The best of the Klonopin years!

[diamondsnake]

If you had to make a "Best of" album from Stevie's Klonopin years what would you include? Let's say this era is from Tango in the Night to Street Angel. I think that is about right.

Here's mine:

1. Affairs of the Heart
2. Seven Wonders
3. Welcome to the Room Sara
4. No Questions Asked
5. Doing the Best that I can
6. Rooms on Fire
7. Ghosts
8. Long Way to Go
9. Freedom
10. Sometimes It's a Bitch
11. Blue Denim
12. Rose Garden
13. Paper Doll

She really made some good songs I think!

1) Rooms on Fire
2) Ooh My Love
3) Blue Denim
4) Affairs of the Heart

Seven Wonders is decent, yet annoying. I didn't include it because the song wasn't hers.

That's it. This period was just substandard for her.

Okay, I'll add Rose Garden.

Really, the Klonopin years only consisted of Behind the Mask, Timespace and Street Angel.

Most of the songs from Tango in the Night and The Other Side of the Mirror were written before she was dragged down by Klonopin. The Tango songs were trainwrecks from her coke/booze recovery. The OSOTM songs, for the most part, were probably her only moments of clarity during that time. So, for me, it's hard to clump them all together and pull out a top ten list.

I hope you're adding Rose Garden to the substandard category, cause that song blows chunks. And i like Street Angel.

I'm not going to include the Mirror album in my list because she wasn't suffering from Klonopin too bad at that time. And there are only two songs that I really can't stand on that album, Ghosts and Two Kinds of Love.

1. Greta
2. Street Angel
3. Just Like A Woman
4. Affairs of the Heart

That's it.

And I was going to let the fact you like "Street Angel" go.

The album? clearly you like it to, only you like the song from the other side of the tracks then where i come from... My faves are Kick It, Blue Denim, Greta, Just Like a Woman, Love is Like a Rivah is ok, and yes, Street Angel is ok.
It's just mellow stevie. I've had it for 8 years or so, and i got OSOTM about a month ago - i still, overall, like Street Angel better...maybe someday love will change my mind, but...

I was referring to the song Street Angel.

I'm not that big on OSOTM, either. Actually, SA is not my least favorite Stevie album. It's RAL.

Ah, thank you! you made me remember that i like no questions asked (the regular one) but rarely listen to it...that's the one that has "well it's, hard to be civil and it's real hard to be nice"?

Yes . Great song, but the regular version is a bit flat IMO. I prefer her demo#2 and those from BTM because she risked there a bit more.
