I realize there's at least 2 other similar threads but this thread will have a point system so we can actually get an actual list going.

Rules: list your ten favorite Stevie demos (or outtake or unreleased finished song). Your number one will receive ten points your number two nine points and so on. Ill leave this thread open until june 1st, then add up the points and obviously the top 17 songs will be on our version of this album. Hopefully Stevie knows us well enough that at least most of the top 10 are on there.


Also, if we could pleas leave this thread strictly for our lists so it's not too cluttered. Don't discuss each others lists, don't comment on how badly lindsey wouldve ruined that song, or reply that you'll make a list only when Stevie sts foot in a studio with the rest of fleetwood Mac. Save all that for the other threads, and keep this one just to lists.

Youtube?! You mean she's not releasing it in stores?

Andyleo: love your screen caps from the oh so cute and hilarious interview with Stevie.

No, YouTube album refers to the fact, Stevie said she is getting all of her songs from this album from what we fans have put on you tube. Really odd to think about in some ways but they're her words.

Puzzled by the love for The Dealer and Baby Doll. What am I not hearing, to me they are both excruciatingly dull.

I couldn't agree more. They're both a snooze fest! I don't understand the love for these two either...but then I love "Night Gallery" and "Impossible Task" so what do I know?

I love baby doll but agree 100 percent on the dealer. There isn't one of the 5o versions of the dealer I find enjoyable. Hopefully Dave Stevie and waddy can figure out something well all like

I really like this song- probably this version the most. Her vocals and energy after the 3 minute mark, are stellar.



On the other hand, Night Gallery and Impossible Task....well....



Oh, check out this strange fan creation; I absolutely love this - but I love electronica and dance music.

Love both of these!!

Great for an early morning start! No snoozing going on here

And see I hate Baby Doll but The Dealer is THE track above all I am dying for her to record. Love the Jesse show me how version. What a great rock song.

If it had been any other rock star and songwriter of her caliber it would be odd indeed but when it comes to Stevie peculiar might be the normStill she has described her songs as her babies

Well it looks like only 18 people "played" this game, although there's still time to get more of your "lists" in before Hawkeye closes this thread and tallies the points. I'm really intrigued to see what the results are.

And interestingly, "Starshine" has not made anyone's favorites list in this thread...so far. Not that I'm surprised - "Starshine" always sorta flew under the radar, at least my radar. I've never seen or felt the mad love for it on fan boards or groups as I have for what seem the more obvious demos/outtakes mentioned again & again over the years (Julia, The Dealer, All The Beautiful Worlds, If You Were My Love, She Still Loves Him, The "Rhiannon" songs, etc.) "Starshine" always seemed more like an impromptu studio jam session, that never was completely fleshed out, but more of a groove & idea of a song. It feels incomplete, which underlines the obvious that we've only heard the unfinished outtakes from 1980s Bella Donna sessions. I do appreaciate that unmistakable 70s hammond B3 organ rock n' roll groove that propels the song. I can totally see this being a Enchanted-esque rocker. Ultimatley, I'll love this record if they are going in the direction of more piano & B3 organ arrangements that were the foundation of many songs on both the "Bella Donna" & "Wild Heart" records.

What will be interesting is what Stevie picked out as her favorites vs what we fans perceive as favorites. That, and obviously balancing the record with rockers, because there is a vast amount of fan favorite demos that are basically ballads. Which is why I tend to believe that "The Dealer" aka "Mistress of my Fate" will also make the cut. It's a midtempo rocker, that's a completed song in the tradional verse, chorus, verse, chorus, brigde, chorus - that with some tightening could be a real barn burner Hammond b3 rocker itself.

I am not going to slam some of the choices but i can live without this




but you never know what the end result will be ?
