Default What's your favourite track on Street Angel?

Hey guys

Even though it has the most tracks that I skip, I've been in a real Street Angel mood lately and so thought I'd see what everyone's favourite track from the album is. Or top 3, whatever...

So do you go for Love Is Like A River? Blue Denim? Greta? Jane? ()...

For me it has to be Kick It. I've always really liked it and have been playing it so much over the past couple of days! Then perhaps Listen To The Rain and Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind.

Out of interest, my version of Street Angel has that song listed as Maybe Love, do other editions have the full title in the tracklisting?

I really love the title track. I like the moodiness of the track, which I don't think she has ever created/re-created on any other track.

"Greta" is my all~time favourite from Street Angel, as well as "Love Is Like A River" and "Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind".

I love all of Street Angel! I wish "If You Were My Love" had been left in as well.

Blue Denim -- "I'm going a way for a little while to remember how to feel! And if I find the answer, I promise you I'll come back and get you!!" -- I think that summarizes post-Tango Mac meaning, ritualized in The Dance and applied to post-9/11 culture with Say You Will. Plus it's a solid rock song with nice guitar work. And it's about Lindsey. And it's romantic.

Greta -- The groove is like a slipstream--the enveloping sound pulls you in, which makes its very personal, very idiosyncratic tale of loneliness and isolation (this is where Stevie is AT) into something expansive and universal, just as Stevie turns to the phantom ideal of Greta for guidance (a very Stevie approach to pop iconography). It's about maintaining one's humanity. It's a humanity idealized by Greta. It is also a sequel to "Garbo," in which Stevie dreams of joining the constellation of female stars--and now "Greta" is about the state of her dreams having achieved that goal.

I like 'Listen to the Rain'. The intro reminds me a bit of 'Pretty in Pink' by the Psychedelic Furs. 'Kick It' is great, too. I find this album has grown on me a lot.

Greta and Listen To The Rain are my favourites. Great vocals on both of them, and I love when she's harmonising with herself on Greta.

Kick It. I have no idea why this was never a single, or why she has never played it live. It's a great great song.

Destiny--one of the best & most believable songs Nicks has ever written--is my favorite on that album.

It's toss-up between Blue Denim/Greta.

1. Greta (One of my all time favorites of hers)
2. Blue Denim (especially the remix)
3. Kick It

Docklands (master mix) is better than the album version.. I like the trip-hop sounding drums on this one.
