Awwww. Well, I can't really blame you but I still love it. I was thinking about my latest crush the other day while listening to it. Her name's not Diane but it rhymes with Diane so I was singing it and putting her name in. It was so fun, like the song.

But I can understand why you don't like it. I hate "Family Man." It's the only one I feel that way about. Though I will say that, unlike Stevie's worst Tango offering, WISYA, it's actually listenable.

Congratulations, Hill!

My faves on 'Out Of The Cradle': "Wrong," "Doing What I Can," "You Do Or You Don't," "Turn It On" and "All My Sorrows."
I love the entire album actually, but I've never found an appreciation for "Street Of Dreams." Every now and then I'll let it play through, but more often than not, I have to skip it... along with the spoken intro to "Surrender The Rain."

I really latched onto a couple of these songs during my "dark period" about ten years back. The very first time I ever really emotionally connected with Lindsey's work (aside from "I'm So Afraid").

"You are the man, do what you can... just go out and turn it on...."

OOTC was the greatest thing I had EVER heard when I first purchased it about 3 years ago. I still love it alot. My favorites are This is the Time, Wrong, Street of Dreams, You Do OR You Dont and Countdown. The only songs I dislike are Surrender the Rain and This Nearly Was Mine

Thanks Brian and Hawkeye; I like all the songs y'all like (right now I like all of it besides the spoken intro).

Brian, I know what you mean about connecting emotionally with his music. That doesn't happen for me every time, either. I've connected with some of the GOS songs and now this. Very much this one.

Hawkeye, how come you don't like "Surrender the Rain" and "This Nearly Was Mine"? "This Nearly Was Mine" is the only one I had heard beforehand. I heard a live version, actually (which I think was better than the album version) and I LOVED it. You and I are never consistent with the song likes and dislikes, though. We agree on "Angel" but I know you hate "Miranda" and I love that one.

'Out Of The Cradle' was definitely the album that changed my opinion of Lindsey -- for the better.
I always loved his music for the sound of it and the production finesse. But it was always for those aesthetic qualities more than anything else. Like I said, until 'Cradle,' "I'm So Afraid" was pretty much his only song that I really connected with in a major way. But 'Cradle' really hit me where I live.

Unfortunately, I can't really say the same about too many of his 'Gift Of Screws' tracks. Not that I don't love those, too -- it's just that there were really only two or three of them that I truly connected with.

OOTC is superb!! Kick A$$ guitar work, melting vocals and need I say more... glad you like it!

Oh, David, I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. I can relate, though. I had a good friend who was plunged into the depths of despair after contemplating the lyrics to "Holiday Road." Only after years of therapy was he able to overcome the depression this brought on, but to this day he can't watch any of the National Lampoon's Vacation series. Luckily the joy Lindsey brings outweighs these few tragic incidents.

Surrender the Rain was my second favorite song off OOTC the first few months I owned it, now it just annoys me, so who knows this could happen to you!

And This Nearly Was Mine is just a bad instrumental to my ears. Lets see, I like Miranda better then I do Surrender the Rain

I was right! You do know Stevie.

I thought it was more than 7 months?

I just wanted to share this.

Well, now you can be REALLY sure how good he is

I still think it's his best solo release.
