Wallflowers vs Cranberries
 

Who did you dig more back in the day ?


What were you at in life when these groups were dropping #1s?


Disguss....,

wanna know how I know your........ah, never mind!

Wallflowers seemed to "work" (if you know what I mean)!

Would rather listen to either of those two horrible bands than read another Deberg thread.

I'd rather have Nickelback's entire catalogue on repeat in my head than read another Deberg thread.

Mulva?


No!!! Delores!!

Just answer the questions posed sir

Better songwriter - Jacob Dylan

More evocative vocalist - Dolores O' Riordan.

I would rather eat shit sandwich than read another... ok yeah, pretty good contest DeBerg threw up here, both had 2-3 hits... its all a matter of artistic taste after that.

Dolores and her lilting tones overtake Jacob, atleast for me.

Really putting to bed that reputation for starting lame threads.

I dig Irish chicks.

Jesus. Give me one good ****ing reason to allow this guy to continue making threads. He should've stopped around 1913. He's in your head. You zombies...

I choose both.

I know one Wallflowers song. I know zero Cranberries songs. I'd say they both suck.

Should I have started a thread of some variation of some dumb NFL rule instead?

I think it's hilarious that Deberg catches so much shit for his threads, but I really do think it's overplayed. His threads are no worse than 70% of the drivel others post.

If you're too stupid to catch the catch phrases in your own thread I can't help you.

I mean, do you have too let it linger? You know I'm such a fool for you...

For the record, I have nothing against Deberg threads. I tohught Big Smokes thread of "Things you would rather do than read a Deberg thread" was funny. So, I thought it was funny to start posting them as replies in Deberg threads as well. I believe I was the first to do it in an actual Deberg thread. Sorry.

It's dribble you moran!!

Why do you turn the engine, when the engine doesn't turn?

A Wallflowers song? Or a Bowie cover?

Hey, whaddya know. I guess I have heard a Cranberries song.

Oh. Damn. Totally missed that. Good job!

LMAO

So...this is what is meant by a Deberg thread I guess.

My biggest memory of the Cranberries was one of their CDs being the shittiest attempt at a multimedia CD ever. Wouldn't load in most regular CD players, and insisted on trying to install an outdated version of quicktime on a PC, ending with a frozen computer.

I liked both

This isn't close. The Wallflowers are a one-hit wonder band formed as a vanity project for a significantly-less-talented rock offspring. The Cranberries have numerous memorable songs from multiple CD's and one of the most talented and recognizable vocalists of the otherwise musically drab 90's.

For those of you who are uninitiated, here you go.

That's my bad. 1916. Not 1913. One band is legitimate artists, the other is hoping to ride the coat tail's of the front man's father. Easy choice here.

Wallflowers most likely, but would never admit to secretly digging some of the Cranberries songs, and liking them.

Funny though that the Cranberries actually had quite a few more hit songs.

I have no idea what any of this means.

If I had to pick between the Wallflowers and the Cranberries?

You just made me feel old. How old are you?

Did some research to try to figure out what the hell you were talking about and found this:

Never knew that existed until now. Get the Godzilla crap out of it and it's a great cover.

Yep, that explains it. Wallflowers and Cranberries were (different) bands in the mid 90's.

Are we talking about a hypothetical situation where I don't have access to better music? Like, am I stranded on a deserted island with a hand cranked Victrola, and all I have is this one record with Cranberries on one side and Wallflowers on the other, so I can't play both at the same time, so I have to pick one? Is that what you're asking? What would I do in that case?

Cranberries all the way

Yes. Except it's an Ebola infected Victrola.

We're waiting for your answer Listo.

Hahahahahahaha. I remember that now.

You want to REALLY feel old. Realize that's this guy, . . . 10 years ago.

****ing neither.
The Cranberries, really? What a stupid name...to go along with the extreme suckage.

Oh yeah? Well, what kind of second-rate talentless hack do you listen to? You probably are the type to put some greasy dime-store twanger who can't play a single damn tune in your avata ...

Ummm . . . okay. Never mind.

I really LOVE that Wallflowers record.

Mike Campbell from Tom Petty's band is on guitar, T-Bone Wolk on Bass, my old bud Rami Jaffe on Keys (now touring with the Foo's), Matt Chamberlain on drums (in the Even Flow. Pearl Jam video, fills in for Matt Cameron occasionally, awesome session drummer).

IIRC, T-Bone Burnett produced the record. I saw them at the Viper Room on like Labor Day Weekend 1996 and they killed. Jakob's a good dude. Saw them at VH1-Honors in 1997 at the Gibson and they were great although over shadowed by Prince, who kicked ****ing ass.

I'm just going to periodically come in here and pepper the place with Cranberries videos now.

