Tracy Chapman is another one.
Pop album that has stood the test of time
I found a used CD copy of Sinead O’Conner’s “I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got” in Easy Street Records and snatched it up. I remember liking it in the 90s when it came out and may have a lousy cassette copy somewhere, but I had not seriously listened to it with the better systems I have now. Listening now, I am impressed by the material, the performance, and the recording quality, and it occurs to me that as an overall concept, it could have come out in 2024 and still sound poignant. There are a few rock hangovers from the 80s, but even those are well delivered.
I am wondering what pop albums you have that you think have aged well in terms of material, performance and production.

@slaw thats funny cause the first name that popped into my head was Suzanne Vega. I got on a kick a while ago listening to several of her early albums. Very good. |
Here's a few from 80s/90s everyone should have. |
