Totally agree, 100%. I would think Stevie songs with a bit more mystery and passion would easily win over this. But, you have to consider that most people voting may not even own the album and are not fully informed when they vote. It's like picking the handsome candidate over the one who is actually qualified.

Whenever I read the results of these polls I usually think Stevie fans have no taste in music. They can't tell a good song from a bad one. However the truth is, is that we all have different tastes and that is what makes us all so special.

I must agree I am often really puzzled at people's choices as far as Stevie's music is concerned. It's as if we are listening to a totally different woman. Not that that's bad, but it does tend to make stuff like Blue Denim punch far beyond its weight.

I don't mean to say that Blue Denim is a bad song; it's just that when placed against some of the other material I don't consider it the be-all-end-all track of the album. It also comes down to what songs you feel are representative of the Street Angel era, and for many people those songs are Jane(the bad, Maybe Love and Blue Denim. Of those three, Blue Denim is my favorite.

For me, Love Is Like A River, Street Angel & Rose Garden are the era-defining tracks on Street Angel. Of course it's disappointing to see your favorites voted off.

Street Angel is the only Stevie Nicks album I have hence the reason why I only participated in that albums Survivor rounds.

Occasionally, I do a few Fleetwood Mac polls , most of my fav's don't typically win. Though the song that does win I most of the time like, it just usually isn't my fav.

I missed the poll, but I'd have kicked off "Blue Denim" at this point. The other 2 are simply better songs.

"Kick It" is the only song off of Street Angel that I listen to regularly... I would've wanted it to win. Too bad I just looked at this thread!

Dani, I think me, you and Louie are the only 3 that really love Kick It!

No, it's one of my three favorites on the album. I would have been fine with it winning.

The thing about these challenges is that I always thought certain songs were fan favorites and these challenges show me that I was completely wrong LOL.....

Regarding Street Angel....Maybe Love, Greta and Street Angel are my favs,,,,I never liked Blue Denim (sorry)...

Soft and tender album closer, Stevie purrs and pulls at your heartstrings, gets me every time. Can't help it.

BTW It's about Jane Goodall, so the chimpanzee reference is perfectly logical.
