Sinead - 'Nothing compares'



Get the CD - better watched, best live! Said a while back she's out of the biz for good. For the record: often called a one-hit wonder, watch her and tell yourself it was enough for a lifetime. ["at the few gigs she played on the Lollapalooza tour of 1995, word was she stopped the concert cold, felling the otherwise rowdy crowd with her wonderful voice alone." - Gina Arnold,metroactive.com]
The truth is she put the passion of existences into the first cut - look back to the shattering tearful Prince-penned Nothing compares 2 U. If her hitting an imagined ceiling has to be studied like it mattered, 2 things stood in the way: her outspokeness and her ardor. Tear up a print of the pope, krishna, king david or khomeni and who are you letting down? Tell the great American public that makes the final call on an artist's defining last conquest. Or was the stock spoiler an establishment conspiracy but she was famously booed off stage at the Bob Dylan concert days later. Giant. Forget the Rock Hall of Fame, she's made it. Frat figureheads concede her's been the most disturbing powerful and moving voices of all rock music. Take it from here.
