A Little Sade Before the Night’s Over

Start with “The Sweetest Taboo.” Let “Hang On to Your Love” keep things moving, then settle into “No Ordinary Love.” That’s the order for this JetSet pick, though nobody’s stopping you from running the first one back.

Sade’s November 14 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction gives us a good excuse to spend some time with these records. We’ve picked the studio recordings from Promise, Diamond Life and Love Deluxe, so you can hear how the band’s sound changes across those three albums.

These are our selections, rather than a chart of listener votes or a prediction of the induction-night set list.

Which one gets the replay?
