My first time hearing Dolores O'Riordan's voice was unforgettable. It threw into question what a voice could sound like in that context of Rock. I'd never heard somebody use their instrument in that way. Shocked and saddened to hear of her passing, thoughts are with her family.

Shocked and heartbroken over Dolores O’Riordan’s death. The Cranberries were pinnacle in showing me that it was possible to fully embrace masculine and feminine energy in one cohesive sound. She was a true pioneer

WHAT. dolores o’riordan was an important & (as usual in this industry) under-appreciated poet-power-voice, influencing many...my song “half jack” from the @DresdenDolls 1st record was written directly after hearing “zombie”. may her voice carry on & on... https://t.co/ZuXMPllDPh

One of my fondest memories of the last few years was playing a BC show on the rooftop of a hotel in Cabo and then crashing the house bands set with “Zombie” while Payton Manning was hanging in the audience (lol) RIP Dolores, your voice always got me good pic.twitter.com/WoeGhM8zCt
