Like or Dislike: Just Like a Woman
 
I like it, always have. Fun to sing along to. :nod: Nothing all that groundbreaking or anything, but it's a good song & she sings it well. Music is OK.

I like these lyrics:

Till she finally finds out...that she's like all the rest
With her fog...her amphetamines...and her pills


AND

It was raining from the first
And I was dying there of thirst
So I came in here
And your long-time curse hurts
But what's worse...is this pain in here
I can't stay in here...ain't it clear...

That I just don't fit
Yes, I believe it's time for me to quit
When we meet again...introduced as friends
Well please don't let on that you knew me when
I was hungry...and it was your world

I gave it a "Yay!"

One of the best Street Angel tracks I think... :thumbsup:

Perfection.

I like her delivery, I just don't care for the arrangement.

I'll listen to it because it's catchy and fun but it's just not a Stevie Nicks song and it's so obvious to me when I hear it. Some of the things she says are just not words I would expect to come out of her mouth and I cringe sometimes when I hear them. I can't listen to it without thinking it's a Bob Dylan song and I'm not a big fan of the music to this song.

However....I love love love hearing my girl say "She makes love just like a woman...yes she does". The song gets 5 stars just to hear her say that :p.

Bob Dylan's version is perfection so when I first heard this it annoyed me. But over the years I have grown to love and appreciate Stevie's version.

I voted "yay."

Love it. I love the way she sings it. Even though SA was supposed to be the "Klonopin album", I think she puts a lot of emotion into this song. Top 3 for SA, top 20 overall for me.

Same here...although I've hung on to the "annoyance". Of all the Bob Dylan songs that Stevie COULD'VE picked, this was not a good choice.

If I had my way, she would have covered "One More Cup of Coffee" with David Crosby.

That is one of my favorite songs, and even though I can't imagine making it better, I actually think Crosby and Nicks would be a great combo.

Good choice.

And, I can hear her doing an almost "I Know I'm Not Wrong"-type arrangement of "Silvio", too.

"Shelter From The Storm" would also be a pretty good choice for her.

And, maybe a rousing duet version of "Rainy Day Women #12 & 35" with Tom Petty backed by the Heartbreakers and produced by Jeff Lynne.

I love it, and I love Bob's version.
And I exactly opposite disagree with what ChiliD says here. I think it's one of the most appropriate songs she could've picked, if not the most. The lyrics go well with her, IMO.
