The Cranberries are a Top50 band in History

[Elpenor]

Yes. A bit of mixture supposes the strongests societies. This is why the Spanish Empire lasted from 1492 to 1898, more than 400 years. While the British Empire was only in force from 1648 (Peace of Westphalia) until 1922.

Dozens of peoples passed through Spain and all of them left their mark, creating in the 15th century the strongest state since Rome. The British never equaled the power Spain had in the 16th century

Armada than you

Great song from a vastly more talented artist than the Cranberries. Best thing you've posted since you've been here.

Perhaps The Cure were more talented, but The Cranberries were more authentic.

 

[Crannadict]

Armada than you

Did you know that only 5 years after the collapse of the Armada, Spain had already fully restored its fleet?

Why are Spanish sailors really good at golf?

Because they have Cadiz

The Spanish Armada was a top50 fleet in history.

Definitely top 5. I warship them.

The Spanish Armada was a top50 fleet in history.

In the main, I’d agree with you

 

[SpookyFrank]

The English are Germans, the Irish are Celts. Your mentalities are different

My granny didn't die in both world wars just so some fucker could roll up and call me German

But seriously, all this 'national mentalities' bollocks is just grist for the big mill of racism and petty tribalism. Kindly take it elsewhere.

Unlike the Cure, no one from the Cranberries has ever lent me their waders.

No further questions, your honour

I fucking wondered when this thread was going to get around to the Spanish Armada.

About time.

In this thread it has been suggested that there was too much talk about The Cranberries and the lady ElizabethofYork has decided that it would be better to talk about the Armada Invencible

No. Sinead O'Connor and the pope.

i saw that show, which is odd, as I am no SNL fan.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

Hopefully this next

Our three weapons are fear, and surprise, and ruthless efficiency... and an almost fanatical devotion to the cranberries.

That would have been The Late Late Show.

Ah.. sorry...
They showed it on the Late Late show over here.
It was 1992. She was right and not long after the scandals and abuses of the Catholic church began to be uncovered.

i had to be clear because there is a Late Late show here too, it came on after Letterman and had for a while craig ferguson as host (who was great).

I was watching a New Order clip on youtube the other day (this one of the Top Of The Pops performance of Blue Monday) and the comments are full of New Order fans delighted at how chaotic and hapless the performance is.

Real New Order fans know that the more chaotic a gig, and the more equipment goes wrong, the better it is.

Criticism of New Order doesn't land 'cause all the things anyone could criticise them for - Barney's singing, the rhyming dictionary doggrell lyrics, the instruments that go out of time with each other, etc etc - are all things we love about 'em.

Lol, got so much grief at school after that performance (had the band name tippexed onto my pencil case)

In Ireland Dolores is a very appreciated name, it is in commemoration of the Virgen de los Dolores
