Not my all time favorite singer, but Sinead was a rare talent regardless. My favorite Sinead O'Connor album is her Irish folk album titled Sean Nas Nua. Check it out.
It's not really fair that her fame was mostly from a Prince cover song, that kind of belittles her talent to the equivalent of Bananarama, who were famous for the same reason (I'm Your Venus). But really, she's a fantastic singer who chose to throw her career and life away.

Prince co-opted another good band, The Bangles. Prince was an epic artist. But he sidelined several other great rock artists.

I used to like The Bangles. Susanna Hoffs (lead singer) was hot.

Prince wrote "Manic Monday". That was The Bangles' big hit comparable to "Nothing Compares".
But when the Bangles were an indie rock band, before they met Prince, they did better work.

I'd say "Eternal Flame"is The Bangles' big hit, which they wrote themselves (BUT it was written after they got famous thanks to "Manic Monday").
