Her Best Song

[Meowi]

Choose your fave song. I have not included demos/outakes becuase there not actual songs that the 'others' know about.

[vivfox]

Gold Dust Woman.

[daniellaaarisen]

Gold Dust Woman.

Traitor!!!!!! Although you chose my 2nd favorite because lyrically, it is like 50 different kinds of brilliant. Yet of course, I choose....



RHIANNON. This shouldn't surprise anyone. It's just perfect in every day.

What version of Rhiannon do you like the most? The orginal?

For me its a toss up between The Dance and Rosebud

[Matthew]

STAND BACK FOREVER :nod:

I like the midnight special version! She is so mystical and rockish

[StreetAngel86]

FMac - Rhiannon... from the Dance.
it was the first song i downloaded off Napster in 98. it turned me from casual listener to obsessed

Solo - Doing the Best I Can {but i really wanna say Street Angel :laugh: coz it's a tie}

and it wasnt asked for but...

Demo - Prettiest Girl in the World/Beautiful Ghost

SOTM
Which Rhiannon is the one with the tree/moon in the background, Rosebud or Midnight Special? Sorry new to all of this (Stevie/Fleetwood Mac/Ledge)

[addiejean]

Landslide.

[chriskisn]

That is a hard question...

I think I'd go with Doing The Best That I Can (Escape From Berlin)

Just love that song...

[Travis]

Way too many best and or favorites to pick, impossible to choose just one ...

TWISTED
My personal favorite is "Twisted" with Lindsey. I played it the other day (after not having heard it in a while) and I was reminded just how much I love it.

STAND BACK
I'm also forever partial to "Stand Back." It was the song/video that really introduced me to Stevie.

Other worthy mentions that are my favorites:
Think About It
Gypsy
Nightbird
Sister Honey
Seven Wonders
Ooh My Love
Freedom
Desert Angel
Blue Denim
Planets of the Universe
Destiny Rules

[TheWILDheart]

I think they both have the trees in the background. Here is midnight special:

With Fleetwood Mac, it would without a doubt be Sara. Most beautiful song of all time. Solo, I'd pick Beauty and The Beast.

[Christopher]

This is sooo hard. I actually love almost everything Stevie does w/F Mac or solo. Faves constantly shift.
My favorite songs and the reason are:

Mac: "SARA" I was 11 when this was a top 10 hit in the spring of 1980. and my brother & I wore out this 45" single. This song and her vocal are so haunting...and not typical of anything else on top 40 radio as well as "Tusk"at that time.) I couldn't afford the whole double album at the time. It was only after "Bella Donna" & the her HBO concert special that I went ravinous for everything about Stevie Nicks. I then went out & bought the Heavy Metal sdtk for "Blue Lamp" and the 3 Buckingham/Nicks Mac records.

Solo: "EDGE OF 17" It was late summer of 81' and SDMHA was already a smash single (which I loved) but I remember very vividly turning on the radio and hearing the last 3 min of "Edge" That voice, That vocal...The urgent and rockin' rhythm...I stood still literally! The song ended and another one played, this was AOR rock radio at the time, playing deep cuts from most records. I never heard the DJ announce who that song was by, but deep down I knew it hadto be Stevie (no one else sounded like that)....went out an bought BD and searched everysong til atlas I found it on side 2.

As a side note, I remember being a little bemused by BD....SDMHA & EDGE were great rocking songs....I thought the whole record would be like a Pat Benatar record, only better because I LOVED Stevie's voice and persona better....I was taken back by it's county rock vibe & it took more than a few plays to fall in love with it, which of course I did and wore it out...and thus beginning my unwavering Stevie fandom all these years

[louielouie2000]

Mac: Gold Dust Woman. It was the song that bit me 17 years ago, and gave me the Mac bug. It's still probably the tightest, most textbook example of Stevie-dom. :laugh:

Other notables include:
Storms
Beautiful Child

Solo: How Still My Love... so sultry!

