September 06, 2017
Dolores O'Riordan, lead singer of The Cranberries, is 46 today.
Initially called The Cranberry Saw Us, Mike and Noel Hogan put out a call for a female lead singer in 1989 and O'Riordan showed up with a rough version of "Linger". The guys hired her, they recorded their first 3-song EP Nothing Left At All, then changed their name to The Cranberries.
So for the Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear from bands that are named after a fruit or vegetable?
