My first time hearing Dolores O'Riordan's voice was unforgettable. It threw into question what a voice could sound like in that context of Rock. I'd never heard somebody use their instrument in that way. Shocked and saddened to hear of her passing, thoughts are with her family.

My first memory of #thecranberries was:
A) Robbing their album #NoNeedToArgue from my best friends older sister.
B) Turning the cassette up full blast in their garage/coal shed!
C) Singing #Zombie on repeat weekly!

Incredible Irish singer Dolores O'Riordan (lead of the band, the Cranberries) died today, so young, I’m heartbroken. I recently played “Linger” on my Instagram stories while out on a walk...she’s literally one of my fave go-to ‘calm me down plz’ singers. Bloody massive loss 💔
