I'm willing to bet that does go on here often enough, but from what I know about those two, I have to say that I don't think they're being insincere. I think they really can't bring themselves to like the song and were trying to explain why they don't like it. I would probably be doing the same thing if people continued to tell me that I'm crazy for not liking a song.

Not that I understand why they don't like it.

Many people really love this song and there is a reason, it is brilliant. I wonder if those who dont get it are listening with an open mind?

It perfectly captures all things Stevie.

We're not baiting, we just don't like it. Also, the thread is called "Like or Dislike Sable on Blond" which leaves room for all opinions. I'm glad people like it a lot, I just don't get it. To me the song is "ok". Before you accuse us of baiting, or not listening with an open mind, you should realize that most people on here like songs others don't like as much. It's the natural way.

Okay... I listened to it...

I have to say the lyrics are very, very spectacular.
The backing vocals are good... the opening is kind of cheesy...
The drumming is way cool.
It sounds just like another song... and I'm tired right now... so I can't think. lol
I'm pretty sure it sounds just like a mac song... but I'm lost right now.

Overall, it's good, but kind of simplistic.
I could learn to love it.

On edit: DREAMS! lol

Thanks for going ahead and listening to it. I have to agree with the "Dreams" comparison. I also think that "Outside the Rain" sounds a lot like "Dreams" (and SOB).

I realize the thread is called like or dislike. It is not called Like or Dislike and if you dislike go on and on about it, I mean we get it you dont like it. I guess I feel like some are trying to rain on our parade (those of us who think its ultimate Stevie material) I just dont get the continued negativity.

Oh and its nothing personal, really, im sure you are a very charming individual and I do value a diverse perpective in all things.

Yup. It's exactly the same formula.



How I yearn for an OTR/Dreams/SOB morphing on tour.

The drumming is very cool. I was thinking that earlier when I was listening to it. I love the opening drums....but yes, the opening vocals are a bit on the cheesy side.

Well it is called like or dislike, yes. It isn't called If you like it go on and on about how great it is, and if you dislike it shut up. I love the song personally, but I can see how some wouldn't. I didn't like it for years. In fact it just hit me recently how great it is. It doesn't bother me if people don't like it. To each there own.

Well, of course! Outside The Rain and Sable On Blonde are Dreams, parts two and three, respectively.

Cept sharing positive thoughts on a pleasurable experience is oh so much more entertaining. Try it you might like it.

And I didnt go on and on about it like your tirade did through-out this thread, basically repeating the same thing over and over.

Last time on this thread so a response on your part would be futile.

SOB is my fav song on this CD. Absolutely love it. Wish there were demos, and wish she did it live.

[skcin]

YES! THIS is the kind of stuff I've been waiting for!

THIS is why I started doing these polls - to have people discuss their like or dislike for individual songs and specify WHY! Not just "I love it" or "I hate it." I want substance & I'm finally getting it from many different people.

Keep going, people, argue your points. Attack or defend away!

Stand Back is a powerhouse song, it fills the room with energy, especially live. Nightbird's lyrics and vocals are overpowered by the synth throughout the entire song - I don't hear anything else. On Stand Back I hear the beat & Ms. Nicks way more than the synth, other than at the very beginning.


So, yes, Sable On Blond...carry on.

Welcome to the board! I like your screen name.

I think there is a demo or two around, or an outtake or something. Not sure, someone else will know.

EDIT: I found one demo. Amber you'd love it, I promise. VERY rockin'. It cuts off though - anyone have a complete alternate Sable on Blond?

It also isn't called "if you like it, go on and on about it." They have just as much right to express their dislike as you and I do to express our love for it. If I dislike a song and there's a discussion going on about it, I'll say whatever I feel like saying about it as often as I see fit. Same goes for if I love another song greatly. This place would be duller than bathwater if we all had to bite our tongues about what we liked and didn't like. I, personally, enjoy discussing a song I like with others who don't like it; it's much more interesting than a bunch of people gushing over it without original thoughts and opinions to bounce off of each other.
