The Cranberries are a Top50 band in History

[Steel Icarus]

Perhaps the most fair thing to establish an opinion would be to listen to a complete album, don't you think?

I'm not sure I could tbh. Give me your top three songs of theirs - I've no doubt you have a list handy

'I'm here 8 years'.

You just used present simple when you needed present perfect simple.

Oh my god!

Sugar Kane is an 8 year-old Crannadict sock puppet, who has been building up to this thread since 2013. It all makes sense.

Years of Mallorcan plotting to turn Urban into a Cranberries fan-site. And now... the moment of truth.

Are you Ok, dude?

This people think nobody love The Cranberries in the World, they are rrally wrong hahahaha

How funny that you were speaking perfect English just a few posts ago

Now you're being silly

Yes.

?

Tbf 40-50 million record sales isn't any kind of average success I recognise. But of course neither does that make them good

Agreed. 50 million sales dont make them great, it does their incredible music and vocals

@ Elizabeth of Fork

Go do one.

 

[Crannadict]

Yes.

Always you was rude to people who love Dolores and The Cranberries. Why?

 

[Favelado]

I reject the premise of your question.

You can reject all you want

You're dragging this out.

Glad you're amused.

The Cranberries is not just one of the most important things In my Life, also they are making improve my English

 

[klang]

i honestly never knew they had such committed fans. I always just assumed people bought their records because that's what was being done, and that was that.

How could a band with the best frontperson in Rock History not have committed fans?

And I am just 30 years old, if I had lived the 90s as a teen my love for them would be even bigger

I think that if you had lived the 90s you'd be typing my posts for me.

 

[Knotted]

I think it's perfectly possible to explore something like the music of Aguaviva while not having to reconsider what you think of the Cranberries or their importance to you or their broader significance. Don't you think?

 

[Crannadict]

In España and Hispanoamérica The Cranberries are one of the most respected and loved bands

New New York - utterly rubbish lyrics, a "tune" I forgot while it was still playing. Awful

So cold in Ireland - again, sub-6th form lyrics, plodding music, and I'm finding it very difficult to get beyond the ridiculous mannered vocal style, it's not a nice sound.

Liar - Nice enough guitar sound, again lyrics free of imagination and interest, vocals so mannered I can't believe the singer cares one way or another that someone's lying to her, there's no passion or emotion or heartbreak in there.

I found it quite difficult to listen to even three songs, it's just bad, I didn't even hate it, at least if it had provoked a strong response I might have been interested enough to try and figure out why, but it was just dull. Genuinely can't remember the tune of any of the three now I've stopped listening, so all I'm left with is a weird vocal sound and lyrics that rhyme fight/night, pray/day, die/cry etc

I did try though.

11.1 million listeners don't think the same

My opinion is the same after trying to listen more than 50 times DSOTM hahaha

 

[Knotted]

OK and it's very likely that nobody is talking about Aguaviva or the associated composer José Nieto. But have you considered it?

 

[Steel Icarus]

DSOTM?

 

[CNT36]

Phil Lynott was my mum's third cousin's step brother's uncle's cousin you absolute prick.

This is not true. Just a fantasy in your head.

I asked to more than 10 people if anyone know Aguaviva and....

 

[Knotted]

Nobody on urban75 has ever discussed Aguaviva or José Nieto. I feel this might be the worst attempt at a diversion ever. Or at least in the top 50.
