"Forever Your Girl" would have been such an amazing song if they'd given it to somebody who could sing.
Bonnie Raitt wins this one but I never liked Sinead.

have there been any recent analogs to the bonnie raitt album? 40-yr-old journeyman, respected but never quite a star, suddenly breaking through big nearly 20 years into her/his career? seemed like in the mid-'80s to early '90s there were a lot of aging boomers who had hit records, but maybe that was a phenomenon particular to the era.

Carlos Santana's "Supernatural", maybe? Sure, he was a already a star but nothing like what he became. And he hadn't had a proper hit since the 70's. Can't think of an example from the 2000's.
As for the poll, it's Sinead, easily.

I voted for Milli Vanilli.
Me voting for a somewhat disappointing Phil Collins album here says more about the rest. Sinead O'Connor comes close though.

Luck of the Draw is the better album anyway.

Yeah, blue dress should have been one of the poll choices.

I used to own ...But Seriously. I still remember Sarah Cracknell's remarks about Collins in this period: "When he sang that song about the homeless, and he wondered, `Tell me why?' I thought, `Because you have all the money, you bald bastard.'"

Yellow-checkered Chess King shirt dude has, appropriately enough, a fucking giraffe neck. Anyway, Sinead.

Mirrored glasses dude on far left has a well packed fly. Sinead.

The six votes for Hammer ARE a surprise.

0 for vanilla ice is a surprise. I thought there would be at least one joker
