Your Favorite Song Stevie Did NOT Write
 

What is your top song (released on a Stevie solo album, no live or FM songs) Stevie did not write? Mine is by far Some Become Strangers. I have loved that song from the first time I ever heard it and listen to it repeatedly to this day, sometimes 2-3 times in a row. I recently discovered a demo/alternate version to so that's exciting. It's such a rockin', feel good song and I adore the RAL vocals (BABY, YO!), harmonies by the girls, and over-all pop feel. This song should have been released as a single although I guess it wouldn't have made sense since she didn't write Talk To Me either and that was a single. Now keep in mind I would choose to have a Stevie-penned song any day over one she didn't write and have a hard time understanding why there are any of those on her albums but if I had to pick one it would be Strangers, as she referrers to it.

*An honrable mention goes out to Seven Wonders but technically she wrote one word and it's a FM song so it doesn't qualify.

It's a tie for me between Talk To Me, and... Every Day.

Talk To Me is just so fun and I think her voice is great on this song. Plus, it's my Go-To Stevie song when I'm drunk (along with wailing Rhiaaaaannooooon)

Every Day... I know it gets a huge bashing here, but, I LOVE it. It's just so romantic, the video is totally stunning, and I think Stevie gives a great vocal on the song! Plus, the chorus is totally infectious.

Midnight Wind probably. She did not sing lead vocal on this but her harmony vocal is just about as important as the main vocal. She makes the song work. My other choice would be talk to me.

YES! :blob2::blob2::blob2: My favourite Stevie vocal performance ever. As for Stevie songs she didn't write... I guess Cry Wolf.

Some Become Strangers is one of my all time favorites also. I also included it on a goodbye Cd to my ex-wife after being married for 22 years. It seemed appropriate because I certainly did not know her anymore. Stevie helped me get through that time. Enough about gloom, I can't wait to see her in Atlanta and more exciting things to come from her this year! We are all gonna be blessed with her new music, I know I will be.

I love love love Cry Wolf! It was the second song that came to mind after Strangers. Have you heard Laura Branigan's version? It's actually pretty good but of course doesn't compare to Stevie's. Laura actually recorded it before Stevie according to this. It's so sad though, Laura died of a brain aneurysm in 2004. So tragic...

I love Stevie's interpretation of "It's Only Love." One of my favorite songs on TISL. In fact, I was amazed at the vocal she pulled off. :nod:

Everyday
 

I love the song I dont know why so many dont like it and the video
is PERFECTION -she looks so good i think its her best video.
I always say to myself I wish she wrote it :angel:

Some Become Strangers or Talk to Me.

I love the live version of "Insider" from Tom Petty's "Packin' Up the Plantation."

I agree with Midnight Wind and Talk to Me in that order.:thumbsup:

Some Become Strangers.

I also like one that is considered a dud cover: I Still Miss Someone.

Seems like you've been posting more often in this forum as of late and I like it! :wavey:

Some Become Strangers!

Encompassing Stevie's entire career, I'd choose Seven Wonders.

Choosing from solo works only, I'd have to go with I Will Run To You.

If duets are excluded, then my choice is Some Become Strangers.
