TWH or BD. For Mac albums her best is Mirage.

You think it's worse than a lot of the songs on Street Angel?

I'm not sure which Stevie solo album I consider the best at this point. Not too long ago, I would've chosen Bella Donna without a doubt, followed by TISL, but now I'm inclined to say The Wild Heart. I'm starting to wonder why people put Bella Donna above it, except that "Outside the Rain" is my favorite solo song of hers. And then the thing with The Wild Heart is that I don't think "Beauty and the Beast" is one of her best songs, but there are so many other standout tracks on that album for me. So, I don't know.

I suppose her best work with the Mac is on Tusk, though I truly adore all of her Mirage songs.

Most of it is drivel. Each song seems to have it's moment, but the good moments are wrapped in tacky packages.

All of her albums both solo and with Fleetwood Mac are the best!!! None is better that the other!

One might think I would automatically spring forth and cry "Rock A Little"! But, actually I think that 'Bella Donna' is her greatest album. I can sit and listen to it from end to end (and usually do) and never have to hit the forward button to skip a song I'm not nuts about. And, the album sounds so complete. Rather like a 'concept album', I guess. I was only 11 when the album came out, but was already a Stevie disciple and when the songs were played on the radio and everyone was like "ahh, Stevie Nicks without Fleetwood Mac? I love this song!!" I was like "of course you do, how could this not be wonderful?"

Oh, and I agree with David, maybe OSOTM could be saved by a different producer. Strip away all the tinkly-winkly synths and add some guitar, percussion and Hammond organ. 'Blue Denim' was saved on SA by such a treatment, compare it to the dull, flat version she included on the 'Enchanted' set.

It´s hard to say which album is best, because on each album I have some very favurite songs and some I really don´t like.

I´d say Timespace, because of the song list.

And with FM? Probably, Tango in the Night. I love that album and also Tango tour. Each album is very adherent to tour, so If I said sometimes that I´m not fan of 75-83 albums and tours, that doesn´t mean that I don´t like songs from that times. I love them, but If I listen to them, it´s mostly some record from late 80s or 90s concert.