Other notables include:
Outside The Rain
Battle Of The Dragon
Touched By An Angel
Blue Denim

[Sanne2]

With FM: Silver Springs/ Fireflies
Solo: Beauty And The Beast

[thatgirlwasme]

This is tough . . .

FM: Angel
Solo: I can't decide between Bella Donna and Stand Back

A

[Meowi]

Long Distance Winner.

I love that song! :wavey:

[Sleepless-Child]

That's just too hard.
I think that her best song with FM is Rhiannon, and probably her best song of all time (Gold Dust is close).
And it might be my second favorite, after Dreams...I know, cliche, but I'll never get tired of it. EVERY TIME I hear the first two seconds, with the drums and then the music, I have chills.
Solo : Outside the rain AND How Still my love (can't choose, just too beautiful and sexy, and everything). Bella Donna's close.

[Rod]

Sara. But Gypsy is very close.

[Skyveris]

With FM: Gypsy (!). Honorable Mention: Rhiannon

Solo: How Still My Love. Honorable Mention: Edge of Seventeen

-Matt

[GypsyBlueEyes]

This is just too hard...totally impossible! You've all listed great choices though.

[LorraineRN]

I think they both have the trees in the background. Here is midnight special: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROsqq7Nn3eU i got it now THANKS

[WarmSir3]

Beauty and the Beast!

[hippilil86]

Gold Dust Woman IS Stevie Nicks for me.

So that's what I'd choose. Yes, please.

[golddustdrummer]

for me, its an unwavering tie between Gypsy and Gold Dust Woman.

[ragrsrocalot]

Her Best- Fleetwood Mac- Rhiannon
Her Best- Solo- Edge of 17

[singatnight]

Fleetwood Mac: Sara

Solo: Belladonna

tough decisions.....

[mylittledemon]

Rhiannon, Landslide, Dreams, Sara, Stand Back, Gypsy, or Edge of Seventeen.

Hard for me to pick just one. ;)

[daniellaaarisen]

For me its a toss up between The Dance and Rosebud

I'm glad you appreciate The Dance's version. I think that's the last time we've seen her really slip into the song and its full character. The ending is intense.

I love Rosebud (obviously), Mobile 8/11/80, Midnight Special, and Nashville 5/21/77. I have like, 80 versions of the song but I think those are my top 5.

Could you do a favor and post the Nashville version? I don't believe I have that one.

Oui, bien sur! :)

It's in my Live Rhiannons folder, that holds only a few of my favorites:

I love Paris, too.

[Sleepless-Child]

Oui, bien sur!

Thanks a lot, amazing live version !
Glad that someone speaks French here :)

Ma famille est francaise, oui. J'espere que je pourrai accomplir une partie de mon enseignement superieur a le Sorbonne. Je peux rever…. :)

[SpyNote]

There are so many, but I'd say Gypsy. Landslide is probably her greatest money maker.

I just noticed that many of her other great songs start with the letter "S"... Silver Springs, Sara, Storms, Sisters of the Moon, Sleeping Angel, Stand Back.

[Sleepless-Child]

Ma famille est francaise, oui. J'espere que je pourrai accomplir une partie de mon enseignement superieur a le Sorbonne. Je peux rever….

Pourtant, je pense que la Sorbonne est accessible, pour qui veut vraiment y entrer. Le français n'a visiblement pas l'air d'être un soucis, en plus :)

[Meowi]

Has anyone noticed that SOTM 'feels' like GDW, or Dream, Rhiannon and Sara shar that same bond?

[daniellaaarisen]

Je ne parle pas la langue tres bien. Je veux etre meilleur! Je ne suis pas a l'aise, mais je peux parler assez bien.... pour le petit entretien. :shrug:

Habites-tu en France, n'est-ce pas? J'ai un peu de famille a LeVesinet et Grenoble.

Je trouve que tu parles très bien, le français est difficile ! Et si tu veux faire des progrès, rien de mieux que de venir habiter en France quelques temps. Je suis sûre qu'en 3 mois, tu auras tout appris et tu parleras couramment :).
Oui, j'habite en France, dans une toute petite ville, et personnellement c'est l'inverse, j'aimerais partir..
