Good choice of songs. "Rooms On Fire" is one of favorites that they omitted.

[greendaze5]

'When I See You Again'????!!!!

Really???!!! :laugh:

[cbBen]

Yeah, that's a bad one.

[BombaySapphire3]

Yeah ..can't believe Rooms on Fire was left off also If Anyone Falls.. two of her best solo hits and there are a few errors If You Ever Did Believe newly written in 1998:shrug:

'When I See You Again'????!!!!

Really???!!! :laugh:

Definitely a peculiar choice... but I do love the last minute or so of that song. :lol:

[jbrownsjr]

I've Grown to like WISYA. As stated, the last part when LB sings is haunting.

The last minute(Lindsey) is the only tolerable part of the song.

It's like a turd dinner followed by the best dessert ever.:p

I don’t know....I kind of like this song.
It’s different and her voice sounds different...
Yes I know she was messed up at this time, you can hear that in her voice.
I also understand Lindsey had to put the song together from various sources.
And then he comes in at the end, just edging her out.
Wonderful stuff.

Oh yeah, well you can take it to the other room along with Welcome to the room Sara!

I think perhaps you have been staring at the stairs a tad too long!

Soon you will be wondering which set of doors are yours?

Not today Satan....not today

From what we learned from the Tango sessions, this "great" part by Lindsey was created more out of necessity than want. Its possible the song did not sound complete and Stevie was not around (oh yeah, she was drunk somewhere or in rehab) and Lindsey needed something creative.
The limits to this guy are endless. Could you imagine if Lindsey wrote a book. This chapter would be called "Tango in the fright"

Well, the main critique for all these years, of course, was her repeating "Wassamatta baby" a million times over.

Would Bob Dylan say that? I think not. $he ain't no Bob Dylan.

The ending is the only saving grace the song has. I'm surprised it made the cut!

I've played several Bob Dylan songs backwards and have heard numerous Whatsamatta Babies


I just had a flashback from Rolling Stone's review of Tango in the Night and how they made fun of the endless Whatsamatta babies something like......enough already :eek:

You leave her compositions alone!! She's a very nice lady that cares about the other members of the band first, and that's why her songs don't always come off so good!!! :laugh: She puts herself second to the band.

Bob isn't exactly the King of diction, so I can believe that!

And I remember People's review of Wild Heart making fun of her arrhythmic countoff of Enchanted.

I wonder if $he'd been ugly, if we'd even be having this conversation? Seriously...

Madonna got pretty far on average looks and a middling singing voice as well as a horrific lack of acting ability .Being in the right place at the right time and knowing what to do with yourself and how to manipulate others can count for a lot.

So you're saying that if Lindsey hadn't insisted that they were a package deal, that we'd have never heard of her? And that $he'd still be a waitress?:p

She was about to throw in the towel when they got the call from Dick..she probably could have gone back to school and at least been an elementary school teacher.

Is she really smart enough for that? She's pretty ditzy.

I find the presence of Candlebright, Love Is Like a River, and The Dealer baffling here, to say the least. As for WISYA, always a favourite of mine, it is the song that really brought me back to Stevie fandom after years of ignoring her after BD.

Agree. WISYA is supposed to have that tension and angst. And she's good at making me feel the longing in this song. I feel the pain.

[svnwndrs]

No “Rooms On Fire”? 😕

[michelej1]

You’re hilarious. I don’t think Stevie would really have the patience for multiple kids.

I think she would’ve continued to perform somehow, someway. It’s in her blood, even if fame eluded her. Maybe she would’ve ended up being a background singer. Maybe she would’ve lived Sharon’s life.

Sirius had a Johnny Carson channel for the month of March and it really floored me. I don’t think they had the rights to stream music, but you heard the singers’ interviews. And you knew what was going to happen to these people. It was like time travel. I was listening to Mama Cass and she was talking about the string of health problems she had just endured. It gave me chills thinking about it, knowing what would happen soon. California Dreamin’.

Stevie said she did that.

[lilyfee]

Stevie said she did that.

Yes, there is definitely an interview where she says she got Lindsey to harmonize with her on the ending and then she removed her own vocal without his knowledge so it would just be him singing. I will see if I can find it and edit this post.

$he couldn't turn on the light switch to the studio!!!!

:lol::lol::lol:

I will give my life is $he actually edited her vocal out on her own.
