The Cranberries – Animal Instinct: 8
Dolores O'Riordan just has one of those voices and deliveries that I find hard to resist. This song comes from the moment they were basically falling out of popularity, but if this song is any indication it can't be because of the quality.

Interestingly, no one has mentioned that ”It Ain’t Easy” is a cover. Original by Ron Davies in 1970.

Re: Biggest Fan Songs - 2nd Edition
Gillingham at least mentioned it not being written by Bowie - is this an example of a song being completely covered up? Don't think I've ever heard of Ron Davies outside of knowing this was a cover. I'm actually curious what it's doing on Ziggy Stardust, which otherwise seems to have an overarching narrative.

It's a bit country rock. Oddly, listening to this one and the cover back to back makes me notice the country influences on the Bowie version for the first time. He basically glammed up the chorus, making it a good fit for the Ziggy album. Why it is on there I don't know, but it fits in a narrative of "Rise and Fall". The album's plot is rather sketchy as is.

Ambient really isn't my thing.

Good but lacks the edge or hook that completes most Cranberries songs for me.

I love this album, particularly "Promises," which made my all-time songs list.

Hair metal like it never went out of style! I'm still waiting for the revival. Come on, all the eighties came back except this!
Seriously though, this dumb and fun; the type of song I can almost shamefully enjoy when it is on, but never really feel the need to put on myself.

Reminds me of Kiss, in the sense that something about the song feels hollow.

Ingenious move by Morrissey to ensure he is always talked about; after all, who would want to be close to Morrissey?

Morrissey – The More You Ignore Me, the Closer I Get: 6
The lyrics are great of course and Morrissey is in good voice, but somehow the song is brought down by the music. Is it just me or is the band barely there? It feels like some sort of sweeping support should be there to really launch this thing into the stratosphere, but the actual playing sounds thin.
