Side 1 or Side 2? Mirage

[Villavic]

Let's see what is your favorite side of the Mirage álbum:

Side one
1. "Love in Store"
2. "Can't Go Back"
3. "That's Alright"
4. "Book of Love"
5. "Gypsy"
6. "Only Over You"

Side two
1. "Empire State"
2. "Straight Back"
3. "Hold Me"
4. "Oh Diane"
5. "Eyes of the World"
6. "Wish You Were Here"

I thought this would be difficult.

I can't believe it, but side 2 is more appealing to me. Even with Gypsy and That's Alright, the rest of side 1 doesn't hold up.

And I really like the trifecta of Empire State, Straight Back and Hold Me.

[Blueletter18]

This is a pretty well-balanced album, but I just can't stand Empire State. Plus, Gypsy is probably my favorite song of all time by anyone.

[MikeVielhaber]

Side 1 easily. "Love in Store", "Can't Go Back", "Book of Love" and "Gypsy" all great songs. On side 2 only "Hold Me" and "Eyes of the World" are great. IMO.

[MikeInNV]

Yep, Side One. If you're one of the few (like me) who doesn't understand all the fuss over Hold Me, this is an easy choice.

Nice balance of songs on both sides. I am extremely fussed over Hold Me, but I might favor Side 1 over Side 2.

A very tough battle. But I would choose for side 1. Hold me it is still one of my favourite songs, but the whole the first side, for me, beats the second.

Side 1.

Not because it has "Gypsy", but because it doesn't have "Empire State"...

[louielouie2000]

Side 2, because it has 4 songs I really like: Straight Back, Eyes of The World, Hold Me, & Wish You Were Here. Side 1 only has 2 songs I really like: Gypsy & Only Over You.

For me Stevie's songs are the best on the album, and side 1 has two of them, side 2 has only one. My favorite amongst Lindsey's songs change from time to time so in the long run it may even out. Christine's songs don't do it for me on this one, so side 1 it is.
