You can only have one greatest singer of all time and tbh in a poll I suspect Debbie Harry or Janis Joplin might edge ahead of do'r
Everyone can think what they want, but I assure you that there are many people in this world who think that Dolores is the greatest. Perhaps we are less than people who think this of Harry or Joplin, but we are still many.
Dolores's legacy is eternal.
Make the list you want

I'd give it a few more years before you make that bold claim
Maybe if a vocalist of a Top30 band of all time say anything like this, you are going agree:

Dolores O’Riordan remembered by Dave Davies
6 September 1971 – 15 January 2018The Kinks’ lead guitarist recalls a fabulous, unique voice, her kindness and their plans to write a song together • Aretha Franklin remembered by Clive Davis• Read the Observer’s obituaries of 2018 in full here
For now, here is a well-committed 29/30 year-old fan who, if all goes well, will live 50 or 60 more years loving and showing his love for the music of Dolores and The Cranberries

You're not funny you know. Just in case you thought that was funny.

I don't think it's funny. I think it's weird and odd to call your child Pain and Suffering.

Well fair enough she gets into my top 10, but mainly because those are the only female singers I've ever enjoyed songs by, who I know for sure are Irish. Her position at no.7 is more testament to my ignorance about Irish music, than about the artistic quality of those on the list.

I even would say about music in general xd

Not as "funny" as deciding to have a go at a dead woman's parents' choice of name.

I'd definitely rank her higher than Andrea Corr and I'd put Roisin Murphy ahead of Imelda May.
But glad you like some Irish singers

Maybe, but the first three in my list are three of the best live shows I've ever been to.

You're telling the wrong person, I don't care at all what Billboard magazine thinks. I mean, 'greatest female alternative musician of all time' is a reeeeeeeeeealllllly long shortlist and I reckon very few of my choices would concord with Billboard magazine's. But I hope you're enjoying your thread. I am.mojo pixy

Yes. I really enjoy showing the truth about the greatness of Dolores and The Cranberries

I shouldn't be bothering with this, but here's my humble opinions.
Dolores had a very good singing voice. I don't think she was a technically brilliant singer, although there's nothing wrong with that.
Her lyrics (if it was her who wrote the lyrics, not sure) are atrocious. She gives the impression of being obsessed with Morrissey, and therefore trying to be the sort of lyricist she just can't. It wants to be poetry, but it's often barely even English.
I used to read the NME etc in those days, and Dolores came across as pretty right wing and a strong anti-feminist. She was young, so possibly she was just a gobshite, but either way there's not much to admire.
My mum knew her professionally, by the way. Which is irrelevant to anything. I'm just showing off. Also, my mum was not a drug dealer, before anyone asks.
