RAL Poll

[Christopher]

No Spoken Word!!! all the way...she should have released this song...here in Denver...they played this song all the time on the radio...back in the day when FM rock radio would play album tracks.

Any chance Jimmy Iovine will ever produce another Stevie Nicks album?

I think that would be a BIG F A T NO!!!....especially since Jimmy is a big record mogul now at Interscope, making big big bucks involved in the careers of artists like Eminem & 50 cent of all people!!....

Although I loved Stevie and Jimmy's collaborations on BD & WH especially...I think that was a time and place that will never be again.....

I always wonder what RAL would have been like if Stevie and Jimmy didnt have their falling out.....I think it would have been a rock classic...w/Reconsider me...Imperial hotel and who knows what else.....instead it became an electric jolt of frenetic energy...which was exciting at the time....but hasnt aged well in spite of itself....

I remember that time very well....impatiently waiting for RAL....which was suppose to be released the fall of 84'...but Stevie shelved most of the recordings w/ Jimmy and a year later we had the RAL we all know and love

I think she also lost a little momentum with that extra year delay....in the meantime...all these new women emerged on the scene changing the musical landscape...most notably Madonna and Cyndi Lauper and the comeback of Tina Turner.

of course, now we know that Stevie at this time was battling personal demons and major addiction problems...she was really combative at this time....and that came through on the RAL album and especially the tour.....That was a EYE popping STEVIE ON THE ROAD....One I will never ever forget....thank god we have it documented w/ the RED ROCKS video...even though they tried to spruce it up
