all the Baduizm singles are a must, "Next Lifetime" and "Other Side of the Game" are amazing

there isn't a song on this list (with badu as lead artist) that i don't consider essential

definitely. for me, she's an albums artist, inasmuch as if I hear a song of hers I want to hear the whole album, the context matters, the standard of material is dizzyingly high.

tyrone, clevah, bag lady, window seat and next lifetime
