The Corrs: Every Studio Album Ranked - From "Forgiven, Not Forgotten" to "White Light"

Hey music lovers! Let's dive into the discography of The Corrs, that insanely talented Irish family band. They've given us so much amazing music over the years, and ranking their albums is, let's be honest, a tough gig. But someone's gotta do it, right? So grab your favorite beverage and let's get started on this totally subjective, but hopefully insightful, ranking of their studio albums.

5. In Blue (2007)

Okay, let's get the "controversial" one out of the way first. In Blue isn't bad, per se. It's just...different. After a long hiatus, the band's sound felt a little less polished, a little less them. While there are some decent tracks, it lacks the consistent brilliance of their earlier work. It felt like they were experimenting, and sometimes experiments don't quite hit the mark. Think of it as a stepping stone, not a masterpiece.

4. White Light (2015)

Their comeback album after a really long break. White Light shows a band finding their feet again. There's a definite energy here, a palpable excitement to be back in the studio. It's not their strongest collection, but tracks like "Bring On The Night" are undeniably catchy. Overall, a decent return but missing that oomph of their earlier hits. It's like meeting up with old friends after years apart - it's great to see them, but it takes a little time to reconnect fully.

3. Talk on Corners (1997)

This album seriously launched them to international stardom. It’s a perfect blend of their traditional Irish influences with a modern pop sensibility. The iconic "What Can I Do" is a testament to their songwriting prowess. It's bursting with energy and unforgettable melodies. Remember the first time you heard "Only When I Sleep"? Pure magic. This album cemented their place in music history, and for good reason.

2. Forgiven, Not Forgotten (1995)

Their debut album. It's amazing to think about how much they accomplished with this record. It’s raw, passionate, and full of that unmistakable Corrs sound. They were still finding their feet, but the potential was already blazing bright. It laid the foundation for their future successes, showcasing their incredible instrumental skills and the ethereal harmonies that define their sound. A classic, for sure.

1. Unplugged (2001)

Yes, an unplugged album at number one. Hear me out! This isn't just a stripped-down version of their hits; it's a whole new level of intimacy and emotional depth. The raw emotion shines through in every track. The beautiful simplicity of the arrangements highlights the power of their voices and instrumental skills. This album truly captures the essence of The Corrs: their talent, their connection, their heart. It's a masterpiece, and my personal favorite.

Conclusion: A Legacy of Music
