Today, the Cranberries are one of the most successful alternative rock bands and IRISH bands of all-time. They have sold nearly 50 million copies of their albums. Their mix of dream pop, jangle pop, post-punk, and even Irish folk gave them a distinct sound that is often seemingly ubiquitous with the 1990s. Their success seemed unlikely- a band from a small city in Ireland that mixed heavenly pop songs with dark and often political lyrics- but their success was often driven by the undeniable commanding presence of Dolores O’Riordan, a feminist icon who filled a void in the alternative rock world that countered the grunge movement. Her influence, in particular, is not brought up enough.
While making this video I went back and revisited the Cranberries later albums, and I gotta say, they are just as good if not better than their early stuff, man . I especially recommend their final album, In the End. • Album - In the End It’s underrated. But what’s YOUR favorite Cranberries song or album? Also, which band should I cover next for this series? Keep those suggestions coming. Thanks for watching!

What's your favorite Cranberries song or album?
Which band should I cover next?
I'd love to see a weezer episode!
Deftones! Probably the best nu-metal band ever. I would really appreciate if you did a video about them :)
Please do RHCP!
Metallica
@@sclitchmusic My second-favorite band of all time so ya know it's coming eventually :)
Rest in peace, Dolores O'Riordan, you'll be forever missed. I can't believe that it's been 4 years since she passed, her haunting voice will forever linger on. 🥰😇
I am still shocked at her passing. Yes, we HAVE to let her music linger on. :)
@@mattbeatgoeson do Coldplay
Woah that sad
Pop/Rock/modern music singer is a very dangerous job with a very low life expectancy, so nothing hard to believe here.
nice play in words, but yea... I was 8 when she died.
The Cranberries are one of the greatest bands of all time
I'm glad you appreciate them!
One of the greatest 90s bands anyway
I couldn't agree more The Cranberries are my favorite band.
Ode to My Family.
Rest in peace dear Dolores.
I’m 37 but I just really discovered them a few years ago and literally played their stuff over and over again. Her voice was absolutely incredible and had so much emotion in it. My favorite song would have to be you and me.
Knew nothing about The Cranberries apart from the fact that they were the band who made the song 'Zombie', so this video was really interesting. Thanks Mr Beat, and rest in peace Dolores O'Riordan
She has one of the greatest rock voice in my opinion. She’s in the top three for sure.
Great stuff as always. Love that Dolores always sung in her accent unlike putting a US accent on
I loved Dolores's Limerick accent, so beautiful. I remember watching an interview where Dolores said that the record company wanted her to sing with less of an accent. She said no, she wanted to sing in her normal accent, which made her unique. The record company was worried that no one would be able to understand her, but I never had an issue. I thought it was very neat to hear how she sang and pronounced certain words.
Got to see Dolores at a rather small, solo show in 2007 when I was in college in Seattle. I almost didn’t go to it, but since she passed I obviously feel so fortunate I was able to see her. What a voice. RIP 🙏🏼✌🏻
Oh you lucky duck! I wish I had gotten to see Dolores live. She had such a beautiful emotive voice, I miss her.
@@doloreserin It was a fairly small show. I wish I could have seen her with the Cranberries lineup, but she still gave an amazing performance. Of course, she did a few Cranberries tunes 😊
At first I thought this was the "Raspberries" and thought," oh cool! that band that did the 'go all the way' song!" but then it was the "Cranberries" who did the 'Linger' song, still cool! :D
lol I almost forgot about the Raspberries tbh
No matter where I am ... I'm always hearing her music even after her death.
I don't know whether to feel heartbroken or flattered by those vocals but she really was a gift to the world by God.
100%
I grew up listening to the Cranberries in middle school and high school.
Fascinating history, Beat!
And, as always, well told.
Rest In Peace Dolores.
Aloha 😊🙏🏼🤙🏼
This band is classic!
Heck yeah
Man ill miss dolres she is in my opinion the best vocalist of the 90s and to here what happened to her was one of the few moments where a famous person died and I cried she will be missed much love from over here
also you should do a video on prince or frank zappa that would be cool
Zappa would be a fun video

@@mattbeatgoeson Glad you appreciate it. I also did it on the Ramones video (which is completed).
mr beat is by far my favorite youtuber great videos
Woah thank you!
R.I.P. Dolores O'Riordan🥀
Wow, this was a great history lesson indeed. Good job Mr. Beat!
Thank you!
