Thank you, I had completely forgotten about that album. I admire her for standing up to the pressures of the music industry and going ahead with that record as it was. I will check it out again more closely in a new light..

I'd also put forward Public Enemy's It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back and Fear of a Black Planet as two very important and successful socially conscious albums from that same period.

Any others?
