This is shocking news.

 

I bought many of the Cranberries' albums. Some of their stuff was great, other stuff not so much. Her voice was definitely an acquired taste. She was definitely original!

Their 1999 live perfornace in Paris, "Beneath The Skin", is an excellent concert video. The band and the crowd were really into it.

That's very sad. Death was "very sudden". Per RollingStone:

 

"No cause of death was revealed. The Irish Times notes that the Cranberries were forced to cancel tour dates in 2017 due to O'Riordan's ill health; the band cited "medical reasons associated with a back problem." O'Riordan had previously been diagnosed as bi-polar."

oh damn, this is awful ..

 

46 ?!?!?!

 

The Cranberries were a refreshing carry over from a bygone era when musicians were not pandering politically, they simply sang about justice and the sanity of being anti-war ..

 

RIP Dolores, and thank you

I sometimes loved them and sometimes was indifferent. But the love moments were enough that I own 5 of their albums.

 

Bury the Hatchet I play frequently, that album is stellar throughout. No Need to Argue would be my second, followed by the debut. In fairness, I have not yet heard Roses. I will make it a point to do so.

 

My wife can't stand her singing style, but I dug it.