I swear tears came to my eyes on Prince's SNL gig Saturday before last. Maybe not on the level of his RnR HoF solo, but then who else can claim a Beatles all time classic as their own showcase? Maybe, Joe Cocker, but that's it.

Don't know if there's ever been a 56yo in history so on top of his game. He even looks mid-30s at most.

Hey get bent mfer, we can go right here or in your front yard... your call!

This

**** the cranberries




One head light....

Which one has Sinead O Connor as the singer??

Cranberries...hands down.

Bob Dole could go the rest of his life without hearing Zombie and die a happy man.

I'll never forget his uber-creepy character in Six Feet Under.

Makes it hard to watch him in anything else...

I take it that you are a fan?

The Wallflowers have 1 headlight, the Cranberries sing the elevator fart song. you know, let it linger.

If anyone has a chance to see him in concert and passes immediately goes to the front of the line for stupidest member of the human race.

Oh Luka, nother Deberg thread.

Heh, I was just joking obviously... but yeah, I like them, I remember hearing Linger for the first time up in Alaska, rushed right out the next day and bought that album.

I love her Irish lilt.

I really like cranberry juice, Ocean Spray please.

Did you haff tu?

ZOMBIE

ZOMBIE

ZOOOOHHHOOOOOMMMMMBBBBIIIIIEEEEEE BEEEEEEEE BEEEEEEEEE

In your heeaaaad in your heeaaaaaadddddd

I've seen him twice, and while he is a great musician and performer, anyone going to hear all his hits will be disappointed. He just doesn't do them, or he just does snips as part of a medley. And he spends an inordinate amount of time letting his band jam or do solos.

I'm just going to leave another one here.

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/RUmdWdEgHgk" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

i guess we are going to have to agree to disagree on this one. Ever since i heard that one song (that loochy refers to in post #62), i never wanted to hear another one.

Furthermore, if that song comes on the radio...it's light speed to the dial to change as quick as humanly possible.

Wallflowers or Cranberries?
 

Is Death an option?

Oh ya, and there is this....

Dolores O'Riordan of the Cranberries Causes Disturbance on Plane

http://img2-1.timeinc.net/people/i/2...ordan-1024.jpg



It was a bumpy ride for The Cranberries lead singer Dolores O'Riordan on Monday.

While aboard an international flight, the Irish singer reportedly caused a major disturbance.

According to the BBC, O'Riordan had a run-in with an air hostess, which resulted in her arrest.

A Shannon Airport spokesperson confirmed to PEOPLE that there was "an incident on board the daily morning Aer Lingus service from New York to Shannon on its arrival at Shannon. The matter is now being dealt with by An Garda Síochána [Irish Police]."

Following the incident, O'Riordan, 43, was reportedly taken to a local hospital where she received treatment before being released into police custody.

Prior to the flight taking off, one passenger noticed that O'Riordan was exhibiting strange behavior.

"So Dolores 'Cranberry' O'Riordan just boarded our JFK/SNN flight wearing red & black Superhero mask…#strange," passenger Pat Carroll Tweeted.

As for the cause of O'Riordan's behavior, the singer has not yet issued a statement.

I never cared for the Cranberries. Their biggest "hit" song sounded like Smashing Pumpkins with a female yodeler and I couldn't stand their other music.

To each his own, I guess.

LMAO

I could not disagree more. And they've had far more than just one "hit".

I like The Wallflowers... maybe ~15 songs on the iPod.

Like what? The #26 smash Bowie cover?

6th Avenue Hearbreak, One Head Light, The Difference, and so on.

The band was hardly a "glamour project", as they'd been around in LA for six years before they were signed. Their music continues to be used in major commercials (Big money), film and TV.

It's on my DVR but I haven't had time to watch it.

He's an amazing artist and performer.

Meh.

The only song i ever remember from The Wallflowers was "One-Headlight".

My wife likes The Cranberries and i once saw a really hot stripper dance to "Miss you when you're gone" and it was absolutely mesmerizing.

Sooo..... +1 for Cranberries.

Yes, Yes I did.

It's my favorite game at the mall.

Don't do that.

If liking the Cranberries is wrong, then I don't want to be right - the Wallflowers, too, for that matter.

Anyone remember the clip below? Jakob Dylan could have bathed in Bruce Springsteen's spit. It's a great version of what is a pretty decent song, IMO.

Honestly, I don't feel the Wallflowers or the Cranberries should even be classified as guilty pleasures. My wife and I even paid decent money for Cranberries tickets, back when they were big, and we were poor, newly-married college students.

You know what band I always thought was ****ing horrible and lame until I saw them live and they completely kicked ****ing ass?

Garbage.

True story.
