if you could only have ONE stevie song

[all the same]

seriously! ONE SONG!!! Like one Stevie song on a desert island.

I'm torn between Edge of Seventeen and Stand Back, but I think I have to go with Edge of Seventeen. She has so many great songs though...

Spill it! What's your ONE song?

[ontheEdgeof17]

My favorite song of hers for all times:

That's Alright

[dissention]

Since I wouldn't be able to choose, write "Storms," "Sable On Blonde," and "Trouble In Shangri-La" on three pieces of paper, put them in a hat, mix them up, and make me draw one.

[amber]

This has been a thread before, but I believe I picked Edge. Or did I pick Insider, Live? hmmm.

[Dreammms]

sara or nightbird i guess
very hard to choice between all her songs
hmm or maybe sable on blonde

[ontheEdgeof17]

Since I wouldn't be able to choose, write "Storms," "Sable On Blonde," and "Trouble In Shangri-La" on three pieces of paper, put them in a hat, mix them up, and make me draw one.

Thrown Down came out of the hat. I hope that's okay for eternity.

[dissention]

Thrown Down came out of the hat. I hope that's okay for eternity.

I can only hope that the coconuts on that island fall on my head so hard that I'm rendered deaf.

[AliceLover]

Alice - Live

[LiquidBlue5000]

Thrown Down came out of the hat. I hope that's okay for eternity.


good choice :nod:

[ontheEdgeof17]

good choice :nod:


Not my choice. I picked it for D...since he's such a huge fan of the song....not.

[Rickypt]

Sleeping Angel

[SapphireSister]

Well Stand Back is my favorite Stevie song but if I was stuck on a desert island I'd have to pick my second favorite, Rooms on Fire, because it has a personal story for me connected to it whereas SB is my favorite song but I don't relate it to any particluar person/incident in my life.

[WizNicks]

If You Ever Did Believe, defenitly!

[amber]

SB actually reminds me of a general theme of my entire life.... :laugh:

[Neal]

Definitely 'Rooms On Fire'. I've loved this song longer than I've known who Stevie was.

"Well I have known this much longer than I've known you..." :cool:

[mikeschmike]

This is tough. I like different Stevie songs at different times of the day, you know? For instance, I always like the more rocking tunes in the morning to get me going (Edge live, old school Rhiannon live, Long way to go, stand back, etc) and i like the slower songs at night. GDW, Storms, Sara, Thrown down, LOVE IS(am i like the only one who really likes this song?), to name a few.

[53yearoldpixie]

This is really hard. I would have to go with the putting paper in the hat idea, with Sara (the cleaning lady version) Stand Back (live), or... Wild Heart.

"SB actually reminds me of a general theme of my entire life...."

Amen, Amber. :nod:

Mikeshmike: I ADORE Love Is. LOVE it!!!

~*~ Gina ~*~

[chiliD]

I'd be happy with any ONE of the following:

Sisters Of The Moon
Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind
any song off of TISL
SYW version of "Smile At You"
Illume
WOS version of "Thrown Down"

[mikeschmike]

This is really hard. I would have to go with the putting paper in the hat idea, with Sara (the cleaning lady version) Stand Back (live), or... Wild Heart.

:thumbsup: you rule :thumbsup:

[Highwayman]

My all time favorite: Fireflies

[SapphireSister]

Definitely 'Rooms On Fire'. I've loved this song longer than I've known who Stevie was.

"Well I have known this much longer than I've known you..." :cool:

What great taste you have! My new best friend :xoxo: (just for you, Amber :lol:).

[Serrart]

Storms... or Trouble in Shangri-La. :D

Romy

[dissention]

Storms... or Trouble in Shangri-La. :D

Romy

See, we're not all that different, you and I.

[Serrart]

See, we're not all that different, you and I.

I know we aren't. :)

Romy

[David]

I know we aren't. :)

RomyAnd you're like me, too, because I like Trouble in Sangria-La & Storms.

But I think I'll still take Crystal or Silver Springs.

Romy & David ... two peas in a pod

[Neal]

What great taste you have! My new best friend :xoxo: (just for you, Amber :lol:).

:wavey: :wavey: :wavey:

[Serrart]

And you're like me, too, because I like Trouble in Sangria-La & Storms.

But I think I'll still take Crystal or Silver Springs.

I'd take them in the 90's versions.

Romy & David ... two peas in a pod

That goes without saying. ;)

Romy

[goldie]

Gold Dust Woman


and not a doubt in my mind about that! :)

[Stephanie]

Hard choice. Stand Back, I guess. Or Gold and Braid.

[GypsyNomad]

I would need to have Rhiannon with me always.... its the first song of her's that i ever listened to, i'd run home everyday after school when i was little just hoping it would be on the radio.... What version? Probably a live version... Live or Rosebud will do.

If not Rhiannon, then Sisters of the Moon or Gold & Braid :)

[WildInTheWind]

Frozen Love. Not only is it a great song, but it's really long.

[SapphireSister]

Storms... or Trouble in Shangri-La. :D

Romy

I adore TISL and though of voting for that one but I think hearing "I run through the grass, I run over the stones, down to the sea, show me the way back" over and over again might be a little trying on the nerves.

[BTFLCHLD]

beautiful child

[GypsyNomad]

Frozen Love. Not only is it a great song, but it's really long.

Man i LOVE that song! :D

[CreepingDeath]

My all-time favourite: Storms

[Ghost_Tracker]

seriously! ONE SONG!!! Like one Stevie song on a desert island.

I'm torn between Edge of Seventeen and Stand Back, but I think I have to go with Edge of Seventeen. She has so many great songs though...

Spill it! What's your ONE song?



Gypsy. . . . Most definitely Gypsy! :)

[catinthedark]

Frozen Love. Not only is it a great song, but it's really long.


That is an excellent choice - for excellent reasons. :nod: That would be a close second.

But my all-timer remains... Mistaken Love. The piano duet.

[Dreammms]

Frozen Love. Not only is it a great song, but it's really long.

I love that song and think that is a great choice. I wasn't sure if we could use it though because it's more of a duet type thing with Lindsey.

[sarafield]

Storms is my pick.

[Karlie]

Stand Back live.

[danax6]

Oy. Can't choose. :shrug:

I'll do that hat thing and throw in three songs and then take that one with me. So, either Sara (cleaning lady demo), Beautiful Child or Stand Back.

[LongBlackScarf]

beautiful child


Nothing personal, but Stevie looks like that classic "full body dry-heave set to music" in that "kicking" avatar. :eek:

I have to do the "hat thing" too. Toss in "Sara", "Gypsy" and "Nightbird."

[GODDESS6]

maker of the birds, i never get tired of hearing this :nod: ~

[GODDESS6]

beautiful child
omg, i :xoxo: LUV :xoxo: the leg kick in the sig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~

[Dreammms]

maker of the birds, i never get tired of hearing this :nod: ~

wow,that is a surprise :)

you're right it is a very good song
but i wouldnt be able to only listen to that for the rest of my life

[[email protected]]

"How Still My Love".

~Barbara~

With a close second of "Sara"....

[LiquidBlue5000]

I'd take them in the 90's versions.




Thank You :)

i think you and I are probably the only people on this planet who prefer the 90's version of "Crystal" over the original :wavey:

[Nicksluvver]

My all time favorite: Fireflies


Mine too! Honarable mention for one pick are as follows in this order: Sleeping Angel, Angel, That's Alright, HAEWFY, Storms, Candlebright, and Garbo. Yet still I feel like theres more.....because there is LOL...too many to mention!

[all the same]

Thank You :)

i think you and I are probably the only people on this planet who prefer the 90's version of "Crystal" over the original :wavey:

I ABSOLUTELY prefer the 90s version of Crystal. I think Lindsey sounds like a big pussy singing it! I much prefer Stevie's fully developed lower voice singing it! :nod:

[LiquidBlue5000]

:D :xoxo: :wavey:

[WildInTheWind]

That is an excellent choice - for excellent reasons. :nod: That would be a close second.

But my all-timer remains... Mistaken Love. The piano duet.

Mistaken Love was actually my second choice. Have you ever heard it accapella? It's amazing.

[WildInTheWind]

I love that song and think that is a great choice. I wasn't sure if we could use it though because it's more of a duet type thing with Lindsey.

Meh....it's Stevie enough for me!! :D

[dissention]

I ABSOLUTELY prefer the 90s version of Crystal. I think Lindsey sounds like a big pussy singing it! I much prefer Stevie's fully developed lower voice singing it! :nod:

You want to hear a big pussy, put on the studio version of I'm So Afraid. I don't think his balls had dropped yet when he recorded that one.

Crystal with Lindsey is perfection...

[DavidMn]

Gypsy :angel: Far and away my favorite :)

[DavidMn]

You want to hear a big pussy, put on the studio version of I'm So Afraid. I don't think his balls had dropped yet when he recorded that one.

Crystal with Lindsey is perfection...
His balls had dropped?? :lol: :lol: thanks I needed that one :nod:

[JazmenFlowers]

Rhiannon - has been and will always be my favorite song of all time, Stevie or otherwise.

[paperflowers]

You want to hear a big pussy, put on the studio version of I'm So Afraid. I don't think his balls had dropped yet when he recorded that one.

Crystal with Lindsey is perfection...

LMAO ...his balls hadn't dropped ha ha ha ha ha

u made me laugh...

