Song of the Day: "Nothing Compares 2 U"

ARTIST: The Family
TITLE: "Nothing Compares 2 U"
YEAR: 1985

For whatever reason, this song (written by Prince and later made into a huge worldwide hit by Sinéad O'Connor) entered my head today and I just had to hear it again. I'm not sure what it is about the delivery here - probably the "oh oh oh oh" parts - but I love it. Such a great song. All kinds of awesome.

You can hear the song as part of this podcast. If you'd like to own it on CD... well, good luck. It comes from The Family's eponymous album, and while that is available on a CD, it's rare. You can probably find a copy at various online sites, but expect to shell out a good amount of dough for it.
