Here I come to save the dayyyy!!

"Go Insane" peaked at #23... not a bad showing at all.
"Trouble" stands as Lindsey's highest charting single - at #9, and "Holiday Road" peaked at #82 (I would have thought that song would have done much better)... but unfortunately none of Lindsey's other singles charted.

Believe it or not, at the time I had no interest in Lindsey's solo stuff. I was a Stevie fan. It was Rock a Little that made me reevaluate the whole thing. While I loved Bella Donna and The Wild Heart, when I got Rock a Little, I was like, "What the .....?"
It's funny that so many people dislike 'Rock A Little,' as that was the first Stevie album I ever owned, and that was the first one that blew me away, because it was so different from any of the other artists I was listening to at the time.
To this day, I don't understand why so many people dislike it. Sure, it was "out there," but we always celebrate it when Lindsey takes a left turn, so why not celebrate it when Stevie does the same thing?

But to each his own.
Though I'll always disagree with anyone who feels that Stevie wasn't reaching any new fans during that era, because she definitely reached me... and I'm still here, eighteen years later.