I love crystal either way

I think the one song I would probably go with.... geez this IS hard.... anything off of TISL...ya...no
anything off of Belladonna..........
no Ill go with TISL for sure :shrug:

[SapphireSister]

Thank You :)

i think you and I are probably the only people on this planet who prefer the 90's version of "Crystal" over the original :wavey:

Oh no you are not. Stevie's version is a top 5 all time song for me. The other versions do not compare. That song means so much to me it is beyond words. I share in your 90's Crystal love :xoxo:.

[Phoenix]

Thank You :)

i think you and I are probably the only people on this planet who prefer the 90's version of "Crystal" over the original :wavey:

OOoooo! Can I join this club too! :wavey: I adore the Practical Magic Version of Crystal! :blob2:

[LiquidBlue5000]

Oh no you are not. Stevie's version is a top 5 all time song for me. :.


YAY, me too! :)


Twisted, Beautiful Child, Thrown Down, and Stand Back round out the top 5 for me :nod:

[Serrart]

Thank You :)

i think you and I are probably the only people on this planet who prefer the 90's version of "Crystal" over the original :wavey:

It seems some others like it too :D . The original is very nice but quite a plain love song, the 90's version sounds more heartfelt, intense and with a deeper meaning, to me.

Romy

[Miss Vicky]

Planets of the Universe - demo version

Have been known to leave that song on repeat for hours on end.

I have a question about the premise though...
Does this mean that this is the only song we get to listen to for all eternity, or just the only Stevie song (but we still get to listen to other artists)? If it's the former, I'd rather commit suicide than listen to nothing but her. :sorry:

[WildInTheWind]

[Miss Vicky]

Good, because giving up Lindsey, Tom and Walter would be too much for me to endure. :D

[catinthedark]

Mistaken Love was actually my second choice. Have you ever heard it accapella? It's amazing.


Ah, what fine taste we have! :laugh:

I don't believe I have an accapella version of Mistaken Love. I have about 8 other versions... do you have it??

[WildInTheWind]

Ah, what fine taste we have! :laugh:

I don't believe I have an accapella version of Mistaken Love. I have about 8 other versions... do you have it??

Yes we do have fine taste :nod: I do have the acapella version. You know, you may have heard it. I call it acapella, but you can hear some music faintly. So I guess it really isn't acapella. If you have the Mistaken Love master reel, it's on there. It's the same as the full version on there but the music is scaled down. It's cool though because it puts a whole new spin on the harmonies to hear them almost by themselves. If you haven't heard it let me know. Next time I'm at my parent's house I'll take advantage of there DSL and send it to you if you want it.

[golddustwoman77]

Mine would be between Gold and Braid and Sisters of the Moon. Gold and Braid will probably win out.

[all the same]

You want to hear a big pussy, put on the studio version of I'm So Afraid. I don't think his balls had dropped yet when he recorded that one.

Crystal with Lindsey is perfection...


:lol: :lol: :lol: Rachel and I sing "I'm such a pussy! Such a pussy! I can't believe how much of a pussy I am!" when we hear it! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I pretty much hate the studio version of it. I only like hearing it live. I don't even listen to live recordings of it. It's like a pussy anthem! :laugh: :lol:

[all the same]

:D :xoxo: :wavey:

:xoxo: Let's make out! :xoxo:

[SapphireSister]

:xoxo: Let's make out! :xoxo:

It's about time we got some action on this Ledge! :laugh:

[trackaghost]

Sara. I still think it's her masterpiece.

[amber]

Sara. I still think it's her masterpiece.
:mad:

I think it's her self control. :cool:

Don't make me come over there!!!


:laugh: :xoxo:

[GypsyAsh]

Rhiannon:: Live in Sin City, 1977.


ciao
Ash
x

[SmileAtU]

Mine would have to be a live version of Rhiannon or Sisters of the Moon. Something I could rock out to daily. :cool:

[SapphireSister]

YAY, me too! :)


Twisted, Beautiful Child, Thrown Down, and Stand Back round out the top 5 for me :nod:

We totally need to start a PM Crystal appriciation thread. :nod: This is a song I will play for people who are non-Stevie fans and most of them instantly fall in love with it. I have one particular friend who didn't even know who Stevie was but was in love with this song from Practical Magic and when I played it for her she practically passed out.

The lyrics, the music, the arrangement, and her voice all make this song a true classic IMO. As someone said earlier the others versions are boring in comparision and don't convey nearly the emotion that this one does.

My very favorite part of the song is the last 1 1/2 minutes when it's just that particular guitar part (doo doo doo doo lol) and her beautiful voice singing "IIIIIIII turned around and the water was closing around me" doo doo doo doo. Sometimes I just listen to that part over and over. You know what part I'm talking about?

