Chick had a very strange voice. Wasn’t a fan. Looking back, still not.

Pretty good cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Go Your Own Way". Didn't really follow this band, but she did have a unique singing style. RIP.

Thanks, I’ll check it out later.

I don’t know a lot of their music, covers or originals, myself.

One my favourites by them was Zombie. I mentioned it on this thread back in September:

Zombie by the Cranberries is pretty darn “classic”:

The liberal artistic scene has many remnants of despair. Gone are the days of euphoria of Elvis and early Beatles. So many gone too young. When God is absent, emptiness is present.
OK, she may have died of natural causes, but 46? If there is no accident, cancer or rare disease, some self-destructive behavior may have been causative.

Here is an article that came out a few hours ago. It doesn't give us the cause of death, just information about her difficulties in life.

May her family get closure. She was a wonderful artist.
