About

The Cranberries, Irish rock melodies from Limerick, 1989 to 2019.

Four key albums charting their alt-rock rise; rare numbered UK vinyls reach high collector prices.

The Cranberries started as The Cranberry Saw Us with a lineup including Noel and Mike Hogan, Niall Quinn, and Fergal Lawler. In 1990, Dolores O'Riordan joined as lead vocalist, prompting a name change. A blend of acoustic rock, Celtic influences, and jangly alternative reflected their style. Their vinyl discography includes studio albums, live recordings, and reissues, many available in limited and numbered editions that attract collectors.

Key albums like "Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?" (1993) and "No Need To Argue" (1994) feature some of their most enduring songs. The band officially ended in 2019, leaving behind a rich legacy in vinyl formats from original pressings to recent remastered deluxe editions.
