ItemImageElectronic before it was cool. After briefly entering the mainstream pop radar in 1981 with her lone hit "O Superman," Laurie Anderson enjoyed a public visibility greater than virtually any other avant-garde figure of her era. Her infrequent forays into rock aside, Anderson nevertheless remained firmly grounded within the realm of performance art, her ambitious multimedia projects encompassing not only music but also film, mime, visual projections, dance, and — most importantly — spoken and written language, the cornerstone of all of her work. ...

Usually though of as a Performance Artist first, Anderson should be considered based on the quality of the album "Strange Angels." which is her most musical and most accessible work. It is uplifting at times, and at other times, it is pure fun. As for her other work, "Big Science" and "Sharkey's Day" stand out for me.

First off - if it actually matters - she isn't even rock 'n' roll. Anderson's a classically trained, avant-garde intellectual, minimalist composer/performance artist and violinist. Her trademark underground "hit" - 1981's "O Superman" - is not exactly headbanger material. Though her social commentatory is frequently thought-provoking and her musical approach stimulating, few would seriously consider her for placement in the the Hall of Fame.

A bit too offbeat for my tastes. "O Superman" is a borefest.
