Favorite Song Stevie Did Not Write...
 

So, what's your favorite song that Stevie didn't write or help write?

Mine would have to be Stop Draggin My Heart Around, great song, and Tom barely sings on it, yeah!! LOL Sorry, but I've never liked his voice. :shrug:

I'd have to say that my favorite is " Some Become Strangers" I just love that song.:nod:

by far
 

it's Battle of the Draggon. I'm ashamed she can't say she wrote it.

Did she write any of "Battle of The Dragon"? In the lyrics page it list her first with 2 other writers. I always assumed she wrote it. If she didn't then I would have to change my previous choice and pick Battle of the Dragon also.:nod:

My favorite one right now is Talk To Me. I really like that song and I have a live version from the House of Blues '94 that I absolutely love!

Hey rhiannon1119, I have the live version of Talk To Me also from the House of Blues and I have to say that this version just blows the original away. I wish that she would sing that song in concert. It is strange that she didnt write that song because it sounds so much like her.

Karen do you know where I can get that House of Blues version of Talk to Me? Audiogalaxy is not an option for me,my husband is a computer tech,and he thinks it will corrupt his precious system.:distress:

Good question...
 

I would pick between "Talk To Me" "Sometimes It's A Bitch"...Brian

Dar, I can make a copy of the cd for you if you want. It wont take me long to do and I just bought some new cd'rs.
Tracklisting: (I Think)
Edge of seventeen (killer 13:50 minute version of this song)
Stand Back - this version also rocks
Rhiannon - very good
Destiny - I never liked this song until I heard it on this cd. The harmonizing that Stevie, Sharon and Lori do on this song is amazing.
Talk To Me - you just gotta hear this one because stevie gives it her all.

Just send your address to me at [email protected] and I will send you the cd.

Oh yes, I would have to pick Some Become Strangers, too. I absolutely love this song!

Battle Of The Dragon... this song just conjures up images in my mind... though I am not COMPELETLY mentally stable it does provide wonderful imagery and emotions.

Hmm..it is either Stop Draggin' or Reconsider Me...depending on my mood...and this is the first time i realized she didn't write Battle of the Dragon....goddamit...i love that song sooo much :P

ooooops
 

sorry guys. i made a mistake. Stevie did write BOTD. This is really good news to me.

Whew...
 

I'm so relieved that she wrote "Battle of the Dragon" b/c I absolutely love that song!
So, my fave would have to be "It's Only Love". Although, I do love "Some Become Strangers".

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you there. While it is a good performance as Edge of 17 always is, the tempo on this one is too slow. It almost sounds like Stevie is trying SO hard to slow down and keep in time with the drums. However, the rest of this show IS excellent. Rhiannon is almost as good as it was during the early tours. Stand Back she keeps wailing on, instead of just the lower notes on the second, "To be standing in a line," she belts out the higher harmony I believe all three times, and it's great. Outside the Rain is excellent, Dreams is, well, Dreams. Destiny is nice, I just miss the "Aaaaaaall goooooooooooone, nothing left at all..." part in the end. Talk to Me I love because it doesn't end with "All the way back hoooooooome" the first time, instead she just says "All the way back home" and I don't know, just the way it sounds with the music is good. She also does ok versions of The Chain (yes, The Chain solo Stevie) and I Need to Know. The thing that baffles me is that I have an mp3 on here that says "Blue Denim Live House of Blues 1994," yet it's not on the bootleg. It's not too great anyway...Stevie sounds flat in a couple of places on this song, although she wails the end of it. All in all, this boot is a MUST HAVE, especially since the sound quality is so good too.

In any case, I've gotten so far off track with the topic of this thread. Sorry about that. I have to say, and I "wonder" if anyone will change their answer after I say this, Seven Wonders is my favorite song Stevie didn't write. Now I know she technically HELPED write it, but she only added that one line because she misheard the lyrics. So I don't count it. My other favorites that Stevie didn't write include Sometimes It's a Bitch, Stop Draggin', Love's a Hard Game to Play, and yes, murder me now, Docklands. While the beginning of Docklands seems absolutely absurd, I still love this song. It's really a great car song, I love singing it going down the road. Plus, until I had seen Docklands was not written by Stevie, I thought it was. Again, that beginning is very strange, but it's just so...Stevie. That ambiguous confusing type of thing, I don't know. My xanax is kicking in, so this post shall end. :wavey:
