IYD is unequivocaly her best record. Bella Donna is amazing and will always be considered the benchmark because it was the first and it went to number 1. As much as I love that record, I think IYD is just better.

For me, Bella Donna will always be closest to my heart, although I do like much of The Wild Heart. As for the new CD, it ranks in the top half of her collection. I certainly enjoy it more than TIS or SA.

But I generally like the songs most others rate on the lower end: For What Its Worth is one of my Top 5 Stevie solos. I also really enjoy You May Be The One, Secret Love, Cheaper Than Free and Soldier's Angel.

Those songs seem like wiser choices than tunes about vampires and fairy-tales. Those seem a bit outdated in today's world, and almost beneath her "crystal visions" of living a hard 62 years. But then again, I'm nearly 50 myself, and those flights of fantasy do not really connect with me as they did some 20-25 years ago, when I was young, innocent and selfish.

I agree Dallas Dude, Bella Donna will always be that once in a lifetime album and I love, love the voice on the Wild Heart (I can forgive the hopelessly enchanted children and that gate that needs guarding . But it's hard not to put this collection up there with the best of the best. It is just fantastic.

I have to agree with this. I understand people's sentimental attachments to other albums, but I think IYD definitely has the stronger material, better consistency, great production, excellent vocals and catchier songs.

Why is there no emoticon for despair?
