    And that first album is pretty much an under-appreciated masterpiece.

    Indeed! Her love versions of “Troy” give me the chills. It’s a good song on record but her intensity of the live performances lifted it into legend territory.

    Edit: spelling (two words).

      Yes.

      Troy is the first Sinead O’Connor song I ever heard. It’s filled with so much love and pain and rage. I was too young to understand it, but I listened to it a lot. It remains one of the most powerful artistic expressions I’ve encountered. Here is a live performance and the music video.
