Favorite song she DIDNT write...

[GypsyBoy87]

Out of all of stevies songs she has recorded BUT she didnt write ( this does not count covers!) what is ur favorite?
mine would deff have to be Talk To Me

[diamondsnake]

And the people that roam the Docklands!!!

[amber]

Seven Wondahs, of course.
evah, evah, evah, evah!!! :laugh:

[GypsyBoy87]

Seven Wondahs, of course.
evah, evah, evah, evah!!! :laugh:

o i love that one as well

[Dark Angel]

Out of all of stevies songs she has recorded BUT she didnt write ( this does not count covers!) what is ur favorite?

A tie between Talk To Me and Somebody Stand By Me.

[dissention]

It's Only Love. A darn fine song.

[GardenStateGirlie]

It's Only Love. A darn fine song.

Agreed. Also, my beloved Some Become Strangers.

[GypsySorcerer]

It's Only Love. A darn fine song.

Same here. Actually, I don't care for many of the songs that aren't hers (Talk to Me, Seven Wonders, etc)

[ontheEdgeof17]

Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind

I Will Run To You

Some Become Strangers


....just to name a few

[dissention]

Same here. Actually, I don't care for many of the songs that aren't hers (Talk to Me, Seven Wonders, etc)

I don't care for them either. They rarely seem to fit in thematically and quality-wise with the rest of the material (Too Far From Texas, Every Day, Docklands, Talk To Me, etc.).

[GateandGarden]

#1 fave she didn't write is "Every Day," no contest.

Also "Seven Wonders" and "Talk to Me"

[Stevie_Buck]

Gonna get flack for this one... :shrug:

...Sometimes It's a Bitch. :rolleyes:

[amber]

Naw, we can form a club, with just two people - The Two People Who Like SIAB Club! :lol:
Sesly, I like it quite a bit. :)

[Dreammms]

It's Only Love. A darn fine song.


Sherly's version is better.

[Livia]

Naw, we can form a club, with just two people - The Two People Who Like SIAB Club! :lol:
Sesly, I like it quite a bit. :)

I also love SIAB! I love that it was written specifically for, and about, Stevie. Don't know if it's my fave, I have to ponder on that one...

[diamondsnake]

I forgot about Sometimes it's a Bitch and I forgot about Seven Wonders. I love those songs too.

[amber]

I also love SIAB! I love that it was written specifically for, and about, Stevie. Don't know if it's my fave, I have to ponder on that one...
Yay! three members! It's not my fave, either, but I like it. It seems so simple and true, to me. :p And great for Stevie, as well. I'm kind of sorry she herself doesn't like it, if that's true. And the video is great, what with all those clips. mmmm, clips.

[krrrby]

some become strangers...

I'm such a rock-a-little-nut :lol:

[dissention]

Sherly's version is better.

I think so, too, but I also think Stevie's version is a highlight on TISL. :nod:

[amber]

some become strangers...

I'm such a rock-a-little-nut :lol:
:xoxo:
I think so, too, but I also think Stevie's version is a highlight on TISL.
I'm suprised you like that song so much. :confused: Now I'm imagining you meeting your match while passing round the candle light. :laugh: Sesly, though. I like it okay, it's better than other TISL songs. Plus, it's all sappy..."ah, if only love comes round again..." :laugh: That's so cute you like this song. :D

[golden braid]

Another fan here of SIAB! I like some Bon Jovi so that probably has something to do with it. I also like some Poison but I've never been able to really get into Love's a Hard Game to Play.

[DrummerDeanna]

I? LOVE Sometimes It's a Bitch :nod: Love it.

So that would be my favorite followed by:

Somebody Stand By Me
Everyday
Seven Wonders

[sarafield]

:xoxo:

I'm suprised you like that song so much. :confused: Now I'm imagining you meeting your match while passing round the candle light. :laugh:

I think this line is perfect for Stevie! She's always all "we met at a party and our eyes locked across a crowded room... it was magic and we just knew." It's such a sweet, spare song. Still... I love Seven Wonders from my youth, so while not the better song, it's my favorite. That's my vote.