LETS GO ANOTHER VID BY THE LEGEND OF DOCUMENTARYS GIVE THIS MAN HIS NETFLIX SHOW
lol well thank you Lord
Oh man this one is gonna be tough :(
I had the opportunity to go see them back in 2015 or 2016 but I was busy with college so I decided not to... man I wish I had that one back 😭 Delores imo is one of the greatest singers ever and one of the most gentle souls ever. RIP
i heard linger on the radio the other day. beautiful song. rest in peace dolores.
i'd love to see a brief history of ween!
That haunting, weird warbling at the end of 'Dreams' always did make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I wish that part was a bit longer, but still I really love that song.
i was a 90"s teen but appreciation for this band came well past their 90's heyday. I mean riverdance and celtic music was in vogue in the 90's & an insecure teenage boy with limited taste was just not gonna get into a band with a river dance vibe and a female lead singer. Now though, I see what a genuine talent O'reardon was. all i want to add is ,stop what u are doing and watch the npr tiny desk concert by the cranberries, here on youtube. it is an amazing live performance
I had no idea you did this kind of content. I'm so fucking pumped to watch all of this and look forward to everything else you got coming on this channel
I’m not sure if you made one yet, but a video on the Moody Blues would be a good one
I'd love to see you do A Brief History of New Order
Heck yeah
If you’re looking for another subject, I think folks might love a Jason Molina (Songs: Ohia, Magnolia Electric Co.). The story of the unrehearsed, live recording of ‘Farewell Transmission’ alone is staggering.
Love the cranberries and have been a fan of them pretty much since birth. Really. My dad would put on their music and noticed that I actually listened to it and enjoyed it. Also Denny Cordell died three days after I was born. RIP to him and Dolores.
Omg I just got into the Cranberries yesterday!
That's awesome
I would love to see a video on the history of Van Halen or Rush
Two great suggestions
The Cranberries will never go out of style. Dreams is one of the best songs of all time-any genre.
Loving this channel
Excellent review!
Could you do something about Joy Division/New Order? I'm just getting into rock music and think it's cool that a band was able to continue after losing a key member and still make great music.
Also, the timestamps are a GREAT idea. Love your videos
Thanks for the feedback and suggestion!
Before I got into the sundays I would’ve said the cranberries were my favorite band. They were a fantastic band and I still think linger might’ve been the greatest song ever written.
Mr. Beat, you should definitely do a brief history of Daft Punk! They were known for hits like Around the World, One More Time, Revolution 909, and more. Please do a video on them!
I’ll say it again, your content quality does not match up with your subscriber count man, you deserve millions, when you release these videos they are definitely the highlight of my week and then you get me into a spiral of album streaming, last week I listened to the first 5 ramones album following your last video, and I probably will listen to all the cranberries discography now, keep up the good work
This is amazing to hear. Thank you. Also, I plan on making Spotify playlists for all the bands I cover soon so stay tuned for that!
You should definitely do one of these for Pavement
Oh I LOVE Pavement
So many sad stories with many many bands... But we have the great music they came up with... 👍
A common theme seems to be drug addiction of some sort. :(
@@mattbeatgoeson yeah... I know... Back in 1986 I had formed a band in Brooklyn... Guitar, bass and drums... Right from the beginning... Sex, drugs and rock and roll were present... Fortunately, we broke up...
can you do a brief history of siouxsie and the banshees? i love their songs
So proud to have known this band and to have listened to them the past few years, even if it was only since 2019, I don't regret it
Damn time and life are weird things....cruel things .....for a person like her to come along and then in a blink of an eye she is gone
I only know two songs, Linger and Zombie, but I remember when Bad Wolves came out with their Zombie cover and hearing the backstory with Dolores and her death and how the almost never released it. It's a great cover and Bad Wolves is within my typical music preference.
Great moment in time was listening to No need to argue on my walkman as taking the ferry from Gallway to Aaran island in 1996. It was grey and squally with light snow and I stood on the bow feeling very Irish (but in actual fact an Australian tourist).
Zombie and Can't be with you are my long time favourites. I even made a choir arrangement of Zombie.
One of the greatest bands of all time. Massive extreme metal and avant garde noise fan and yet Cranberries never fail to amaze me
I noticed that this band has a lot of fans that typically don't listen to their genre. That says a lot about them. Thanks for sharing this. :)
@@mattbeatgoeson I find when Throbbing Gristle (a band with an extremely interesting history) pulsates my ears in a harsh sense and takes me to an out there world, the Cranberries do that in a warm sense. It's equally as intense. Just in different moods.
My dad primarily was the one to show me Cranberries, along w Ramones, Black Flag and Violent Femmes. What a great guy.
Good on you for this one mate
A Soundgarden video would be awesome!
Great suggestion
lovely video
Can you do Red Hot Chili Peppers next please?
Great suggestion!
