That’s two of my favorite redheads in a month. (The other was my ex. 56yrs. Cancer.)
Chick had a very strange voice. Wasn’t a fan. Looking back, still not.
Never heard of her. Was she a druggie....first thing I think of when an entertainer dies young!!!
Over 650 million views! Wow.
Condolences to family and friends of Dolores O’Riordan. R.I.P.
Thanks, I’ll check it out later.
I don’t know a lot of their music, covers or originals, myself.
One my favourites by them was Zombie. I mentioned it on this thread back in September:

Zombie by the Cranberries is pretty darn “classic”:

Self Control was a good tune by Branigan.
Heart disease hits hard and fast if you don’t take care of your self.
How is she a victim of that?
At least we still have Enya.
The liberal artistic scene has many remnants of despair. Gone are the days of euphoria of Elvis and early Beatles. So many gone too young. When God is absent, emptiness is present.
OK, she may have died of natural causes, but 46? If there is no accident, cancer or rare disease, some self-destructive behavior may have been causative.
I loved her Irish lilt. She could have made me do anything.
Never heard of her but thanks to your link, I wish I had.......So sad.
Same here. Who knows where the time goes.
I only know the Cranberries one big hit but what a lovely wide ranging voice she had. RIP

May her family get closure. She was a wonderful artist.
It’s interesting reading the many comments left on YouTube. They’re just pouring in. There are obviously a lot of fans out there from all over the world.
