[LiquidBlue5000]

ok, this is sort of a carry over from the other thread... but i thought i would start a new one anyway :p


so, what is your least favorite song Stevie didn't write?? mine?? easy...

"Docklands" :nod:

[diamondsnake]

It's Only Love

[Dreammms]

DOCKLANDS!

Terrible song.

[diamondsnake]

DOCKLANDS!

Terrible song.
Take that Back!!!! :)

[catinthedark]

Uh... no contest.

Papa says...there are clothes to wash
Sister says...brush your hair
You'll go down...to the laundromat
Maybe your sister is there

Good. Gawd.

[Dreammms]

Take that Back!!!! :)

:lol: no way. i'll never forget being at the street angel concert at jones beach and that song coming on. :distress:

[Hawkeye]

I Still Miss Someone

[GypsyNomad]

Most definitely:

Sometimes Its a Bitch & Love's a Hard Game to Play :p

The whole "Well I've run through rainbows and castles of candy..." Thing, and "They say it's better to have lost at love, Than never to have loved at all..." Ugh! Where's the bucket! :distress:


although I don't mind the music video for SIB....

neither will i :distress: :distress:

[Dreammms]

neither will i :distress: :distress:

wasn't that the most terrible thing ever? i was there with some of my friends and i was so embarrassed.

[dissention]

Docklands and Unconditional Love are tied with me. I mean, good gawd. Play those suckers for the deaf and they'll reach for plugs.

I love that Hard Game To Play song. Stevie's vocal is so passionate and full of intensity, considering the time period of the song. Definitely a favorite performance of mine.


My least favorite song that Stevie didn't write....is most assuredly Cry Wolf. I just cringe when I hear it. :( Ugh, it's so awful, I cannot possibly think of anything I find worse.

either that or tons of mice will run trying to eat a piece of cheese. :shrug:

[LiquidBlue5000]

of all the songs off SA to do live... why oh why oh why "Docklands"?? i mean, even "Jane" would have been better :lol:

...no, really, it would have :o

[dissention]

Yeah, I've been known to confuse the Street Angel album with a piece of rank cheese, too.

:lol: :lol: wow i am not so sure about that sweetie.

Didn't she sing it live once with Jane Goodall in the audience, before the album came out? The boot never surfaced (I think it was a benefit), but my sense of morbid curiosity hopes that it does some day soon. :nod:

Why she didn't do Love Is Like A River live is a mystery to me...

[LiquidBlue5000]

:shocked: she did?? i never heard that before... but i would love to hear it if that's true...


Why she didn't do Love Is Like A River live is a mystery to me...

That would be the obvious choice.. but alas, it wouldn't be a Stevie Nicks solo concert if she didnt pick the absolute least stage-friendly songs off the new album to do live ("Docklands" - SA tour, "Bombay Sapphires" - TISL tour, "Two Kinds Of Love" - TOSOTM tour)

[GypsyNomad]

I definitely think her vocals are incredible for both songs, that's why I can listen to them every now & then :nod: The thing that drives me up a wall are those sucky-ass lyrics (good god!),they just don't sound like anything Stevie would write about, at least not in those phrases :shrug: Cry Wolf is pretty damn bad too....

Maybe these were her personal favorites? :shrug: All of them are odd songs to pick, but I really liked Bombay Sapphires, and would like to hear it at another show.

[dissention]

:shocked: she did?? i never heard that before... but i would love to hear it if that's true...

I'm dying to hear it. But I'd pay with my own blood to see Goodall's reaction. :lol:

And Planets of the Universe. Gawd, I was amazed at how lifeless it was. It's weird, too, because on some boots, the band kicks it out, but on others, they're playing as if they're all having one big collective stroke.

her vocals were lifeless on that entire tour... Planets was my favorite song on that album and she just could not do it justice on the road... maybe if Lindsey was on stage with her to stare at, it would have been better? :shrug:

[Dreammms]

:lol: :lol: well you can't blame her he is hot.

hmm or maybe a stevie and lindsey acoustic planets.

Off the top of my head I'd say Every Day or Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind. If I have to choose I'd say the latter.

[skcin]

Every Day :nod:

[nickslover2071]

Docklands..YUCK

[Highwayman]

INSPIRATION!!! How much more awful can it get? Horrible vocal, horrible music, the worst lyrics ever written, and that guitar screeeeeech! And I'm being Christian about it! Never listen to this song with sharp instruments around.

7W, another song where the vocal just kills it. This is the song you sing as you are falling to your death from the top of the Sears tower. Just scream your way through it. It will still hurt in the end. On the way down, you might have time to scream through a chorus of SIAB...

Everyday is ok, but needs to be in a higher key. The vocal kills it for me. She just growls and rumbles her way through it. Same with LAHDTP.

[HejiraNYC]

"God's Garden." It's not so much the song itself as much as it is the Klonopin-haze delivery.

[SapphireSister]

Reconsider Me, God's Garden, It's Only Love (ruined my TISL masterpiece!). I'm also not a huge fan of Talk to Me.

p.s. I love Docklands and Cry Wolf!!

[face of glass]

For me too. But the song sure is no great shakes either.

[Tango]

Every Day :o

[Rickypt]

Sometimes It's A Bitch

[dissention]

"God's Garden." It's not so much the song itself as much as it is the Klonopin-haze delivery.

The song and her delivery are the pits. She sings so deeply that you wonder if she has her own pair of low-hangers.

It makes Chanel Chanel sound like a Little Richard anthem.

Docklands!!

She performed it in Dallas, October of '91 at the International Tribute to Jane Goodall. I'm not sure if Jane was there or not though. :shrug:

I remember reading during the SA days that she had been there.

I Still Miss Someone.

Bottom 10 favorite.

The song itself is fab, just not her version. It would be better without the carny music.

[ontheEdgeof17]

I like it. I just don't think the music goes with the lyrics. The song is too serious for that type of music.

[LiquidBlue5000]

I like it. I just don't think the music goes with the lyrics. The song is too serious for that type of music.

yeah, but i think the music gives that song a little character... whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, you can decide for yourself ;)

[SapphireSister]

I Still Miss Someone.


Ooh I forgot about that one and I can't stand it. She should not have included that on such a beautiful album. Doesn't fit in and I have to say I agree that thy lyrics do not go with the music. It's one of the most mismatched songs in her catalouge. That song is wrong on so many levels! I wonder how Johnny felt about it?

[dissention]

I like it. I just don't think the music goes with the lyrics. The song is too serious for that type of music.

I agree, they don't go together. I think it was Christy who said that it was carny music and I think she hit it on the head. It's not bad, but it's not great, either. The best versions are from Johnny Cash and Emmylou Harris, imo. Linda Ronstadt does a good one, too, but I think the other two do the best ones.

Yeah but I just heard Johnny do that Depeche Mode cover the other day, and it was painful. Covers are tricky.

Thats hillarious! :) I agree, but for mine, I'd have to say Sometimes it's a bitch, Hate it , hate it, hate it. oh, and reconsider me too :o

[Serrart]

Another tie: Sometimes it's A Bitch :rolleyes: and Docklands.