I love it. Great lyrics, sparse instrumentation (compared to some of the dense sludge on TISL), and a great vocal from Stevie. Sounds like she smoked a pack of cigs beforehand, but it suits the song.

Sheryl's version, though, wow. What a knockout. :nod:

I've never heard Sheryl's. But you think those are great lyrics? surpised, me. I mean, I don't think they're that bad, but...
I figured a lot of what you liked might be the sparse instrumentation, though. :nod:
and, hey, when does stevie not sound like she smoked a pack? :lol:
I like it okay, but, strangely, it's a bit sappy for me. Or maybe I just don't love the note choice. I dunno. It's pretty good, though. :nod: I like it okay. TISL is not my favorite album, anyway, so it's hard to judge.

[rbs3676]

Stop Draggin' My Heart Around get's my vote.
What can I say? Petty rocks... :wavey:

rbs

[diamondsnake]

I love Gold and Braid!

I know Stevie wrote that song, but I just thought I'd let everyone know that it's my favorite song in the world.

[diamondsnake]

Okay everybody hold it!!! I had no idea Tom Petty wrote "I Will Run To You" so that song gets my vote.

[catinthedark]

Sign me up for that Sometime's It's a Bitch club... love the song - LOVE the video even more.

But it's not my fave not-written-by-her. That would have to be I Will Run To You, followed closely by Stop Draggin My Heart Around, Talk to Me, and Seven Wonders.

[jwd]

Stop Draggin' My Heart Around, ooooh ooooh oooooooooh

[lbelle1214]

I forgot about Sometimes it's a Bitch and I forgot about Seven Wonders. I love those songs too.
Yep, Sometimes It's A Bitch....my own personal anthem!

[ontheEdgeof17]

Yep, Sometimes It's A Bitch....my own personal anthem!

My anthem is Sometimes I'm A Bitch.

[diamondsnake]

My anthem is Sometimes I'm A Bitch.

I don't find that hard to believe. :xoxo:

[lbelle1214]

My anthem is Sometimes I'm A Bitch.
Ya know, I really didn't realize how that sounded until after I posted! :lol:

[LiquidBlue5000]

"Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind" :nod:


... oh, and "Stand Back" ;)

[Hawkeye]

Stop Draging My Heart Around or Docklands.

[LiquidBlue5000]

Stop Draging My Heart Around or Docklands.

Docklands??? for real? :confused:

[diamondsnake]

Docklands??? for real? :confused:
Docklands just plain rocks. Give it another listen LiquidBlue and maybe it will turn you on this time. Or maybe I'm just wierd. I've always loved the song.

[CreepingDeath]

My favorite: I Will Run To You

Others-

Some Become Strangers <3
Seven Wonders
It's Only Love
Everyday
Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind

[svnwndrs]

I can't pick just ONE favorite of mine that she didn't write so here are the ones that popped in my head first:

Seven Wonders :xoxo:
Docklands
Some Become Strangers
Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind

[LiquidBlue5000]

Docklands just plain rocks. Give it another listen LiquidBlue and maybe it will turn you on this time. Or maybe I'm just wierd. I've always loved the song.


maybe if i listened to it at the laundromat, i might start to like it ;)


nah... "Docklands" just bores me, much like the rest of Street Angel (except for the masterpiece which is "Maybe Love" :D )

i just can't like that song no matter how much i try... in fact, along with "Affairs Of The Heart", it's my least favorite of hers all-time...

[diamondsnake]

haha chris

nah i love affairs of the heart too.

One set of doors was the color of honey
One set of doors was pink and grey
Well I wonder which set is mine, said she
As she walked down the long hallway
Well I wonder which set of rooms are mine
For in these rooms she would live and die

:lol:

[gldstwmn]

Cry Wolf. :laugh:

[Dreammms]

Cry Wolf. :laugh:

omg how could i forget that one

what a stinker l :laugh:

edit: i didnt realize you put this as your favorite song stevie didn't write. wow!

