Tough decison...

Side 2 has more of my favorites (Hold Me, Straight Back, Oh Diane, Wish You Were Here), but Side 1 has Gypsy, my favorite Mac song ever.

I guess I'll go with Side 1 as I too like Only Over You and Love in Store.

I wanted so much to vote for Side 2, solely because of Hold Me, as there truly are some albums I could give up a whole side of in favor of that one track, which was the song that first made me a Mac fan and that I still consider a perfect pop song. BUT... it's the only song on Side 2 I love, and Side 1 has Love in Store, Can't Go Back, That's Alright, and Gypsy, so that's what I voted for.

I love the entire album, so I can't decide!! Maybe side 1, but every song is good!

{holds arms out to side, looks at left hand} Side 1 has "Gypsy" & "Love In Store", however it also has "Can't Go Back" & "Book Of Love"

{looks at right hand} Side 2 has "Hold Me" & "Eyes Of The World", however also has "Straight Back" & "Oh Diane"

We go into Overtime:

Side 1 also has "Only Over You", but also has "That's Alright"

Side 2 also has "Wish You Were Here", but also has "Empire State"


By default, it comes out a tie.

If there was any doubt, Side 1 has Gypsy.

Mirage has always been one of my favourites, sure it's overall vibe is mellow and safe, but with songs like Gypsy and Hold Me, you just can't go wrong. I'm going with side one with overall flow and song quality, it's great. I tend to go for the sides that have more than one Stevie song as I've never felt 3 songs per album on each of these albums was ever enough. All songs on the album are well arranged and performed, with Only Over and Empire being the soft spots in an otherwise solid effort.
