[edit] Q & A
What do you call that kind of singing Dolores is known for, (similar to some of Sinéad O'Connor's singing)? Or is there a name for it? --KQ
The way Dolores O'Riordan often sings is called yodeling.
[edit] Article Improvements
Should we have a information box ( Infobox_band ), stating vital stats. This is the case for most bands and artists? -SDF
Also the picture on the article is messed up Tpoore1 04:43, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Studio Albums
The third album listed under this heading gives the UK as both ranks, rather than one UK and one US. I'm not going to guess the listing convention didn't change, so I'll leave it to someone familiar with the group to change it. Ryan 1 July 2005 20:07 (UTC)
Her singing could be described as keening.
Several edits have expanded or revised the sentence about Britpop bands in this article, but what's the point? If you feel the need to classify, the Cranberries would be pre-Britpop. Those bands don't have much to do with the Cranberries. I've deleted that sentence.
Added to the fact they are not British. Snowbound 00:11, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] No Need To Argue
This section is horribly opinionated and reads like an album review. It needs to be revised. --Skillz80 23:08, 17 June 2006 (UTC)----
Oh god I agree. I removed 'This was not the type of music expected from this group at the time, and that makes it an eye-opening triumph in my opinion.' and everything following it as it was incredibly unencyclopedic. even the text above that needs rewriting, unfortunately i dont have the time. Anyone?
Actually i just removed the whole no need to argue section of the article, the album has its own page. Unfortunately this leaves a gap in the history section, which will need to be flled.
[edit] MTV
The MTV Unplugged was recorded at Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York on the 13th of February 1995. -- Simplicius 13:47, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Charts
The chart section of this article is good, but I think it should include the lists from the UK. I dunno if I can get them, I think so, but I don't know how to create tables in here. If someone wants to do it, please do so. I'll post the lists once I find them.
I made the charts and I'll be happy to edit the UK data in if you find it. Allmusic.com only provided me with the US Billboard info. --Ptparatroopa 02:31, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
I remember hearing Animal Instinct, Just My Imagination, and Analyse on radio and/or VH1 or M2 here in the US. Did they not chart at all in the US? There're none listed in the singles list.
I found the following in a Cranberries Forum (zombieguide.com). I copied entirely:

[edit] Wow
Wow, this article sucks. It needs a major POV rewrite. 66.231.130.102 07:38, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] serious amount of NPOV
I was shocked at the amount of POV included in this article, for an internationally-renowned band like the cranberries this the article was very poor. It was obviously written/eddited by a Cranberries fans who was reluctant to include the criticism, especially with the bit where she described the third album as being released to rave reviews, as far as I remember it wasnt very well received and I saw it was included in Q magazines 50 worst albums ever. I've eddited it as much as I can but I would hope someone could scan over the article and see if anymore POV can be found. I'm a big Cranberries fan, but I dislike it when people show biased views especialy on encyclopedic sites like Wikipedia.
I still dont think the article is great and for a band like cranberries who have sold around 40 million records it should be a lot better.81.153.14.1 01:09, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] inappropriate use of material from other source
http://www.cranberries.com/read/bio_monoband.html contains the exact phrasing of the last paragraph of the article on the break-up. Is the rest of the article original? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 196.207.40.213 (talk • contribs).
- Good point. The third paragraph of the origins section (beginning "The demo tape earned the attention of both the U.K. press and...") appears to come from here. And that's the first test I've done! I'll have a look later (when I have more time) and try to cut out what seems to have been lifted from elsewhere.--A bit iffy 10:29, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Genres
At what point in their career have The Cranberries sounded even remotely nu metal? -Xlator 19:01, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
Please include their contributions to the movie "You've Got Mail".—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.87.89.238 (talk • contribs).
[edit] New release
They have a new release (actually 2006) -> Colour Collection. Any one knows what type of release is it? I cannot find much info on their official web page.--Scheibenzahl 15:02, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