[dissention]

Nah. Affairs of the Heart is greatness. :nod:

Well, it's better to have brushed and flossed
Than never to have brushed at all
Yes, it's better to have flossed and brushed
Than to always have stank breath
In your mouth

I've been singing that for ages whenever that stupid song comes on when I'm playing Behind the Mask.

[ryan8472]

My fav. is definitely Seven Wonders. :nod: :thumbsup:

[KarmaContestant]

Favorite song Stevie didn't write, but isn't a cover: Seven Wonders. That was the easiest answer ever.

Honorable mention to: Talk To Me

[CreepingDeath]

Well, it's better to have brushed and flossed

Yes, it's better to have flossed and brushed

Seven Wonders, though I like most of the others, too.

It does have a good vocal.

This and Alice are probably my least favorite Stevie releases ever. JMO. :distress:

- Jake

[EveryHour]

Naw, we can form a club, with just two people - The Two People Who Like SIAB Club! :lol:
Sesly, I like it quite a bit. :)

Add a third. It's by no means anywhere near a favorite, and I think some of the lyrics are goofy and sound particularly cliche when Stevie sings them: "I've run through rainbows and castles of candy" :eek: , and I think the middle eight is quite anti-climatic, but her vocal is outstanding and she sings the lines that seem to really hit home with a lot of passion. Yes, the music sounds dated and it sucks what her record company "forced" her to do, but it's far from putrid IMO.

I was going to say Cry Wolf as my fave unwritten song (yes, I LOVE it!).

But as I thought about it, it became too difficult to decide. Seven Wonders, Some Become Strangers, Stop Draggin', I Will Run To You, and even Unconditional Love became contenders! :rolleyes:

[darklinensuit]

I was going to say Cry Wolf as my fave unwritten song (yes, I LOVE it!).

I was starting to think I was the only one who likes it. And I'm no TOSOTM fanatic.

- Jake

[diamondsnake]

I love this line from Cry Wolf...

Find yourself somebody new, to catch you when you fall. Because I've got just one thing to say to you and baby that's all.

I love the whole OSOTM album if you didn't already know.

Yay! :nod:

I particularly love all of the changes and expression in her voice on "If you start to stumble / If you start to crack / If you're feeling humble / Ooooh don't look back".

LOVE - IT!!!

(...As well as the entire OSOTM album. Sometimes, when I actually fool myself into thinking I could pick a favorite, I would pick this one. Love the tour too!)

I think her voice is sometimes flat or strained on parts of the album, but it's very expressive in this song.

I love how her voice sort of cracks when she says the word "crack"...

The whole album is great. It is an album where I can listen to the whole thing in one sitting without feeling the urge to hit the skip button and sometimes I can listen to the album multiple times before switching the CDs in my car.

[sparky]

It's Only Love. A darn fine song.

What he said.

[TheBlueLamp]

I'd say my favourite is between Cry Wolf, Sometimes It's A Bitch and Some Become Strangers. With Cry Wolf winning.

[Wild_Heart03]

Naw, we can form a club, with just two people - The Two People Who Like SIAB Club! :lol:
Sesly, I like it quite a bit. :)

You mean THREE people? I actually like SIAB quite a bit as well. :D

As for other songs: Talk To Me, Seven Wonders and Some Become Strangers would have to be my top three. :nod:

[tynan88]

I love Cry Wolf...hell I love all of OSOTM...but then again I have never heard Docklands, so I will probably love that =)

[trackaghost]

I prefer the songs Stevie writes herself, but Stop Draggin', Talk To Me, It's Only Love and Seven Wonders are definitely the best out of the ones she didn't write.

[eric51078]

Some Become Strangers and Talk To Me

[skcin]

Tough one.

Seven Wonders
It's Only Love
Talk To Me
Insider (I know, it's not really "hers" but who cares, it's perfect)

BTW - I? Am also a proud bitch. :nod: Always liked that song. Must be the 13 year old Bon Jovi fan that I was.

