To say that all of Stevie's albums after The Wild Heart sucked is absurd. If that is the case, then why stay a fan 28 years later? My moods fluctuate, and some days I'm very Street Angel and other times I want to Rock A Little. At the end of the day, I'd prefer any Stevie album over most any other albums out there. But perhaps that is just me.

John, you took the words right out of my mouth! I think most everyone here would agree with you on the bold highlighted areas. I know I do.
I hated Street Angel when I first heard it. Now I have to say it's grown on me. Still not my favorite, but I love tracks like Greta, Blue Denim, LILAR, etc. It's all about the mood I'm in, like you said.
Louie, I love ya more than my luggage, but I guess we have to agree to disagree. The Wild Heart is my favorite Stevie record. Are there songs that are pretentious? Yes. Do I still love them? Yes INDEED!
Also, am I the ONLY PERSON on this board who ADORES "Gate & Garden"? I've not heard anyone say anything nice about this song. LOL.
Anywho, reading everyone's opinions is great! It just goes to show how different we all are in our appreciations and love for all things Stevie. Tis a GREAT THING! To all those out there who take umbrage to other people's OPINIONS, and to those who wish to pick fights BECAUSE of those opinions, please take note! This board should be for healthy and FRIENDLY discussion. Can't we celebrate each other's differences?
