds era... That whiny stupid voice he put on. Shame on your The Thrills, shame on you.

    The Corrs. Bland, inoffensive, saccharine sweet pap wrapped up in pretty smiles. At least the Cranberries tried, while Zombie and Salvation were woejus they were a band trying to push the envelope a little and not sail through their career regurgitating Linger. Every song by the Corrs was dross.
