What is your favorite Stevie Nicks album cover?
 
Since we have the In Your Dreams album cover, its time for a re-evaluation.

Somajoseph 04-15-2011 11:32 AM

I always felt Trouble In Shangri La captured Stevie's iconic look the best. I loved the colors.
Bella Donna though, was a very close second.

I totally agree with TISL, and still vote it number 1, but the In Your Dreams are Wild Heart are great too.

KarmaContestant 04-15-2011 11:37 AM

Rock A Little, all the way. :cool:

Although, Soundstage has a great cover as well.

Annabell Lee 04-15-2011 11:44 AM

TISL i agree it captured the whole " Stevie vibe ". I really want to love the IRD cover but, the fact that it just doesn't look like her disturbs me :shrug:

astro-addy 04-15-2011 11:47 AM

No she is giving serious angles on the OSOTM cover!
It captivated me as a gay child!

Silver Springs 04-15-2011 11:51 AM

Trouble In Shangri-La is ethereal and very beautiful, to me.

olive 04-15-2011 11:53 AM

i love the wild heart ..it's simplicity and the 3 moods ..here i am dramatic ..here i am not waiting here I am not listening'

fringed n fab 04-15-2011 11:54 AM

I vote Rock A Little. It was always something about the whole witchyness of it all I liked plus to me she was so pretty on it and I absolutely love that outfit she has on. But I also like in no particular order, her other album covers

Bella Donna
Wild Heart
TISL
Timespace

Soundstage, her feet were cut off and it ruined the photo so I don't like that picture pose. :distress:

UndoingTheLaces 04-15-2011 12:12 PM

My favorite hands down is Street Angel. That flat matte finish, the soft pink that we've all come to know is Stevie's favorite color. The way it kind of has the look of a Design The Next Stevie CD Cover contest last place entry.

Okay, I'm totally kidding. :lol:

I do love Rock A Little because of it's simplicity, and it's full of motion. You can almost see her spinning, which is such a trademark Stevie move. I remember trying to recreate it on my TRS-80 Radio Shack computer, lovingly hand placing pixel after pixel in perfect 8-bit glory. Of course that entire portrait would be the size of a postage stamp these days if my medium of storage hadn't been a cassette! But I digress.

I always thought the Other Side of the Mirror cover looked too airbrushed. I mean, her face is almost blue. But the back side was absolutely stunning. I always thought the back cover should have been the cover and if so then it would have been my favorite.

Artemis 04-15-2011 12:22 PM

OSOTM would totally be my favourite if she didn't have a sheep on her head.

I think Wild Heart may be my favourite album cover. Mainly because of the gorgeous colours used. Bella Donna and TISL are also really classic. I like RAL a lot too.

IYD, if it wasn't for that god-damn bubble thing, would totally be my favourite.

SA is just... a giant pink turd. With blonde hair. Awful cover.

DallasDude 04-15-2011 12:26 PM

Everyone hates on Street Angel, but the cover is the best. All the others are way too over produced and manipulated to draw a reaction. They totally dupe you.

fringed n fab 04-15-2011 12:31 PM

Yeah I didn't like her OSOTM hair either on the cover, even in 1989 when it came out. It looked much better though in the ROF video.

SA, it's pale, it's pink. It's awful.

It is indeed! However, there's a certain something about the photo that I like, but it just wasn't enough to be an album cover.

These on the other hand would have been great album covers:

I'm so glad Stevie has pretty feet. I know I go on about the men's all the time but so happy she has some nice ones herself. I couldn't see her being such a beauty with horrid feet.

holy sheeat! Where did that 2nd pic come from?!?

louielouie2000 04-15-2011 02:08 PM

TISL. It's just so beautiful... the colors are saturated and rich, Stevie's outfit is fantastic blowing in the wind, it has a mystical air, and it has the sea in the background (one of Stevie's and my fav things!). I think the cover captures who she is far better than most of her album covers.

Hate the TISL cover, it seems more fitting for the Wild Heart CD, whats up with that ledge she's standing on? One slip and shes BAM into the ocean. Give me witchy poo Rock a Little/Wild Heart covers anyday over TISL.

Note: This is only my opinion and this opinion is in no way meant as offense to anyone else. :woohoo:

fumidesigns 04-15-2011 02:23 PM

hmmmmmmmmmmmm i would but i am at work..................
 
I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD POST THE ALBUM COVERS AGAIN TO REFRESH OUR MEMORIES............


i mean, it would be nice lol

bluefox4000 04-15-2011 02:46 PM

TISL. It captures who she is best. I just love it. Too bad it's followed by the giant self parody that is IYD. boy it was good on first look. But, damn, it just gets more ridiculous with each look.

So TISL:thumbsup:

Mick

To me heat and humidity and palm trees and water all just go together and that's what tropical means to me. California just wouldn't do it for me. Our waters already almost 80 and climbing and it's felt like the heat of Summer for the past month or more down here. AC's running in full force already. But.... I love it here.

Jondalar 04-15-2011 03:14 PM

I do not understand the love at all for the Rock a Little, or Bella Donna covers.

StevieRox81 04-15-2011 03:16 PM

Love the "In Your Dreams" cover best because I have a horse that looks exactly like the horse on the cover :) :nod:

I don't like the Bella Donna cover much; she looks like she snorted too much coke right before the photo shoot. :sorry:

*ducks bullets*

TheWILDheart 04-15-2011 03:33 PM

I have to say, aside from TISL and IYD, I don't find any of Stevie's album cover's remotely interesting.

Bella Donna = picture of Stevie with some random bird against a black background. yawn.
The Wild Heart = 3 Stevie's against a black background. Yawn
Rock A Little = Stevie twirling. Great fun but Yawn.
OSOTM = WTF? Get off the floor, woman
Timespace = hiding in a duvet cover, Stevie? Yawn.
Street Angel = oh god, she's fallen asleep against a white background. Damn Klonopin. Best add some pink to make it pretty. Yawn.

n.


What WAS up with that cover? Anyone know the significance of 3 of her on the cover? I think that's why I like it so dam much, she just seems so spaced out at this time!

She also has the 3 roses on the Bella Donna cover. And her necklace in the music video for Gypsy is a "3." Mabye it has something to with the 3 birds of Rhiannon? Or her pyramid necklace? Does anyone know what's up with that? Mabye we should start a new thread...?

P.S. Sorry if this has been discussed before!
