The Cranberries: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

R.I.P. Dolores O'Riordan. :'(

NPR Music have posted a lot of really good mini concerts - this is one of them.

And yes - she still got it.
Dat voice.

YT:
After a long hiatus, the best-selling Irish pop-rock band is about to return with a new album called Roses. But if this performance at the NPR Music offices is any indication, the group isn't afraid to dip into its arsenal of early hits.

Set List:

"Linger"
"Tomorrow"
"Ode To My Family"
"Zombie"
"Raining In My Heart"

What was always magic about their music to me was how she kept that amazing and beautiful accent in her singing. When many people (who speak english), sing, their accent can get lost.

You're kidding, right? You do realise even in Ireland that accent is considered to be somewhere between herpes and being crushed by a falling piano on the list of bad shit that can happen to you?

Best review I've read of them.


The world was doing just fine. I mean there was that global recession thing that just won't go away - doesn't matter how much new money you print up to throw at it! And there have been a series of earthquakes, tsunamis, floods and storms around the world, seemingly more devastating as global warming is either the culprit or just some wishy-washy idea the government would have you believe so that the chem-trails can continue. ...So there were those things.

But the world was still here - at least. So from that point of view things were okay. And then The Cranberries had to blow it and end 11 years of silence (ah, that sweet, sweet silence) and return with more of Delores' vocal strychnine and another round of pedestrian pub-rock prancing.


Awful, awful band.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

To each their own I guess - and music is subjective - but I disagree. Loved them in the 90s and still think they sound great.

Music is indeed subjective, but that review was just too funny not to post

The first time I heard Linger was seeing the music video on MTV while getting ready for school in the 10th grade. I didn't know the song yet, but it was stuck in my head through every class that day.


Wow, the 20 years since then have really flown by...
