Conversely, I find I tend to give too much thought to Annie Lennox...because I keep expecting her music to be so much more interesting than it ever actually is. She seems to check off all the boxes: Great vocal chops, yep. Eclectic aesthetic, yep. Embraces style but not over (or at the expense of) substance, check. Able to combine deep subject matter with fertile compression of ideas/words, check.

^^^That ought to be a recipe for an artist whom I would adore, respect, admire, and want to collect their entire catalog. And yet I listen to Annie's music and I am mostly bored, usually underwhelmed, and always disappointed.

But she did tear up that version of "Under Pressure", no denying that.
