"Dreams" by The Cranberries
Fronted by Irish songstress Dolores O'Riordan, The Cranberries had their biggest hit right out of the box with "Linger", which lingered at #8 in 1993. The song came from the debut album, "Everybody Else Is Doing It, So We Can't We?", which went to #18. Quite surprisingly, the album yielded no further top 40 hits. Even more surprisingly, the best Cranberries song, "Dreams", stalled at #42. The Cranberries would go on to become staples at 90's radio, landing 4 top 20 albums. Their other top 40 hits include the atypical gritty rocker, "Zombie" (#22), "Ode To My Family" (#39), "Salvation" (#21), and "When You're Gone" (#22).
