Sine'ad O'Connor is one of the most unique female artists to have ever been born. I love the fact that she pissed the entire world off! I wish she would do it more often! I totally hate that others have taken a bite off of her style.

I think she can probably handle that.

The nineties answer to Yoko Ono?

the opening notes are exactly like Dubstar "Stars"

Bjork does this sound way better =)

Terrible voice, ugly chick, horrible music => I hate her :P :P

I was so excited for a minute... Sublime on radioparadise.

Then I saw it was Sinead O'Connor.

My feet want to march...
My head wants P & Q.

After this song came out, I remember hearing a lot of bands sample this drum beat, and still hear it being done today.

I've had this CD for years...U guys just reminded me to give it a spin again....



In a word.....Class :nodhead:

She got the Midas Touch

fascinating. definitely not lame.

Nice version, but I've got to side with the DCD version as well.
Along the same line as this song 'Wind that Shakes the Barley' really shows the vocal talents of Lisa Gerrard from Dead Can Dance. Also check out 'Gloridean' from the live version of Towards the Within DVD.

Powerful/tradition lyrics!
Powerful voice!
Powerfull insturment!

hmmmmmmm

Of all the hundreds of artists that have sampled Funky Drummer, this is by far the most mundane.
OK, the addition of the violins and drums at the end at least adds some texture and redeems this a tiny bit.

One of her best songs. Period.

from "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" (89)

Wow- i think this is absolutely gorgeous :nodhead:

That sounds like a sample from James Brown's "Funky Drummer"

Oh, and she's pretty cute for a bald chick.

And why doesn't it seem like she is singing the wrong song to this music???

Although it's melancholy, i find this uplifting.

Great story, and there are some amazing song on DCD's Toward the Within.

A friend of mine from France got married in England. He said, "it's great here! It's not 'I do', but 'I will'". "But you said you would!" "I will!" :O)

and in making that comment you seem to be taking British tradition a little too seriously!

Quite surprised to see these negative comments. Quite a downer to read them, since I'm very positive about this song. IMHO it deserves a 9, and more playtime.

I'm not on top of Sublime's song titles, so I don't know, but when it started I definitely thought it was Sublime, so you're not alone.

veegez wrote: I can't speak for Sinead on the whole, but this song doesn't seem to have too many fans. I think it plays well in the local market. The Irish take the tradition thing very seriously. .Occasionally, too seriously!

Dude, is that the same drumbeat as Sublime's Scarlet Begonias?

Unfortunately, no. What you'll need is a set of ears and a brain that is willing and able to efficiently process and store an abundance of different kinds of music. No?

Whoa, whooooa there. I'm just kidding! Sinead ain't for everyone.

You're so serious lately. :)
