I will attempt to find time to put the album tables in as Album infobox's Kevinalewis 17:51, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
I have done the first two albums and managed to blend in the Special Edition information - which interestingly had half been done anyway. Kevinalewis 15:36, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
I have done the next two albums (up to "In Blue") and managed to blend in the Special Edition information - which was far less in this case done anyway. Kevinalewis 11:52, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
Actually I have already done a basic job on the latest 2 so only "The Best Of The Corrs" and "VH1 Presents: The Corrs, Live In Dublin" are still to do

[edit] Height
My father has personally seen the Corrs and can guarantee that Jim Corr is at least 2 inches shorter than Andrea
- Your father is not an acceptable source. Unless he's a journalist and it was in an official capacity, or something. --IceflamePhoenix 11:00, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- And besides... Andrea was probably wearing high heels or something. =p --Omghgomg 07:49, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] The Future?
The future of The Corrs is currently unknown. No shit, really?
Sorry for that reaction, however this doesn't suit an encyclopedic article. I'm afraid I don't know enough about them to edit this myself, but this looks like it needs cleaning up Sargant 20:19, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, the statement is unencyclopedic. I believe this biography was based from The Corrs Online's extensive biography of the band. The article is comprehensive albeit featurized so as to highlight on the band. If this is the case, then it should be cited as a reference.
- Besides, this page needs more updating. More events have happened recently. The section about their future should be deleted, the contents should be included in the history section. I also suggest adding a trivia section.

Just tidied up the award of the MBE to the members of the band, and changed the year to 2005. This is a revert, but the timesonline article says 2005, and so does the 'The corrs online' fan website. 193.132.127.68 16:37, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Folk Rock?
Would someone care to have a go at explaing what elements of "rock" are to be found in this most twee of pop bands? Or even "folk" for that matter, apart from a number of weak folkey cover versions they have recorded. The Corrs are not remotely folk rock and cannot be compared to the likes of Bob Dylan, The Byrds, Fairport Convention, Nick Drake nor any others I can think of in this genre. The Corrs are more akin to Daniel O'Donnell than the above. O'Donnell has covered folk songs and rock 'n' roll classics during his time: is he folk rock too, then? They are a pop group, pure and simple. Nothing wrong with that. Guv2006 14:29, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
- Um, you haven't heard their new album have you? Songs in Gaelic? Tin Whistle? Irish Drum? Fiddle Playing? Incorporating traditional irish melodies into their previous album tracks and as encore to other tracks? Their *first* track, on the back of the cd reads: "Erin Shore [Traditional Instrumental]". "Paddy McCarthy" on 'Talk On Corners'? They started more traditional on their first album, gradually moved further away with each album up to 'Borrowed Heaven', then they went in completely the opposite direction and did a purely traditional album 'Home'. Keep your personal music preferences out of it. If you're that desperate, they're folk pop/rock. NB. I'm not as angry as i sound =). --IceflamePhoenix 10:56, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Singles Chart Info
It is not clear what a blank entry in the singles chart table represents. Does it mean that (a) the single was not released in that country, or (b) the single was released but it did not chart, or (c) the compiler of this table did not have the information? --86.9.25.205 10:41, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Caroline's drums credit
Would 81.34.147.69 please care to say why he has removed Caroline's drums credit. Is it because she is playing drums a lot less less since becoming a mum? Or is it because she was (allegedly) replaced by session drummers on the first 2 albums? She is credited as drummer on all Corrs albums (plus many of the singles) apart from the most recent one - Home. She can be seen playing on DVDs such as Live at the Albert Hall and Landsdown Road. I went to 2 of their concerts (1999 & 2001) and Caroline played drums throughout (obviously apart from the acoustic numbers). It is only recently that she has not been playing. But surely an encyclopedia article about a band should reflect their entire career rather than being weighted towards their latest release. Please explain. --Kev 10:08, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
I have reinstated the drums credit. --Kev 19:13, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
It's been deleted again. WHY? --Kev 16:13, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism - please revert
This article seems to receive a lot of vandalism. Contributers who try to clean up after an attack should use the "revert" option instead of trying to correct every bogus piece of text individually. --Kev 07:38, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Recent edits
I felt it necessary to add Ireland back in to the intro, as an Irish rock band doesn't necessarily have to come from Ireland. I also removed the albums and singles, as they should be on the linked discography page, and cleaned up the trivia a bit. MSJapan 02:14, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
