Though the Cranberries’ biggest album contains plenty of great songs, its title track is arguably (pun intended) its most underrated. Just as we opened with the opening track from No Need To Argue, we’ll end this list with its closing track. She did manage to release two solo albums – 2007’s Are You Listening? and 2009’s No Baggage – and the beautiful Apple From My Eye from the latter record stands out as one of the songs where O’Riordan manages to sound like Dolores O’Riordan the solo artiste rather than Dolores O’Riordan the lead singer of the Cranberries. A breezy, jangly number that has O’Riordan actually sounding happy for a change, Tomorrow is probably the best song on that album (and of the Cranberries’ post-hiatus era).ĭuring The Cranberries’ hiatus, O’Riordan embarked on a largely uneventful solo career that saw the singer struggling to forge her own style outside of the band. While the signature Cranberries style was still there, the songs seemed fresher and O’Riordan’s voice is mellower and less angsty. The band released Roses, its sixth album 2012, and it sounded like the hiatus had done the band good. With its 2001 album Wake Up And Smell The Coffee pretty much sinking without a trace, The Cranberries split up in 2003, and reunited in 2009 for live shows.
