Dolores O'Riordan

[Finnegan]

Dead at 46. ****ing tragic that is, amazingly distinctive voice, great music. Really under rated band. 

 

Really unfortunate woman been through am awful lot. Still though, pretty ****ing young. 

[MPH]

That's mad. totally mad. Cant get more iconic for my generation than the Cranberries....

 

 

 

Thats upset me, that has.

[Guest]

 

 

rest in peace...

[pSinatra]

That's shocking & tragic.  You couldn't go anywhere during the early 90's without hearing her distinctive voice.

 

Just a couple of weeks older than me.

 

May she rest in peace

[Spiritwalker]

Loved The Cranberries, Dolores had beautiful voice. RIP

Classic of it's time.............. RIP Lovely Girl

Really sad news, she had a great voice

[Blue ROI]

 

The cranberries were huge in the 90s and even cracked the states. Then they more or less vanished after. Not a super fan as such but I like a good few of their singles.

 

They seemed to take a bit of a hammering from music critics.

 

Up until very recently 'Dreams' was still a favourite on 90s themed stations.

 

Being famous didn't seem to suit Dolores. I'm from the same county as her in Limerick. Very sad.

Zombies was on in the SU earlier, most likely in tribute but it crossed my mind that I've not heard a Cranberries song for a while, what a shame  

[shen]

My lasting memories are playing Secret of Mana at my dad's while No Need to Argue would play on his stereo and later (for some random reason) listening to Icicle Melts on repeat for 6 hours as I had an all-nighter exam session at uni.

Weirdly for its lyrical content, Zombie only reminds me of happier times. Was getting absolutely blasted out in the square in Brugge, and also in a pub after the Copenhagen match. Also always seem to hear it somewhere when I'm over seeing mates in Germany. Guess there's less sensitivity over the song's meaning abroad?

Even better was sitting on the water front in Croatia listening to the Cranberries come belting out. Not sure whether or not they've heard Bosnia (Sarajevo)!

Did your mum visit London in the last few days?

[TiffToff88]

Never heard of her or the band (Suspect its one of those where i'll probably recognise some of the music without knowing it's them), but 46 is a tragic age to go out at. R.I.P

[KingsX]

We saw them on their first US tour.  She was so young, just a kid, but had no problem commanding the stage.

No need to argue is a true 90's classic album, buy it.

 

Very sad news.

 

Always adored this song.
