Songs You Honestly Don't Know / Have Never Listened To
 

Okay... We all have at least one

- Unconditional Love
- Listen to the Rain (I know only the first part just so I can skip it)
- Docklands (are you noticing a trend)
- Anything from Behind the Mask (except for The Second Time)

What About You? :wavey:

Whole Lotta Trouble...didn't like it when it came out, still don't. It's the one Stevie song that for whatever reason makes me recoil.

Nothing with FM. And nothing from BD or WH.

Some Become Strangers, If I Were You. Unless I'm listening to the RAL album in full, I just totally forget they exist. I don't dislike them, I don't skip them when they do come on, they're rather hooky, but they're just not "Stevie" songs, they're filler from other writers. Same thing for Cry Wolf.

Docklands, Listen to the Rain, Un. Cun. Dishunal. Love. (all pretty much skips). Love is Like a River ( skip). Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind. (I might let that one play sometimes; her vocal is just a bit of a mess) Kick It. Jane. (ughiest of ughs). Both skips.

It's Only Love. Too Far From Texas. Every Day. (I'll usually let them play if I listen to the whole album but totally forget them otherwise).

I guess the theme is the stuff she doesn't write/co write tends to leave me disinterested.

On IYD, Ghosts Are Gone and New Orleans.

There are many songs that I don't like, songs that I hate, but I rarely skip anything. I mean, since I stopped playing vinyl 45s, I usually listen to entire CDs and if a song is on a CD, I don't skip it. The only exception is Cheaper Than Free and if it didn't come last, I probably wouldn't skip that either. The way it's sequenced at the end, it's really easy to pretend the album ended with Italian Summer.

Cheaper than Free :rolleyes:

most of TISL ... Too Far From Texas, That Made Me Stronger, It's Only Love, Love Changes

Unconditional Love ... yuk
I Still Miss Someone
Just Like a Woman
The Highway Man

i don't not like it, but i never listen to Nightbird :sorry:

Jane uuuuuuuugh man the album version sucks

I Don't Care/Carousel/She Loves Him Still/Hard Advice

:nod:

and off FM ... Silver Girl but I love pretty much everything else especially her Tango and BTM songs

Gate And Garden. I haven't listened to it since 1983. After the first couple of times of listening to the whole album when it first came out, I used to jump across the room to move the needle to the next song as soon as it started playing.

Also, the entire Rock A Little album.

Extending this to FM, I cannot stand Not That Funny. I just do not have the patience for it. Also Everywhere, which I see as self-mocking and pure crap with nothing to say, just another Christine basking-in-the-afterglow piece of dribble, and the wimpiest one at that.

And this is coming from someone who loves Welcome To The Room...Sara, When I See You Again, and Jane!

I rarely listen to her songs on OSOTM, Street Angel and Behind the Mask. I do like some of those songs, but I just don't listen as often as I do all her other songs/albums.

Rock A Little album and the meh-tracks from FM.

I've listened to them all at least once, but I don't know a majority of Street Angel and OsotM very well.

Stevie's cover of "Crash."

Stevie singing the line "I hike up my skirt a little more ... a boy's dream." At her age, I just can't ....

I "honestly" listen to everything. I listen to an album in its entirety. There is nothing so egregious that warrants a skip.

There are far most perilous sonic assaults at hand, like listening to a 22 minute live performance of Sister Ray by The Velvet Underground. Only a seriously loyal fan can make that kind or commitment.

In comparison, Stevie's songs are a cakewalk. Even if they aren't her best, I can find some redeeming quality, whether it is her voice, the lyric, the melody or just because it's so uniquely Stevie. I warm up to her clunkers for the fact they are the misguided, unfortunate disfigured outcasts in her world.

And that's not even the worst line from the song! :distress:

Love's A Hard Game To Play is really the only one I can't stand.

That's really a nice way to put it. Each song has some importance to her, otherwise it wouldn't be on the album in the first place. So while though I don't necessarily listen to each and every song, I appreciate them for why they're there.

I have only ever listened to these once:

- Jane
- Kick It
- Just Like A Woman

Because they're all truly hideous. Never want to hear them again. I don't really know the lyrics to The Highwayman either, it's too slow for me.
