I thought I was the only one here who loves these!

[Johnny Stew]

I'll give this a shot.... though I usually love even my "least favorites"....


'Bella Donna':
Favorite = "Outside The Rain"
Least Favorite = "Think About It"

'The Wild Heart':
Favorite = "Beauty And The Beast"
Least Favorite = "Gate And Garden"

'Rock A Little':
Favorite = "If I Were You"
Least Favorite = "Sister Honey"

'The Other Side Of The Mirror':
Favorite = "Ooh My Love"
Least Favorite = "Long Way To Go"

'Street Angel':
Favorite = "Kick It"
Least Favorite = "Docklands"

'Trouble In Shangri-La':
Favorite = "Trouble In Shangri-La"
Least Favorite - "That Made Me Stronger"

[TwoTricky]

OK....here we go...

BELLA DONNA:

Favorite: Kind of Woman
Least Favorite: How Still My Love

THE WILD HEART:

Favorite: Wild Heart
Least Favorite: (this is very hard!!) Gate and Garden

ROCK A LITTLE:

Favorite: No Spoken Word
Least Favorite: The Nightmare

OTHERSIDE OF THE MIRROR:

Favorite: Juliet
Least Favorite: Cry Wolf

STREET ANGEL:

Favorite: Greta
Least Favorite: Love Is Like A River

TROUBLE IN SHANGRI-LA:

Favorite: (call me crazy!!) That Made Me Stronger
Least Favorite: Bombay Sapphire

[dissention]

My list:

Bella Donna-
Fave: Outside the Rain
Least Fave: Think About It (I *never* listen to it)

Wild Heart-
Fave: Sable On Blonde (absolutely gorgeous!)
Least Fave: If Anyone Falls

Rock A Little-
Fave: No Spoken Word
Least Fave: Rock A Little (truly dreadful, IMO)

Other Side of the Mirror-
Fave: Long Way To Go (love the beat, the lyrics, the vocal)
Least Fave: Ghosts (I think this ranks as one of her worst)

Street Angel-
Fave: Love Is Like A River (incomprehensible hack-job but it's the best rocker)
Least Fave: Docklands (how do I hate thee? ah, let me count the ways!)

Trouble In Shangri-La-
Fave: Trouble In Shangri-La (some of her best lyrics EVER)
Least Fave: That Made Me Stronger (self-indulgent and just plain bleh)

Between the three Timespace songs, I'd say that Sometimes It's A Bitch is the best one. Love's A Hard Game has incredibly cheesy lyrics and I don't have the patience for Desert Angel to ever listen to it. :D

Ugh: Leather & Lace

Trouble In Shangri-La
Yay: That Made Me Stronger
Ugh: Too Far From Texas


There ARE some leftover "yays" & "ughs" (including tunes from Timespace and Enchanted as well as CD singles & soundtracks):
