maybe this is "pastel nostalgia" but it seems like it was on the radio
[B]all[B] the time - and I only just recently learned that Stevie
is the one singing backup!
Anyway I think it's an amazing song and that Stevie does an amazing
job singing on it.
Yes, I do need a thesaurus.

I have this CD. It's cool even though I heard John Stewart is not a nice guy. I also like 'Midnight Wind' and Stevie's vocals are great on it. Lindsey is also on this Stewart album.

My favorite is probably the "Heavy Metal" soundtrack (Stevie with the likes of Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Cheap Trick & Devo...heh).

"Boys On The Side" is great too even though I'm not too crazy about "Somebody Stand By Me".

Least favorite is "Against All Odds".

I should really seek this out. I remember they played the movie on VH1 at one point a few years back. I only watched a little bit, and fortunately "Blue Lamp" appeared very near the beginning, but that was some weird ****.

Not a soundtrack, but I did buy the Storytellers CD and was very pleasantly surprised by a lot of the artists on it.

Who all is on that and what are some of the better performances?

Come on, folks, I'm doing what I can here to start a nice friendly discussion thread, but you have to actually discuss!

The Storytellers Compilation CD is really great.

Other performers I can think of besides Stevie's great live cut of Eof17:

David Bowie
The Pretenders
Counting Crows
Sheryl Crow w/Stevie
Eurythmics
Dave Mathew
Natalie Merchant
John Mellencamp

Gah I'm sorry- I was eating, so I could only type with one hand!!

Yes, the Counting Crows-Rain King are awesome, Blues Traveler (I LOVE that song, but can't think of it right now) and Jewel Who Will Save Your Soul. ANd Dave Matthews does Crash really well.

[Dark Angel]

My faves are "Fast Times At Ridgemont High", "Streets Of Fire", and "Practical Magic".
Least fave is "Twister"

You know what I bought because Stevie was on it? Sheryl Crow's C'mon C'Mon (was that the name of the CD?). I wasn't too impressed when I discovered you could hardly hear Stevie on the song she supposedly sang on... but I digress. This became one of my favourite CDs that year, especially as it contained a few songs that helped me get over a really painful breakup.

All those other soundtracks I bought because Stevie is on them... well, I never really listened to the other songs!
