Me too.

Here are some of the ones that I would suggest:

"More Than You Do"

"Pretty Baby"

"C.Y.A.M.G." ('Cause You Are My Girl)

"The Ballad Of Lonesome Rhodes"
"When Night Was Calling"

"Euphoria"
"I Never Know"

"Because You've Changed"

"This Town"

"Ooh Carolina"

"Honestly"

"Duchess"

Ultimately, it's all subjective.

And YES, I know, he's not really that great as a musician, but then again, neither am I.

Hi, Personally I feel that Sananda's best work with the exception of ITHATTTD is everything from Wildcard to now. You can hear the freedom on all of these albums and it's wonderful. He obviously has a fanbase and a strong one at that as he is prolific with each release giving at least 2 albums worth of tracks.

Try "It ain't been easy", "Bella Faccina" and "right brain says" from Angels & Vampires album. "If I just stay with you", "Where did the money go" and "Superstar" from Nigor Mortis. "Azerbaijan", "The quaterback song" and "she's sad" from The Sphinx. "Stagger Lee pts 1 & 2", "Just go easy" and "If I go away" on Return to zooathalon. "Giraffe", "They went back in time and killed robert johnson", "Yes you" and "We can all go home" from Rise of the zugebrian timelords. "U cried a river", "She'll tell me" and "Amoeba" from Pandora & Prometheus.

Can't comment on the new release yet as I haven't give it enough time yet. There are a lot of songs to go through and they are the type of songs, in my opinion, that need multiple listens before sinking in. His lyrics are bizarre, the mastering is not the absolute best but each and every release has his heart on a sleeve and all have their merits. Give them a try on a streaming platform and give them time cos once you do they'll stay with you because as far as I'm concerned he's a genius let loose and that does not happen very often in the music world. Fall in love with them then order the CD's from his site and lets keep him going because we dont have many left from his era.

More of a Terence Trent D'arby fan

Thanks Germanegro. I've noticed that on here too and never quite understood it. I love all of Sananda's work but the independant stuff is just so good, untouched by the opinions of committee and just honest, great work...with arguably the best voice that's ever been commited to recording. I honestly don't think that many people on here have listened to all of his back catalogue and give him a fair chance...I think a lot would be pleasantly surprised.

I also listen to Bilal Oliver a lot as his wings have been unclipped and he does what the hell he wants, when he wants and every album he has dropped is amazing. Getting into Tyler The Creator at the moment and get the same vibe from him (I'm nearly 50 so this is a major embarrassment for my 12 yr old son) but genius is genius and along, of course with Prince and Michael both Jackson and George these artists are very special, very talented and I'm greatful that we can enjoy their music and view of the world because life would be a whole lot duller without them.

I have listend 2 99% of his Sananda releases and I must say that 95% of of it leaves me empty.

Personal favourites include:

Has It Been Too Quiet?

It Ain't Been Easy

Brimstone Follies

DFM (Don't Follow Me)

Save Me

When Night Was Calling

Sometimes You Gotta Cry

OK

If I Were

At The Crossroads

All The Way To Memphis

Return To Zooathalon

Blanket On The Ground

The Laughing Song

This Town

With A Girl Like You (the live version he did on Italian TV is superior to the studio version)

South Side Run

Interesting to see that of those of us who have listed tracks, we have by and large produced completely different lists. I truly love the songs I listed above, but there are many songs in those other lists that I would keep away from the ears of those I am trying to impress. That's subjectivity for you.

I had this daydream of getting S to Paisley Park (or any recording studio) and re-recording 20 of his Post-Millennium rock songs with some form of the NPG (like Michael B and Sonny T) and seeing what they would come up with.
