Was never a big fan, but dug her voice. Her hit was overplayed, but still a damn good song. Best Prince song ever recorded imo. She definitely had issues, but compared to some of the trash that is celebrated in the music industry, always thought she got a raw deal.

Incredibly talented. Beautiful when younger, but hard living has taken its toll. Tearing up a photograph of the Pope doesn't crack her Top 10 stunts. Weird as hell.

She was strange and deeply troubled, like a lot of artists, but she had such a powerful voice. Aside from her well-known radio hits, this collab with Massive Attack was probably my favorite of her songs.

I'll never forget the time she was on The McLaughlin Sinatra Group

Forget Nothing Compares and roll with Mandinka. Awesome song.

Her rendition of The Foggy Dew makes me want to kill Englishmen. And I'm part English. And I hate irony.

Never saw this until now. Sinead with Roger Waters and The Band. It's excellent:

When an entire auditorium of people are booing you for telling the truth, you find out who are your friends & standup individuals. Kris Kristofferson standing alone on stage with you as insults rained down is still a moment of tender humanity.

Definitely would not be broadcast on SNL today.
An all time great sketch.

I did not go into that expecting to get choked up. Beautiful.

Tortured soul, highly misunderstood, but full of passion, resolve, and kindness. RIP

Phil Hartman was an all time great on SNL. It gets funnier every time I see it.

All-time classic. "Sine-Aid O'Connor."

For our younger members, Sine-Aid was the name of a nasal spray at the time.

It's weird..

When Nothing Compares to You came out I didn't care for it. But all these years later I find it's a helluva jam that has aged really well.

Fun piece of trivia about her infamous performance on SNL. The photo of the pope she tore up wasn't thrown away or destroyed, it was picked up by one of the cast members who kept it a secret for years. I think I read about it in Live From New York, IIRC.

That cast member was...David Spade.

Maybe losing her son to suicide was too much. Sad.

She got so much crap for that and she was right.

I think I probably still have episode on VHS somewhere. I have most of the 89 and 90 seasons on tape. It's a cliche', everyone always says the best cast was the one from when you were in high school but in this case I happen to think it's true. To me that was the golden age of SNL. It was after we'd moved on from the wastelands of the mid 80's/near cancellation to genuine comedy gold and before it became the absurdist comedy of the early/mid 90's.

Oh brother. Not gonna (further) derail into politics but to act like what she did wasn't shocking and should've gone without consequences is absurd.
She knew what she was doing was outrageous and she paid the price for it.
I'm an atheist by the way so this has nothing to do with religion but rather decorum and decency. There's a time and a place. On the stage at SNL aint it.

When exactly is the right time and place to point out the coverup of thousands of children abused by priests?

It absolutely was shocking and was meant to be exactly that. She "paid the price for it" because people would rather support the Catholic church instead of the tens of thousands of abuse victims that the church helped to cover up. It ruined her career but the best part is she didn't giving a flying **** and stood strong behind her actions. Talk about true integrity and standing up against an evil monolith risking your entire career. She is a damn hero as far as I'm concerned. Spare me the "time and place" bull**** when it comes to calling out pedophiles and those that protect them.
