If I had to pick one song to like, I guess it would be either TISL or Planets.

Only ones I don't really care for:

Whole Lotta Trouble
Desert Angel
Street Angel
Alice
The Nightmare


No one likes Jane

I swear we are twins.....except for Street Angel because I love that song

I love Jane. I esp love the music to it. The lyrics are a little lame in spots, but I can look over it because of what and who the song is about.

I, too, LOVE "Jane" - and - the demo or live version is even MORE fab. IMO.

I cannot believed I miss an opportunity to sing along to I Can't Wait. My life has no meaning now.

Next time that happens? PM me. I'm all over that.

Our angry, angry little dissention. If it's mean and nasty, he's gonna loooove it.

Don't worry, Greg... upon further review, it seems the "I Can't Wait" singalong is "to be continued."

It's too much.

Positive. I pretty much love all the songs everyone else hates (how can you hate The Nightmare?!) and hate all the songs everyone else loves (Sara, Dreams).

Yes I see, your expression when the phone rings.


Which is odd because my live video feed of your house isn't working today.

[cliffdweller]

Silver Girl (blech!)
Say You Will (I'm sick to death of this song!)
I Miss You
Everyday
Greta
Gate and Garden
Two Kinds of Love (mainly because I can't stand Bruce Hornsby's voice!)
Most of Rock a Little except the title track and I Sing for Things.

And a few covers I wish she wouldn't have done:
Free Fallin' (I think Tom did it fine the first time around)
It's Only Love (I know Sheryl wrote this for Stevie but her version is better!)
It's Late (I liked it at first but now I skip it every time)

However, Stevie's version of Reconsider Me makes up for the bad covers!

Yeah, these are pretty bad too.

[SuzeQuze]

I don't get all the hatin' on Dreams, I love that song. I know it's been played to death but that doesn't make it a bad song! I thought I was critical of Stevie's music but after reading some hate lists I realize I am not so much.

I hate When I See You Again and Welcome to the Room Sara. Also hate Desert Angel and Jane.

I dislike some stuff on Rock A Little, man her voice was shredded and she was so out of it. I don't like the production of a lot of the songs on OSOTM but I like the songs themselves. Someone else said it, it's the horns, eww. There should be more guitar on the songs too. I'm one of those people who didn't think SA was that bad and I even liked Docklands (ducks from eggs/tomatoes/etc).

That said, some of Stevie's songs have really had to grow on me, I didn't like them at all at first. I didn't like Beauty and the Beast, HAEWAFY, Sister Honey, Nightmare (still icky), Sometimes it's a Bitch, Love's a Hard Game to Play... Then I listen to the songs more and they grow on me and I like them.

Haha, I feel guilty if I do not like a Stevie song because I am so "loyal".

And folks who don't like Gypsy and Sara? I don't understand.
