380. The Cranberries

For a good two years, the Cranberries were a very successful run before the BritPop explosion. The Irish group found success on both sides of the Atlantic with their melodic blend of Alternative music, though the key to their sound was the distinctive and beautiful voice of Dolores O’Riordan who gave the Cranberries both their edge and their beauty. Despite those attributes, the Irish stars will struggle to find serious consideration for the Hall.
