Songs you just can't get into

No, I'm talking about That Made Me Stronger or Desert Angel. I'm talking about songs that were either hits when they were released or are well loved by fans.

I have a confession. I can't stand Talk To Me or Seven Wonders. I was in Taco Bell when the former came on and it just reminded me how much I hated that song. I've tried listening to it once every two weeks or so, and I feel like that guy who keeps passing out in a pool of vomit after drinking a six-pack of beer, trying to "acquire a taste" for it. I have the same problem with Seven Wonders. The helium-high, spazzy vocals irritate me to no end. It's like listening to a 16-year old girl on a sugar rush trying to sound like Stevie. Same thing with Talk To Me. I have no idea what happened to Stevie between 1983 and 1985 (or 1987) that made her want to find every flaw in her singing voice and push them to new heights, or why some people actually want to hear her sing like that again. I'm actually glad she can't sing that high anymore!

these weren't really hits, but the fans seem to love them

hate:
they highwayman

really really dislike:
twisted
beauty and the beast.

okay, I was kidding on B&TB, but the others are true.

Beauty definitely has to leave the setlist because I can't get into that. Close with Landslide.

i do not believe this at all

btw. I actually like that made me stronger and desert angel *ducks*

I don't know. It's not a song you get into and it's not a good way to close the show. Either end the show on a high note or close with a song that everybody knows. Let's also get a new outfit. Fresh, fresh, fresh!

hmmmmm...i'll be with you on possibly not ending with it, but I dont' think it should leave the set.

maybe actually end with edge

UnwindedDreams · #7 09-08-2007, 10:24 PM

Exactly. End with Edge because most of the crowd leaves after it or even before

I think Landslide would be her best bet for a closer. The Dance version because everybody who I ask at the show what their favorite song is say that she says this is for you Daddy.

well, it wasn't really a hit, but it opens nearly every show...

outside the rain. hate it. bores me.

all the hits, i have loved at one time or another. but at this point, i would probably be happy if i never heard dreams again in my life. and though it pains me to say... rhiannon and gold dust woman. too many shows, too much deja vu.

UnwindedDreams · #9 09-08-2007, 10:47 PM

Gold Dust Woman is another one. It's played all the time on Q104.3 and I'm bored. Dreams is fun and Rhiannon is rockin. Those I get into.

WOW. I 've been afraid to say THAT amongst other fans on the Ledge for years.

Nice to know others like the current voice, and are/were BAFFELED by the stint of Helium chippette, voice!

(i do like those two songs though)

I've never been too keen on Talk to me either . . . t.b.h. I've always considered it to be a "kid's song." Gotta admit, it's not exactly Stevie's most-sophisticated or most-beautiful stuff. :roll eyes:
Exact opposite end of the spectrum for me would be the demo version of Planets of the Universe and [Bella Donna[/I]. 24 Karot Gold too, believe it or not.

Hm, I dunno. I've gotten to where I can't stand her "bellowing" anymore...with the possible exception of The Dance, she has just bellowed, not really sung, since about 1985 or so. It was certainly in full evidence on TOSOTM and everything after that. Blech.
