Been tied up the last couple of days, so catching up on some old posts......

Sinead is one of the best vocalists of her generation, no doubt about that. Her anger got in the way of popularity, but the "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" CD was one of the best of that decade, and one of the few from that time period I still listen to a few times a year. I've lost touch with her recent work....any CD recos for Sinead since the early 90's??? Say if I wanted to start with two CD's.....TIA

As for Madonna, I think you have to separate her early act from the vocalist she became. There are some songs which didn't really contain interesting writing, but she interpreted them in a way that made them sound interesting and good. I'm not a big fan of a lot of her stuff, but I respect her abilities as a vocalist (not to mention as a self-promoter).

I remember an article, may have been a Time magazine spread or Newsweek, from the early 80's. Madonna and Cyndi Lauper had just burst on the scene, and the article talked about how Madonna was just a fad with marginal talent while Lauper had real talent and would endure for years if not decades. Guess they got that one wrong, eh?
