SINEAD O'CONNOR

I’m sure you’ve already heard of Sinead O’Connor. Either from her massive hit “Nothing Compares 2 U”, or from her ripping up a picture of the Pope on Saturday Night Live. Love her or hate her, you have to admit she has one hell of a voice.

Over the years, she has used that amazing voice on every style of music she wanted to try. From big band to reggae, traditional to trance.

Lately, she’s been doing the religious thing. Her latest album, Theology, is two discs of songs inspired by Bible verses. While it‘s nice to see she‘s found some peace in her life, I prefer her music when she was angry.


Here’s a few songs you may not have heard from her younger days:

Sinead O’Connor - “Still Listening” B-side of “Mandinka” single.
Sinead O’Connor - “Damn Your Eyes” (Etta James cover) B-side of “Three Babies” single.
Sinead O’Connor - “The Value of Ignorance” B-side of “Three Babies” single.