[nickslover2071]

My favs are "Talk To Me", "Seven Wonders", & "Some Become Strangers"

[Livia]

I love your South Park Stevie!! :)

[Highwayman]

Cry Wolf is the best. I loved this song from the first time I heard it. I think it is another missed opportunity for a hit single from that album. So much better than WLT...

IOL is really nice too, right up there with CW...

AOTH is wonderfully produced and great lyrics. Definitely one of the most cohesive song for her, especially considering the haze she was in at the time. One of my all time favorites of her own stuff (right behind Fireflies).

SIAB is good, but just too indulgent. The up-and-down in the chorus gets tiring. LAHGTP is a much better song, but the register is way too low (like Everyday)...

[face of glass]

For me it's a tie between "Talk To Me" and "Seven Wonders".

[Tango]

Reconsider Me

"Jimmy Iovine brought me this song, written by Warren Zevon.
I think Jimmy and I were fighting, and for some reason ....
I wasn't in a very "reconsider me" state of mind. I don't think
Jimmy ever forgave me for not trusting his judgement...
...So, Jimmy, here it is, little one. Better late than never.
And yes, Don Henley IS singing with me.
(And Warren, thank you ...)"

[SapphireSister]

Seven Wonders - Obvious choice

Cry Wolf- This is one of the most beautiful, heart felt songs I've ever heard it my life. Nearly brings me to tears every time I hear it. I am SO happy that some people have showed love for it in this thread. I was utterly shocked when I found out so many people dislike this song.

Some Become Strangers - One of the top 3 songs on RAL and one of my favorite Stevie Nicks songs. The energy is amazing! Sometimes I play it in my car 5 times in a row! I'll admit though I do like the first half of the song is much stronger than the second half. And who doesn't love it when she says "I don't really need this in my life. Why don't we forget about it?" with that cute attitude!

Docklands - I'm not explaining myself :p

Unconditional Love - The alternate version (or demo?) blows my mind but the chorus is much weaker then the verses. I love "Don't explain, just lay back and watch the rain..."

[dissention]

Reconsider Me

"Jimmy Iovine brought me this song, written by Warren Zevon.
I think Jimmy and I were fighting, and for some reason ....

I'm sorry, but the way she writes bugs the **** out of me. :laugh: And she's said that she wanted to be a teacher? Pffft.

[Rickypt]

I'd have to say Talk To Me; although Reconsider Me is a mighty lovely song. I wish both songs were in the Gold Dust Tour setlist. Doing RM would have been a nice tribute to Zevon.

[1934mission]

Out of all of stevies songs she has recorded BUT she didnt write ( this does not count covers!) what is ur favorite?
mine would deff have to be Talk To Me
Talk to Me as well, love the bluesy Red Rocks version too, even though we disagree about Love Is

[Ghosty]

When OSOTM first came out I was not a big fan of Cry Wolf. But then one day, years later, I was listening to it and just loved it. And now I still do love it.

Not sure if it's my favorite song she didn't write, but it'd be up there as one of my favorites.

I can't stand It's Only Love. So boring and so Sherlyish. I always wished she left that off TISL and did some other song instead. Then again, I prefer the songs she did with John Shanks on that cd instead of the ones Sheryl worked on. I wished he produced the whole album. Not sure if that's a popular thought here with people, but it's my crazy ol' though. :p

I do love Maybe Love, and the Tom Petty songs. Although I don't like Stop Draggin' live anymore. It seems boring. But I always love the album version, and the old live versions of it around Bella Donna time.

[Nightbird17]

Out of all of stevies songs she has recorded BUT she didnt write ( this does not count covers!) what is ur favorite?

Mine would definately be Talk to Me.......Lyrics were very powerful to me at the time (and still are) .... it came out the same time i did :blob2:

[Rickypt]

it came out the same time i did :blob2:

Me too. :cool:

[Nightbird17]

Me too. :cool:


:blob1: Stevie has other gay fans??? :blob1:

[equeen102289]

I didn't even have to think about this one. Without a doubt it is Talk to Me. That rocks on the album and rocked in concert. I don't think she could handle it today...but I'm always glad to go back and listen to the bootlegs from RAL.
