My Stevie compilatin album for a friend

[Dodfather]

Hi everyone,

A good friend of mine, after hanging around with me for so long, is belatedly getting into Fleetwood Mac and Stevie. After giving one of my several copies of Rumours and watching the classic albums documentary I'm going to see how she fares with Tusk, haha.

Amyway, she asked me to make her a cd of Stevie's solo stuff and so that's what I spent some time on today. I'm sure these kinds of threads have been done time and time again but hey, they're always good for fun debate and provoking outrage so I thought I'd share my choices with you and see what you thought.

I'd also be interested in what you think of the sequencing, as I was constantly changing the order of the tracks until I was happy with them.

I set myself some ground rules: All tracks had to be from her solo output (have done a companion Mac cd for her), all albums had to be represented and I focused on her biggest hits and my favourite album cuts. I think there are a few random choices in there!

Here's what I've come up with for her:

1. Stand Back (was gonna go for Soundstage version but since it's an introductory cd I didn't.)

2. Stop Draggin' My Heart Around
3. Rooms On Fire
4. Leather and Lace
5. Enchanted
6. Talk To Me
7. Too Far From Texas
8. How Still My Love (again, not soundstage one. It was too long!)
9. If Anyone Falls (No 'in love' on my tracklist. I'm old school - haha!)
10. Think About It
11. Blue Denim
12. After The Glitter Fades
13. Sorcerer
14. Crash
15. Fall From Grace (again, the album version, not Soundstage)
16. Beauty and the Beast (it HAD to be Soundstage version this time!)
17. Edge of Seventeen (and I've just noticed the 'seventeen' is track 17 now - d'oh!)

What do you guys think? I'm pretty happy with it but I do know that Rock A Little, Other Side of the Mirror and Street Angel are undererpresented but hey, there's always volume 2 for slightly more obscure tracks!

Let the debate begin....
