Along with me, do you really miss lead singer of the Cranberries Dolores O'Riordan?


I just heard "Linger" on the car radio -- what a voice.

 The Cranberries  -- so good on my ears

    Hi Thriftymaid,
    I was looking for this question - - I am missing her today - - and I thought I'd post a question about her today but then I thought I had asked such a question before - - and I had. Found it right here. :)

    But here is what I posted to you last August but it looks like I may have posted it as a separate answer, and not as a reply to your answer. I wanted to make sure you saw it so I copied and pasted it here. :)

    Me, too.
    :)
    Sort of cool you answered my question here, Thriftymaid -- I first heard about O'Riordan's death here on answerMug - - and you were one of the people I remember on the answerMug thread about her death. (Someone had posted a question about her death on the same day, I believe.)

    Yes. :)

    I don't know why I am missing her voice so much today.

  • What a talent.  It saddens me to no end, the manner in which she passed away.  Her music and her voice has such a keen ability to touch my heart.  This is my favorite by her...

    Again, I've not heard this song before, so I thank you again for the introduction!
    I think the lyrics are deeper on my first listen here than the lighthearted sound of the song. That little twist in the lyrics - -  'It's NOT my imagination . .. " caught my ear. Deserves a second listen.
    :)
    Thank you for sharing it here, Twinkle Dink. I 'ditto' everything you said about O'Riordan.

    No.  Haven't thought of her in forever. She was cool.  I liked her, but she was practically out of the public eye long before she passed.  I had no particular affiliation for her.  She was young and had a good voice. RIP.

    What did she stand for?  Irish?  Ok.  That's nice.  ZOMBIE ZOMBIE ZOMBEEEEE EEEE EEE EEE EEE EEE EEE EEE

    That's what I remember.  

    Tom Petty is dead. I feel more for him because I lived with his music longer. That gets me a lot more.  I cannot get Tom to post. I think the ghost of Ms. Dolores is here.

    There's a video here that won't play for me, darn.

    Tom -- yes! Shame on me -- I admit I only REALLY started paying true attention to his music long after he attained such well-deserved acclaim as both part of groups/bands and a solo artist.
    And, more shame on me, I seem to remember the first time I really noted him was only because of the controversy of some scenes in the music video to one of his songs - - I think it was  'Don't Come Around Here No More." A scene  had Alice in Wonderland lying on a table and she'e being sliced up like a birthday cake - - at least, that's what I seem to remember.

    Anyway - - everything I've heard from Petty is topnotch to me. And I found him really handsome, too.
    He's truly a legend, I'd think.

    With Dolores and The Cranberries - - yeah, I see where your;e coming from but she -- and they -- have a sound that grabs me in such great ways. I'm forever grateful to her and them for the music they've created.
    :)

    Shame on me.  I was the one who ignored the greatness of Delores (sp?).  She was great. I just wanted to be INTERESTING. LOL

    From the very day that I was blessed to hear the song "Zombie", my heart belonged to the Cranberries and Dolores O'Riordan.  She sang with an Irish accent!  What was not to love!

    For me, I was originally drawn to that extremely distinctive voice and the strong, anti-war political message in Zombie

     Boy, I miss her and her music
