Sinéad O'Connor's rendition of Prince's "Nothing Compares 2 U" marked a turning point in '90s rock, upstaging the original version and ushering in a new wave of female rockers.

While she didn't reach the same chart success again, her influence on artists like Courtney Love, Shirley Manson, Alanis Morissette, Fiona Apple, and Dolores O'Riordan is undeniable.
