Questions
 

Overall, which Stevie album has, in your opinion,...

- the best lyrics?

- the best vocals?

- the best production?

- the best mood?

- the best dedication(s)




- Jake

My picks:

Best lyrics - Bella Donna

Best vocals - The Wild Heart

Best production - The Wild Heart (though I admire BD, RAL, and TOSOTM for their consistency of sound - I'll get flamed, but I love most of the production on RAL)

Best mood - The Wild Heart (I'll mention that RAL makes me happy, and while I like the individual songs on TOSOTM, taken as a whole album they are a real downer to me)

Best dedication - The Wild Heart - gotta love Robin (and the gypsies - that remain), though I like the Bella Donna one a lot as well

- the best lyrics? TISL's lyrics are amazing!

- the best vocals? Hmmm, I really like the RAL vocals. There is just something so cool about her voice here. Speaking in tongues, smoking a hundred packs a day vocals. I love it!

- the best production? TOSOTM

- the best mood? TOSOTM. It is magical!

- the best dedication(s) TOSOTM "This music is dedicated to Alice... through the looking glass... My Grandmother... the queen of hearts" So silly and magical, I love it!

I love the RAL vocals too. RAL is my second choice, though BD's are great in a more conventional way.

More TOSOTM dedications are still coming up in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Was anybody not thanked for that album in the tourbook? :distress:

Best lyrics - I think I'd have to agree with Bella Donna, that was Stevie just coming on the scene with quite an awesome back-catalogue of stuff.

Best vocals - Another agreement with The Wild Heart, I really loved Stevie's vocals on this one, especially in "Nightbird" and "Stand Back".

Best production - I'd say OSOTM here, though Wild Heart is a close 2nd for me.

Best mood - Rock A Little (I know I'll probably be shot down for this, but I can't listen to RAL without wanting to get up and dance)

Best dedication - I would have to go with OSOTM, I love how Stevie thanks Los Angeles for "its smog" in the liner notes.

Best lyrics - Bella Donna/TISL (apart from That Made Me Stronger)

Best vocals - The Wild Heart

Best production - The Wild Heart (this record is EPIC!)

Best mood - Bella Donna

Best dedication - Bella Donna

WORST production is without doubt TOSOTM. So over-produced, it's like one big ole sickly cake smothered in too much icing. RAL is a case of too many cooks and Street Angel is humdrum - some of those songs needed a bit of oomph and ended up with standard unimaginative arrangements.

The Wild Heart
Toss up betweeh TWH and RAL, I'll go with TWH this time.
Bella Donna, would be TWH but some of the synth lines feel out of place.
RAL, love its slightly schizophrenic nature.
TWH.

The Wild Heart for all of those.
