Status: offline 		There's an interview with O'Connor stating that he threw a tantrum about her covering the song off her own bat, instead of doing it under his beck and call a la Vanity/Carmen Electra/The Family. Maybe she mentions where she heard it there? (I think it was originally recorded by The Family, not Prince himself...)

"Lagen Love" is a cover as well. It's an old Irish folk song. Steeleye Span and Kate Bush have both done versions of it as well...

Status: offline 		"Mandinka" was one of my favourites from the lion and the cobra and also "I want your"
"I do not want what I havent got" is one of my all time favourite albums I love her voice, her songs got me thru some wicked evil times
I lost track of her once I had been in canada for a few years tho.

I agree -- though "Lagan Love" is nice; perhaps I'll listen to more Sinead songs.

I guess that makes you one of us then. 

I heard her doing a song called "Heroin" that I liked a lot. Very ethereal.

Status: offline 		I dislike her myself, in part perhaps because when any male student got a tight haircut in the early 90's in secondary school in Ireland he was instantly called Sinead! Her ex-"man friend", John Waters lives near me. He's a fairly controversial journalist. They have a daughter which he looks after.
