Best production on IYD?
So which track do you think is the best produced on In Your Dreams?
My vote actually goes to Annabel Lee. The mystical little intro with the echoey pianos is just fantastic. I adore the sprinkling of strings in key places. Stevie's spacey sounding double harmonies are very Other Side Of The Mirror esque. I think the last 2 minutes of the song are especially cool. Where the various layers of the song are gradually stripped away, only leaving Stevie's voice at the end. The original demo of this song was pretty blah, but the finished product really sparkles.

OH, PLEASE...you should have your fingers rapped 100x's by a 300 lb nun with an 18" ruler for even mentioning TOSOTM in relation to IYD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 Talk about your opposite ends of the Stevie Nicks spectrum of album quality!!!!!!!!!!!! JEEEEEEEZUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't think even ONE shower would make me feel clean enough right now....I need one of those nuclear plant scrub downs!! It's analagous to a dog eating it's own ****! C'mon Louie, I don't need that sonic "visual" giving me the "yaks". I take enough Maalox as it is!!! {heavy sigh} The album is a production masterpiece from the opening notes of "Secret Love" to the final note of "Cheaper Than Free"...consistent throughout. One track isn't produced better than any other...that's the beauty of the album...that's what makes the album flow....that's what makes it a complete artistic piece as a whole. There's NOT the inconsistent production like on her previous albums...yes, and "that one" included.

 You're my favorite, Steve!  The album is most certainly her most consistent effort in 2 decades. Easily up there with her very best. The neat little thing about the album is there are nods to almost all of her past albums in regards to style, production, and lyrics. For instance, the title track is so very Rumours. For What It's Worth is very Street Angel. There are lyric lines lifted from at least 4 of her past songs which I've counted. The album just seems very purposefully woven into a full circle.

 Yep, the SONGS kind of are reminiscent of earlier albums, but the PRODUCTION is NOW...THIS is the album I've been waiting for Stevie to make since the painful disappointment of Wild Heart...the inconsistent Rock A Little, the yak-inducing "that album" ("Rooms On Fire" being the exception)...she ALMOST got there with TISL...almost...I was giving that to be her "career masterpiece"...and then IYD comes along and blows 'em all out of the water!! Dave Stewart is a genius...too bad he spent all that time with that hack Annie Lennox when he could've been producing Stevie Nicks albums. As I just posted in another thread...I think y'all are going to hate me just as much now that I've drank the "chiffon kool-aid" of IYD as you did when I was the grumpy ogre of Stevie-Land! The ol' "be careful what you wish for" thing!

haha i swear I could eat popcorn and sit back and laugh nearly every time Steve posts...
I think the song I like the most is You May Be the One... bluesy, rocky... The only song I really dislike is New Orleans.

Just remember don't overdo the butter...too much cholesterol is bad for you. (DAMN, the thought of popcorn sounds damn good right now, but it's just too late.) Never thought you see this side of chiliD, did you?

For me, the best production is on Moonlight. The violins give me chills. That song is immersed in rich sound and I soak it up on every listen.

Aren't Mick Fleetwood's drums part of the production of Annabel Lee?If so not sure why they were not mentioned ..his best performance on one of her songs since Seven Wonders.
