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)
I have removed the reference that "the Corrs have called it a day and have split" as this is not verified Chancat74 18:50, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
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)
I don't think the term "Folk Rock" is entirely exclusive to the United States. Broaden your definitions of the term. Remember, they aren't from the U.S.! Happy listening! Tarkin —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.140.134.249 ( talk) 22:19, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
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)
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)
The credits for the Corrs' first album list three drummers in addition to Caroline; the second album lists four. This does suggest that on a substantial number of tracks either she does not play, or her playing is augmented by others. Tsuguya ( talk) 09:58, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
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)
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)
Could you add: http://www.thecorrs-site.piczo.com ? It's a great fan page with lots of pictures of their career, since their beginings! It also has info, discography, lyrics, etc. Thanks
Fan sites does not count as a reliable source nor a "external site" for more information because they generally tend to be biased. So no. - Omghgomg 08:51, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
I really, really doubt they've sold so many albums. Not one of the records is correct. How did Talk on Corners sold so many albums in 1 year? Last time I heard it had sold about 8 million copies. And I remember Borrowed Heaven didn't do well at all... so where does all those sales come from? Irish Scott 14:27, 31 May 2007(UTC)

The first time this word was added was here, as honor. But perhaps as we're dealing with an Irish band it should be spelt as honour - i.e. British (or Irish) English. To talk about an honorary MBE seemed strange to me. Edgepedia ( talk) 09:07, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
I believe I am vindicated after all because I found a serious glitch. I am replacing my previous messages with the current one: my previous message implied there was not sufficient emphasis on some of the wonderful instrumental pieces like "Rebel heart". That lack of attention has allowed an error to fall through the cracks: the hyperlink to "rebel heart" by the Corrs within the wikipedia section In Blue actually points to an album by the American country singer Dan Seals which is also called "Rebel heart". There has been a confusion of these two VERY different pieces of work. Someone has to fix this. Where is the wikipedia link to the actual piece "rebel heart" by the Corrs? Does it exist? If you have to write it, while you're at it, a few words concerning e.g. Sharon Corr's classical abilities with the violin and the general excellence of the Corrs talent (as I requested earlier) would be more than appropriate (ok, I admit it - I am fan - I love what they do).
To my surprise, even though there is a Wikipedia article on the Corrs song " What Can I Do?", neither this article nor any of the albums had hyperlinks to this song. I have fixed that. I also found out that the album chronology w.r.t. the albums i.e. the boxes on the right with the picture of the album were actually wrong in many cases. The Portuguese versions were better in this regard! Now, the English, French and Portuguese versions are in agreement (as they should be - after all, time is universal) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.33.24.252 ( talk) 09:00, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
I provided a citation in which Sharon (not Andrea!) Corr stated that The Corrs "may do something next year". That means she doesn't make use of the word "album". However, in another and even more recent source written in French ( http://www.gameblog.fr/blogs/igblog/p_20201_the-corrs-nouvel-album-en-2011) Jim Corr confirmed, that the band will start to compose for their new album soon - at least this is what the Google translation tells me, because I can not read French. Maybe someone can verify this and put it into the article? - GT-Schorsch ( talk) 04:46, 17 December 2010 (UTC)

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)
I don't think the term "Folk Rock" is entirely exclusive to the United States. Broaden your definitions of the term. Remember, they aren't from the U.S.! Happy listening! Tarkin —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.140.134.249 ( talk) 22:19, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
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)
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)
The credits for the Corrs' first album list three drummers in addition to Caroline; the second album lists four. This does suggest that on a substantial number of tracks either she does not play, or her playing is augmented by others. Tsuguya ( talk) 09:58, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
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)
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)
Could you add: http://www.thecorrs-site.piczo.com ? It's a great fan page with lots of pictures of their career, since their beginings! It also has info, discography, lyrics, etc. Thanks
Fan sites does not count as a reliable source nor a "external site" for more information because they generally tend to be biased. So no. - Omghgomg 08:51, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
I really, really doubt they've sold so many albums. Not one of the records is correct. How did Talk on Corners sold so many albums in 1 year? Last time I heard it had sold about 8 million copies. And I remember Borrowed Heaven didn't do well at all... so where does all those sales come from? Irish Scott 14:27, 31 May 2007(UTC)

The first time this word was added was here, as honor. But perhaps as we're dealing with an Irish band it should be spelt as honour - i.e. British (or Irish) English. To talk about an honorary MBE seemed strange to me. Edgepedia ( talk) 09:07, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
I believe I am vindicated after all because I found a serious glitch. I am replacing my previous messages with the current one: my previous message implied there was not sufficient emphasis on some of the wonderful instrumental pieces like "Rebel heart". That lack of attention has allowed an error to fall through the cracks: the hyperlink to "rebel heart" by the Corrs within the wikipedia section In Blue actually points to an album by the American country singer Dan Seals which is also called "Rebel heart". There has been a confusion of these two VERY different pieces of work. Someone has to fix this. Where is the wikipedia link to the actual piece "rebel heart" by the Corrs? Does it exist? If you have to write it, while you're at it, a few words concerning e.g. Sharon Corr's classical abilities with the violin and the general excellence of the Corrs talent (as I requested earlier) would be more than appropriate (ok, I admit it - I am fan - I love what they do).
To my surprise, even though there is a Wikipedia article on the Corrs song " What Can I Do?", neither this article nor any of the albums had hyperlinks to this song. I have fixed that. I also found out that the album chronology w.r.t. the albums i.e. the boxes on the right with the picture of the album were actually wrong in many cases. The Portuguese versions were better in this regard! Now, the English, French and Portuguese versions are in agreement (as they should be - after all, time is universal) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.33.24.252 ( talk) 09:00, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
I provided a citation in which Sharon (not Andrea!) Corr stated that The Corrs "may do something next year". That means she doesn't make use of the word "album". However, in another and even more recent source written in French ( http://www.gameblog.fr/blogs/igblog/p_20201_the-corrs-nouvel-album-en-2011) Jim Corr confirmed, that the band will start to compose for their new album soon - at least this is what the Google translation tells me, because I can not read French. Maybe someone can verify this and put it into the article? - GT-Schorsch ( talk) 04:46, 17 December 2010 (UTC)
