Following up my Kate Bush yousendit, here's another thread with the choice cuts from one of my absolute favourite singers of all time.
Sinead has made many enemies in her career for her outspoken nature and questionable politics. However, putting all of that aside, she has one of the most beautiful, fragile and femenine voices i have ever heard. A shame her personal actions, plus the lacklustre "Am I Not Your Girl" album (Easily the worst of her career) meant she's often seen as a one hit wonder. I'm not including that hit here, as everyone knows it. I highly reccomend her albums "Universal Mother" "I Do Not Want What I haven't Got" & "The Lion & The Cobra" to any music fan, particularly fans of Tori Amos, Kate Bush, Jewel etc. If you get her greatest hits, buy the UK edition. The US one has a much worse tracklisting.
Right, kicking things off with the song that made me LOVE her. Taken from "Universal Mother" this song became Sinead's second biggest UK hit, peaking at #13 in 1994. It is a stunningly beautiful, simple little song. I'll post a live version later which is equally amazing.
"Thank You For Hearing Me"

"Thankyou for holding me
And saying I could be
Thankyou for saying 'Baby'"
