Comment:

"Calling All Angels," sing pop-rock messengers Train, and their soaring song of hope could serve as a title theme for our [i]Angels[/i] Essentials, a playlist packed with tracks that describe the perfection of those citizens of the sky with wings, harps, and haloes, not to mention their closest counterparts here on Earth. So where Sarah McLachlan's tender "Angel" makes a lyrical wish for the comfort of a divine guardian, Tavares transforms a chestnut pick-up line into a disco classic on "Heaven Must Be Missing an Angel," and Elvis Costello swaps standout footwear for eternal youth on the new-wave standard "(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes." Then again, if any artists were suited to singing about angels, it would be Roy Orbison, whose spine-tingling falsetto lofts the tear-jerking ballad "Blue Angel" into the stratosphere; and Sinéad O'Connor, whose own ethereal pipes transport listeners of her bittersweet "Angel" into a whole other world.
