Love in Store is Gone, yet Straight Back and That's Alright are still there? Ugh. Let's me guess: Little Lies will be voted off the Tango Face off before Welcome to the Room Sara!

Ugh.

I'm officially out.

I voted for SB.

I'll be interested to see the total vote count once this poll is over - to see if all those who called it quits still quietly voted. Feel free to play all - let's just not be sore losers if a poll doesn't go our way!

I voted for That's Alright. Stevie was right to be disappointed that it ended up sounding less country than she wanted. Maybe if she had been there more often to guide it that way.

Hell will freeze over before that happens... I hope.

I don't now. LB and La Nicks seemingly finished that song before they joined FM as evidenced by this guitar version, which sounds almost exactly like the much fuller Mirage cut they did with FM.

Note - La Nicks' harmonies are in the stratosphere on the demo. :cool:

I voted for Eyes of The World....can't believe all the people voting off SB....I love the song...but really all the outtakes from Mirage are so much better than the released version all of us got. Why this cd re-issue has not ever seen the light of day with additional tracks I will just not ever understand. Also the outtake to Thats Alright is so much better...I was watching my RS photo Stevie dvd last night (from '81) and she plays the outtakes from Mirage behind her....I'm sure its all the unreleased versions we all have....for Smile At You...though I do somehow think this is a different version than what we all have? anyone else noticed this? Thats Alright is much better too amound other.....how said that what we have as unreleased is better than the released versions....heck I guess we could say that for most of Stevie's catalog too....IMO anyway.....any other opinions out there??:shrug::nod:

I could try to save EOTW, but really what's the friggin point, I said previously that I will not vote for the remainder of this poll, so that's what I'll do. The Tango poll will be as crappy and as inaccurate as the rest. I'm not being a sore loser. I couldn't care less if a poll goes my way or not (a long as it's a fair poll) Which these aren't.

I said the same thing yesterday ... and then I came back today and voted Straight Back anyway.

And hint, DW, if you vote SB right now, it ties up the fray with EoTW.

A tie should mean a runoff. BTW I voted TA this round to show I am not a Lindsey basher. I think the guy is a genius. But SB is better than all the music box 3 minute trinkets he has on Mirage.

A tie will mean a runoff.
And I disagree. I think SB (on Mirage) stinks.

I vote Hold Me. It doesn't really stick out for me. Honestly, I think Eyes of the World is one of Lindseys best songs. I feel like it holds true though time as well. I play it for my friends and they totally dig it. Of course if Gypsy doesn't win this thing then theres a problem. haha

Maybe it is just me, but I think Eyes of the World is a terrible song. Actually I think that about a lot of the stuff that Lindsey has done. I liked the early stuff off FM and Rumours, and then the Tango stuff, but what happened in between isn't so good. I don't think of myself as a chiffonhead, I'm a Fleetwood Mac fan, and I can happily listen to Peter Green, Stevie Nicks, Rick Vito etc.

All of that said, Stevie Nicks wrote some good commercial songs (as did Christine) that get consistent airplay. Lindsey may have done some experimental stuff that some people like, but in my opinion it was never as accessible as the stuff that Chris or Stevie did.

Lindsey would have probably figured it to be all in the name of his art, but that means that he doesn't get the votes in these polls because some people hate his songs (and more people obviously hate his songs or like Stevie's than vice versa).

Oh yes, and I actually like Straight Back, not because I like Stevie but I like the song. So I voted to get rid of Eyes of the World. Again.

Perhaps I should have voted, SB would be gone then, but I'm sticking by my guns. Screw this.

I agree with everything you just said.

I'm just gonna say this now-

After EOTW is voted off the tie breaker poll, and its TA vs Gypsy vs SB vs Hold Me, If it's all three Stevie songs in the final three, I will have officially lost my faith in these polls. There is NO WAY in hell that TA or SB is better than Hold Me. Gypsy you could make a case for [yet due to the fact I only listen to the extended version, I will not be voting for it against Hold Me have them both make the final 2], but please be seroius, and not just vote for Stevie cause shes ~mystickal~ I Love her too, but There is no way SB or TA was better than half the songs that got voted off already.

opinions are like a$$sholes...we all have them. Get over the bitterness just because your song is getting kicked off of a meaningless message board poll. Other people's opinions matter just as much as yours. Geez....
