I'm having a back to back Suzanne Vega album listen.
My Top 10 (so far) would be:
1) In Liverpool 2) Marlene On The Wall 3) Blood Makes Noise 4) Solitude Standing 5) When Heroes Go Down 6) Gypsy 7) Luka 8) Left Of The Centre 9) No Cheap Thrill 10) Tom's Diner
99.9F is my favourite Vega album by a long stretch........
....anyone else care to fawn over Suzanne Vega?

The only 2 songs I even know are Marlene On The Wall and Tom's Diner. Love both so maybe I should check one of her albums out. Which should I try first?

Her big NM hit was Luka which reached #2. Marlene On The Wall hadn't even reached my chart.

There are a load of bootleg mixes of Tom's Diner
Kenny Blake released a remake in 2000 - could it be that?

'Luka' only got to # 23 ? Great song.It still gets played on radio,which probably made me think it had been a bigger hit. I loved 'Toms Diner',and I kinda liked 'Marlene On The Wall'.I don't know her other songs.
