The Dead Thread

[Cels]

Dolores O’Riordan RIP. Looks like the Grim Reaper is starting early this year

They popped up on The One Show a few months back. Belted out Linger and made me go back over their albums.

Absolutely unique. One of a number of artists from that period who changed the landscape.

I'd forgotten about them, until that ad popped up for the bed company last year, that used Dreams as part of the ad, that made me go back over them too.

I've been playing their cds in my van ever since.

RIP Dolores.

Love the cranberries too... Zombie is an amazing song too beyond just the surface of how it sounds sonically

RIP

Just saw that, effing hell. Can't be sure if it's related, but her mental health was clearly very poor in the last year or 2, the media's handling of it was disgraceful

Any examples of this? Just curious, I don't follow the cranberries closely but I just started getting into their albums about a month ago.

Seems a little unbalanced to be celebrating a death.

I remember as a lad, everyone wanted the car he drove in the series - the Jensen Interceptor.
