THE CRANBERRIES / STARS: THE BEST OF THE CRANBERRIES
The Cranberries were an Irish rock band that rocketed to fame with hit songs such as Linger (1993), Zombie (1994) and Free to Decide (1996). Brothers Mike and Noel Hogan, O'Riordan and Lawler all friends from Limerick formed the band in 1990 and signed with Island Records one year later. Their debut release, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? (1993) went platinum. American and British audiences immediately took to the young quartet's mix of ethereal sounds lead singer O'Riordan's voice is often compared to that of fellow Irish crooner Sinead O'Connor and raw rock energy. The band classified themselves as an alternative rock group, but incorporated aspects of indie rock, jangle pop, folk rock, post-punk, and pop rock into their sound. They rank as one of the best-selling alternative acts of the 1990s, having sold nearly 50 million albums worldwide.
