It was why we left europe.
I'll give them a chance, something you've never done with The Cranberries discography
I don't understand. Do you think is normal to repeat same things I wrote just a few hours ago?

Fine to like The Cranberries - I don't, much - but to claim they had much of a far reaching effect on any wider music scene is ridiculous imo

I was on holiday in Sicily in 2005 and every single bar seemed to have a band on. And every single band played Every Breath You Take in various souped up styles. I'm assuming it was a hit there that year...Depends on where and what the scene is. As posted previously, when we were in Bali, they were a staple of cover bands in the live scene. Was amazed to hear Zombie, repeatedly, so far from home...
Mean, that's kinda far reached, if not necessarily a wider music scene

And possibly a few years after when we were there, sure we heard it at least once. Most unexpected was hearing a jazz/indie band covering Radiohead and joy division, though.I was on holiday in Sicily in 2005 and every single bar seemed to have a band on.

Liking the bands that you like is bad. Because they are shit and uncool.
Please stick around, you seem like a good sort.

CCR - you are 100% correct

I admire your enthusiasm and while I've no doubt at all that the Cranberries changed your life forever, to most people they're just one of many successful bands of that era. And that's fine. My favourite band absolutely changed my life, but most people have never heard of them, and when I'm introduced then to friends, most have been indifferent.I'll give them a chance, something you've never done with The Cranberries discography
What's important is enjoying the music for yourself and being grateful for finding music that makes such a positive difference on your life. Trying to persuade people that the band are really really important for whatever reason is a fruitless task and why should it matter anyway?

Probably The Innocence Mission who specialise in beautiful, autumnal melancholy, in a Sandy Denny/Nick Drake/folkie vein. The singer Karen Peris has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard.
They're quite religious which is usually the cue for me to dismiss a band out of hand, but the songs are mainly about reflective moments, insecurities, the changing seasons, snow, rain and the beauty of nature. It's fair to say that they've pulled me though some of my darkest moments.
They stared off in a kind of The Sundays vein but have become more stripped down in the last decade. They're still producing great music, even though they're ignored by most of the music world. And that suits me fine.
Two examples for you.

I think I've heard of them before but not heard them. Loved those two songs though especially the second one.

Or with the best drummer of the 90s.Probably not a Top50 band in History though

I've listened to every song on both threads!I'll give them a chance, something you've never done with The Cranberries discography
Most I found pretty awful to my taste, but there were a couple that were not offensive (the Jah Wobble one and one without drums which was sort of Enya-ish)

We've got fuck all better to do at the moment, so why not?

And the juice helps clear you out before piss testsApparently one of the health benefits of cranberries is they lower blood pressure.
The issue is that The Cranberries released their last succesful album in 1999, and 22 years later are one of the 10 biggest bands of the 90s in Spotify.
They were a great band, that deserve being inducted in the HoF. And it is really unfair that the job of another similar bands as Pearl Jam, Radiohead or REM is recognized, but not The Cranberries. All 4 bands sold more than 40 million copies and hace great songs, and in my opinion Dolores was the best singer of the 90s.

Life is unfair.
The Hall of Fame should mean nothing to you.
That's about all I've got.
Oh. Cranberries a bit crap. IMO. Which shouldn't affect you one iota.

Why on earth would it ever make a difference what awards a band won? Leatherface never won jack shit but their records remain as good as if they'd won the Mercury Music Prize, an Oscar and the Congressional Medal of Honor

I don't think 'Pearl Jam - crap/not crap' on here would indicate universal acclaim tbh, to put it mildly.
