- "Heroine" (The Edge feat. Sinead O'Connor, Captive Soundtrack) In a rare venture outside of U2, guitarist The Edge helped score the 1986 film Captive — and for the lone vocal track on the album, enlisted 19-year-old Sinead O’Connor to sing and co-write the song.
- "Mandinka" (The Lion and the Cobra) More than two years before rocketing to stardom, O’Connor released this fiery, guitar-driven track as the second single from her bracing 1987 debut album, The Lion and the Cobra.
- "I Want Your (Hands on Me)" (The Lion and the Cobra) “Funky” is probably not a word most commonly associated with an artist as impassioned and frequently downright polemical as O’Connor, but it’s a fair fit for the seductive “I Want Your (Hands on Me),” third single from The Lion and the Cobra.
- "Drink Before the War" (The Lion and The Cobra) The penultimate track on her 1987 debut The Lion and the Cobra, “Drink Before the War” feels like a poetic dispatch from the Troubles in Northern Ireland.
Jul 26, 2023 · By Jon Pareles. Published July 26, 2023 Updated July 28, 2023. Sinead O’Connor did not hold back. Not her voice, not her ideas, not her troubles, not her rage, not her sorrows, not her faith.

- ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ (1990) “As far as I’m concerned, it’s my song,” O’Connor once said — and she was right. “Nothing Compares 2 U” may be the only time a singer out-performed Prince on one of his own songs, with O’Connor funneling a lifetime’s worth of anguish into one of the greatest heartbreak ballads ever recorded.
- ‘Drink Before the War’ (1987) O’Connor was 15 and full of teenage angst when she wrote this eviscerating dirge about a man — the headmaster of her Catholic school, it turns out — determined to smother creativity.
- ‘Mandinka’ (1987) The shaved head that greeted record buyers on the cover of The Lion and the Cobra instantly set O’Connor apart. But “Mandinka” made it clear that everything about her was about to rewrite the rules of pop.
- ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’ (1990) This standout from I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got sounds upbeat — even jangly. But the subject matter isn’t exactly bright.
