So where should you start? Possibly like me, with the spiritual waves of "The Lion and The Cobra", with headphones attached to your ears. There are so many songs there that will catch your heart. Start with "Just Like u said it would b" (track 4), and then, climb to the furious mountains of "Jerusalem", and go to visit her best song ever, "Troy"... but really, finally you will be familiar closely to each and every song in this great album, and Sinead will conquer your heart.

Now, you must try to get her amazing video "The Value of Ignorance". There, she performs most of the songs from "The Lion & and Cobra", and she looks great. She is young, sexy (the way she plays with the microphone...), her shining bald head is so sensual and beautiful...

And now, you will probably fall in love with her. So you can buy her second album, with the long name I never remember. (just joking, it is called - "I do not want what I haven't got"). "Nothing Compares 2U" is there, and as a true Sinead's fan, u would probably learn its words. You will sing in your car with Sinead her great song "The Emperor's New Clothes", and I can only quote one of her most famous sentences from this song:

Well, you can relax now and listen to these two albums and enjoy Sinead in her best. When you want to go further, you can buy her third album "Am I not You Girl". hmmm. quite a different album. Not a rock album at all... Where is Sinead the Great? Well, this album contains covers of oldies. The songs that Sinead grew up on them. As a true Sinead's fan, u must have this album in your cabinet, but, I must admit, I hope she will never do that mistake again.

Neither the mistake in releasing her fourth album. Know that: several weeks after releasing "Am I not Your Girl" Sinead destroyed her US-career when she did something strange to the Pope's picture, and live! She quickly escaped from the US and returned to Ireland. She had some bad times. She tried to commit suicide. She was (and still, probably) hooked to light drugs. She wanted everything to put in her next album, so at the end of 1994 she released "Universal Mother". There, she tells us some things about her cruel mom and dad, she cries about grief and tells us some things about children.

All of the songs there are very good and interesting, but the album is boring. Really boring. Except maybe of the (rap?) song - "Famine", which is quite addictive and interesting, and I'm personaly familiar with someone who memorizes every word of it. Still, soon... this album will sit deep inside your cabinet as well.

So, you ask me, what is there about Sinead, she released only four albums and two of them are quite medium. So why do you find Sinead so great, why do you love her so much?

On that, I really can't answer. Who knows? Maybe I love her only because of her first two albums. Maybe because she is one of the very few performers who really doesn't afraid to say what on their minds. Maybe because she is so "human", so sweet, who knows... maybe it is all due to her concert in Jerusalem which I liked so much.

When you will become a true Sinead fan, u should know there is much more Sineadian things out there BESIDES her four albums. She performed so many new songs on live concerts, singles and guest appearances that you wouldn't believe it, there is a huge set of great video material, some amazing interviews (take, for example, the interview in Q from September 1994), and books that were written about her. Sinead is a very very interesting human being, and there is no surprise that she is considered by many as "The Queen of Ireland".
