Suzanne Vega only has one album out. It is called "Suzanne Vega" and was released, I believe, several months ago. It is a complete masterpiece, and should even be perfectly accessible to those who cannot stomach the weird exesses of Kate Bush. Her album is sort of somewhat avant-garde folk, I suppose, and seems to have some Windom Hill influences (though Windom Hill is often considered jazz -- I'm not sure why...) and a little tiny bit of Laurie Anderson influence too, maybe?