[LikeAWillow]

So this is next to impossible, but I'm going to say Rhiannon, the studio version. Edge of 17 and Straight Back are tied for close seconds though.

[GypsyBoy87]

i would just kidnap stevie and take her with me

[Kelly]

Hmmmm, tough choice. I will go with Twisted. A close second would be Beautiful Child.

I love all versions of Crystal. Especially the Buckingham Nicks version. Stevie sounds fantastic on her version too. The lyrics are some of her best...very...sexual.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Hmmmm, tough choice. I will go with Twisted.

You like to urk my tater. Don'tcha? :laugh:

[Kelly]

You like to urk my tater. Don'tcha? :laugh:


Small payback for your votes against Twisted in every, single, freaking round of non LP Survivor.

: > )'

[kato]

seriously! ONE SONG!!! Like one Stevie song on a desert island.

I'm torn between Edge of Seventeen and Stand Back, but I think I have to go with Edge of Seventeen. She has so many great songs though...

Spill it! What's your ONE song?
Doing the Best I Can

[TwistedGypsy]

It would either be Sara or Outside the Rain...... I can't choose. :shrug:
Brit

[eclipse]

So very difficult to choose just one!
I agree with everyone else that has stated :

When it come to Stevie and her vast array of written songs/performances;

different days,
different moods,
differnt tunes,

Ok deserted island- I would take Gold Dust Woman

her vocals are perfect-the mood is dark-it is Stevie in all her glory!


As mush as I love Storms, Frozen Love, Silver Springs (original) Designs of Love, Rhiannan, Outside the Rain, Sisters of the Moon, even Dreams, after listenening to Dreams 10,000 times- at least :)

Just one- would have to be Gold Dust Woman

[Phoenix]

YES! :blob2: I agree with eveything that you just said! I have played this song for many a "non-stevie fan" or a "never herd of her" or a "used to listen to her, but she changed styles in the 80's" and it has so far ALWAYS been met with a positive response. Then they want to hear more!
MMUUU--HA HA! (Laughs diobolically and twiddles fingers.)

I know exactly what part you're talking about... it's such a different arrangement for a Stevie song.. which is part of the reason why i like it so much.. the ending sorta drifts away, slowly, with the strings playing in the background... Ms. Crow did a fine job producing both of the PM songs, imo...

and yes, a PM Crystal appreciation thread is definately in order :wavey:

[Serendipity]

I've had six pages of reading to choose a song but I cant so, count me in for the hat thing. Toss in Rhiannon (Live in the 70s), Gold and Braid and Somebody Stand By Me and let me know how it goes.

:)

~Nicki

oh, crap, I'm already changing my mind and adding more choices...argh.....

[Haunted Song]

Edge of Seventeen :nod:

[53yearoldpixie]

i would just kidnap stevie and take her with me

:laugh: That's a loophole I never would have thought of. :angel:



~*~ Gina ~*~

[Ghost_Tracker]

Well, for me,

it's ALL the sa-AAME

ALL the sa-AAAME

ALL the sa-AAAME!

( Rhiannon. . . . ) :blob2: :]

[markolas]

I'm gonna go with Outside the Rain. She kicks ass on every live version I've heard.

[dissention]

I'm gonna go with Outside the Rain. She kicks ass on every live version I've heard.

You haven't heard any TISL boots, eh?

[markolas]

You haven't heard any TISL boots, eh?

I have one or two. Don't really remember what Outside the Rain was like, though. :shrug:

[Nightbird17]

Angel
Gypsy
Nightbird
Beautiful Child
Violet and Blue

[NoSpeedLimit8]

Tough choice but I'd have to say Bella Donna.

[Ghost_Tracker]

I have one or two. Don't really remember what Outside the Rain was like, though. :shrug:


OMG how could your forget O t R!??? :shrug: :eek: :laugh:


"Outside's the RAIN and my HEART skips a beat -

are you LONE-ly???

CREATURE of THE NIGHT it's been ALL-most a weeek

could you love me ONLY???

Look in my eyes, touch my face,

baby, there's NO one - who could EVER - EVER replace

that heartache!!!

So? Take away THAT heartache! . . . "


From Stevie Nicks, 1978 (sweet as silk, with just a tiny edge):

"And, to be honest, I don't think anybody's gonna be able to USE

this song. . . 'cause I'M gonna use it! . . . "

[lbelle1214]

Nightbird....cause I'd want to die if I had to stay forever...I'd find that bird!
Sometime's It's A Bitch....'cause by then I'd be manic/depressive without Zoloft.
And Rhiannon.....I'd pray to Rhiannon to send those birds of hers to sing my ass to sleep until it was over!

[Richard B]

Violet and Blue

I need an angry song to rock my days on my island.

[snowman]

Mine would be Gypsy; Leather & Lace; Silver Springs
