Did the mainstream press (UK) even acknowledge popular music at that point?
It was the 1980s/90s not the 1880s/90s.

This whole thread and no one has mentioned her glorious take on "She Moved Through The Fair" from the Michael Collins soundtrack. That version gives me goosebumps...

I picked up some of her later albums this weekend at Half Price Books, I don't know much past Am I Not Your Girl? except the various collabs she did with other artists.

After he died, he chewed out someone who was leaving him to work for George Michael.
I guess there is an afterlife.
Agh, early morning, pre-coffee slip - I meant after Prince died, it came out that etc etc

We are coming up to the 20th anniversary of her first retirement.― Andrew Farrell, Monday, June 7, 2021 6:14 PM (two days ago)

Unretired:
Good news. Fuck retiring. I retract. Am not retiring. I was temporarily allowing pigs in lipstick to fuck my head up... here's my statement..... in the form of these three photos. It's 'colourful' but that's me : ) #LetOConnorBeOConnor pic.twitter.com/wKoEKFANPk— Sinead O'Connor (Shuhada Sadaqat) (@MagdaDavitt77) June 7, 2021

By the way, non-UK ILXors won't be aware of the, er, interesting family history of Emma Barnett (presenter of Women's Hour) who Sinead singles out for particular opprobrium. Tittle tattle, for sure, but fascinating:
During Barnett's teenage years, her father ran brothels in the Greater Manchester area. The family home had been used for publicity shoots of some of the women and the recording of sex films. Previously convicted of "living off immoral earnings" and handed a suspended sentence,[7] in 2008 Barnett's father was sentenced to imprisonment for keeping brothels and controlling the prostitution of a trafficked woman; her mother received a suspended sentence for money laundering related to income from the brothels.[8][9][10] Barnett attended Manchester High School for Girls, an independent school.

hazards of listening to Sinead albums in late pregnancy: came completely unglued listening to “Black Boys on Mopeds,” suddenly sobbing on the drive to work. What a great song.

i'm pretty much banned from listening to sinead o connor in the flat because of some petty feud my bf has personally with her dating back to 80s dublin which i m sure nobody remembers but him

“Three Babies” also brought a tear to my eye on my commute this morning.
I listen to Lion and the Cobra a lot more frequently lately; I forgot how good I Do Not Want is

Has any American #1 album ever had a B-side that gets steadily quieter but intenser?

i do not want is pretty much a recent discovery, i've always loved the lion and the cobra. Mandinka! Troy!

I think all the time about the bit in jackie where she sings 'you're all wrong i said and they stared at the sand' like i fucking bet they did!

her statement about coming out of retirement made me think of the Tina Turner documentary on HBO and how she couldn’t escape relentless questioning about Ike after she told the story of his abuse. (Obvs Turner has a v different way of engaging with the world.)
Sinead is always being portrayed as a madwoman but I feel like time has vindicated her on most scores. A Cassandra.
― horseshoe, Thursday, 10 June 2021 20:06 (two years ago) link
She is on some real terrifying oracular shit throughout Lion and the Cobra
― horseshoe, Thursday, 10 June 2021 20:07 (two years ago) link
oh yeah, definitely its sortof infuriating how vindicated she is but how little that seems to affect the way she continues to be treated
― plax (ico), Thursday, 10 June 2021 20:11 (two years ago) link
what's the perception/treatment of her in Ireland these days?
― mark e. smith-moon (f. hazel), Thursday, 10 June 2021 20:22 (two years ago) link
i think the same as elsewhere, somewhat affectionate but dismissive. she is funny, articulate, but ultimately tragic, fallen and not to be taken too seriously. the video i posted above is a few years old but i think a great example of how she's dismissed even as/especially because she punctures the fatuous platforms that infuriatingly she continues to engage with
― plax (ico), Thursday, 10 June 2021 20:28 (two years ago) link
I think there's definitely if not a generation then a sub-generational grouping, overwhelmingly women, to who she's incredibly important and emblematic both for what she's done and what's been done to her.

I wish I was able to see her with Sly & Robbie. I love that not only did she record with them but she shelled out to take them on tour, too.

I’m going to take private time now to grieve my son. When I am ready I will be telling exactly how the Irish State in the ignorant, evil, self-serving, lying forms of Tusla and the HSE enabled and facilitated his death. Magdalene Ireland never went away. Ask the youth.

She was backed by Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce on her first North American tour. My jaw dropped when I recognized them on stage.
I cannot imagine anything worse, on a personal level, than losing a child.
