The Cranberries : Zombie (1994)

With its haunting vocals and raw emotion, Zombie channels real-world tragedy of Irish troubles into a ghostly anthem of protest. Dolores O’Riordan’s chilling performance has made it a haunting favourite for the season - a song that echoes long after it ends.

Lead vocalist Dolores O’Riordan, said in a interview with MTV back in 1994: “It’s not a pretty song. It’s angry, it’s emotional — but it’s the truth.”
