Dolores O'Riordan's Ten Best Songs Ever (According to Me)

In the wake of Dolores O'Riordan's death on Monday, January 15, 2018, many people, fellow celebrities and fans alike, have come forth with their fondest memories of listening to her music and with a list of some of their favorite songs of hers. (You can read my own tribute to Dolores here.) Most of them, however, refer to O'Riordan's smash hit singles such as "Linger," "Zombie," "Ode to My Family," etc., and it is my belief that she deserves to be recognized for more than just the songs that most everyone knows. She has more than two decades worth of a catalogue with some incredible songs that are shadowed by her hits, so in honor of the late musician, I decided to make my own list of some of my favorite songs of hers. (This obviously is not all of them, and there are many fantastic songs that unfortunately didn't make this cut, not even with the two bonus honorable mentions, but I wanted to give myself an appropriate limit.) Without further ado, here is my list:


Honorable Mention - The Cranberries - "Daffodil Lament"


Honorable Mention - The Cranberries - "Zombie"


10. The Cranberries - "Never Grow Old"



09. The Cranberries - "Hollywood"


08. The Cranberries - "Conduct"



07. Dolores O'Riordan - "October"



06. The Cranberries - "The Concept"


05. Dolores O'Riordan - "Lunatic"


04. Dolores O'Riordan - "Willow Pattern"


03. Dolores O'Riordan - "Ecstasy"


02. Dolores O'Riordan - "In the Garden"


01. The Cranberries - "Waiting in Walthamstow"
