I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got by Sinead O'Connor
from Classic Albums. Hosted by Stevie Nix · host Stevie Nix
I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got is a statement of commitment to authenticity, to speaking truth regardless of consequence, to transforming imperfection into art. It shows a young woman who understood she couldn't change everything, or maybe anything, but was determined to try anyway. That determination, that refusal to compromise her voice or her vision is a testament to the power of artistic courage in the face of personal and political turmoil. It remains, decades later, both beautiful and compelling — a near-perfect work of flawed mortality.Featured songs:Nothing Compares 2 UThe Emperor’s New ClothesThree BabiesI Am Stretched On Your GraveBlack Boys On MopedsI Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got
