"Rivers of Babylon" compares poorly with the definitive version by the greatest San Antonio, Texas, musician ever recorded, Mr. Steve Earl, he of "Guitar Town" fame.

It seems telling and very interesting that her lyrics of "Rivers of Babylon" contain a totally different personal pronoun (and no chorus) than the version recorded by the greatest San Antonio musician ever, Mr. Steve Earl! Sinead has long been a favorite, no matter what Joe Piscopo or Fran Sinatra think of her.God, Bless America! Just listened to “The London” disc.

It is rich with meaning and transparent struggle w/ God. Awesome stuff. I can't imagine what the world would be like if "commercial" music all went in the direction that this album goes. Seriously. I think we are all starving for authentic art. Yes, that’s a classic. the whole album is just so different than anything out there. It is rich with meaning and transparent struggle w/ God.

I love the music--particularly "If You Had A Vineyard," from the Book of Isaiah. She really crafted a classic with that song and the others. Great assesment of a great, spirutally masterful album.
