Classic Albums. Hosted by Stevie Nix
Not all albums stand the test of time, but plenty do and Australian music critic Stevie Nix will bring one to you each week. He'll cover all eras and most genres and tell you why each record is so revered and, equally, why it deserves to be. And he only uses six songs to do it.

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got by Sinead O'Connor

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.