Could you do either the clash or the rolling stones next
They are on my list, but probably not next
This was a very well done video, great job! Dolores had such a powerful voice, RIP, Dolores. The Cranberries were the greatest band ever! My favorite band of all time.
I would love to see brief history videos about individuals.
Well likely Michael Jackson is the next individual I will cover
@@mattbeatgoeson Sounds great!
Great video.
The O’Jays,please.
Duly noted :)
Please do brief history of Foo Fighters!
Right on
I'm from Limerick and obviously the Cranberries are huge here but it's always nice to be reminded how big they were. Also great job on the pronunciations, they were spot on
Favorite Cranberries album: In The End
Favorite Cranberries song: The Glory (Something Else)
I like watching these videos man every time I get put on some good shit
This makes me happy :)
In 1997 Dolores was asked if she would do the vocals for Titanic. Sadly she was not keen on doing it since she was so burnt out. Sissel did them instead.
Glad I got to see them the last time they played NYC
I was in high school when No Need To Argue came out and I cannot recall hearing any song, at all, not even once, off of that album that wasn't Zombie. I'm surprised there were other hits? Like, where? The UK?
They were massive basically everywhere... 'Ode to My Family' was a big song from NNTA as well. The other two singles not so much... but 'I Can't be with You' and 'Ridiculous Thoughts' were always massive bangers live.
That whole album is strong although Zombie is not as representative for it (I actually skipped Zombie a lot back in the day, cause you would hear it on the radio anyway)... it has lots of softer moodier songs... 'Ridiculous Thoughts' and 'I Can't Be With You' are the other two uptempo ones.
'So Cold In Ireland' was left of that album (it is on the Complete Sessions and Deluxe 25th anniversary one) but is actually the most comparable to Zombie...
The Cranberries where first heard in the USA on the radio station 99X in Atlanta. A DJ from 99X was on vacation in Ireland and saw the Cranberries perform live they bought the CD brought it back and the rest is history. Mtv my ass they had nothing to do with it.
Indeed. Sadly, other radio stations were initially slow to follow
Please can you do massive attack!
Oh nice suggestion there
You should do Bob Dylan next!!!
I can't believe more folks don't suggest him!
so excited for the history of black sabbath ;)
Almost done with it!
Next can you please do Black Sabbath or Metallica? I want some heavy metal history next
It's looking like Black Sabbath might be next actually
@@mattbeatgoeson oh yes!!! I knew it! Can't wait for all of it
Still crying.
Zombie is one of the best anti-war songs ever written. I absolutely love it.
do Black Sabbath next!
I think I probably will actually
Possibly an episode of The Beat Goes On for Quiet Riot? First metal band to top the charts
It’s impossible to guess what band this guy will cover.
lol I have a couple of big surprises planned in the coming months for sure
Great vid! Beach boys would be cool to cover!
Cool
can we get a rolling stones vid??? love your vids!
Cool seeing the guy that they wrote 'Cordell' about.
Can you do a brief history on Supertramp please🙏
Wish for a musical drama biopic film about the band called Linger
Could you do a brief history on the doors?
I would love a video on green day please.
and your young age, u appreciate many great b ands and music! the beat goes on yes! what about Rush? a suggestion for future!? linger is a great song here my friend! agree! enjoyed!
Could you do a history of the undertones?

Do a brief history on the foo fighters next
R.I.P
Hey, Mr. Beat. Can you please do a brief history of the then popular boy band, NSYNC, in a future video?
A brief history on Oasis
Heck yeah
Hey, big fan of your videos. Please consider doing a video for AC/DC.
could u do one on the who or pearl jam?
Yes and yes
@@mattbeatgoeson thanks man
I freaking love The Cranberries, mate! They're my fourth favourite band after The Beatles, Mumford & Sons and The Who.
And I'll miss you when you're gone, Dolores. RIP.
Mumford and sons? Really? Serious question. I've never heard them, but I never expected to see them listed alongside the beatles and the who.
@@paulgordon6949 Mumfords are awesome mate!
They belong in R&RHOF and I'll never fully feel like it's a legitimate club until they are.
You should make a video on super band, The Traveling Willburys
Cranberries are so fireeeee
Glad you dig them!
Hey you should do AC/DC pls I have been looking for decent documentaries on this band forever, thanks
A lot of folks seem to want to see it. Thanks for the suggestion!
My suggestion is black sabbath and then metallica after, metal would fit perfectly on this channel
I would love to see a sublime video
Please do the Rolling Stones
make a video about fleetwood mac
@The Beat Goes on Next video, do it about The White Stripes!
Can you please do a video on The Beach Boys or The Doors?
I'd love a video on outkast
Most definitely will make one about them at some point
