Yes, it's like the Holy Trinity to me. Can't touch this.

Gypsy is one of my all time favs.

Plumped for Straight Back even though I like both the other two.

Prediction: Gypsy will be the only song on Mirage that does not get a single vote. As it should be.

Straight Back got my vote. There are some cool lyrics in there, but I just really like the other two more.

For those who dislike That's Alright - I totally understand. But I love the demo, and that love carries over to the album version. Anyone remember the contest from a few years ago? Brian (LB5) ran it. Mikki did an AMAZING version of TA that I actually have on my iPod because I loved it so much. Would make Stevie proud...

Because I didn't vote, I can't see the poll. If I HAD TO PICK one song, but I won't do it. I just can't do it. But if I had to pick one it would be Gypsy. I base this on if I was gonna listen to Stevie's songs on Mirage, in which order would I play them. The answer is SB, TA & Gypsy, in that order.

Never got all the hoopla over Straight Back. It's certainly not bad, just the least interesting - probably the most forgettable of all SN's Mac songs. I do like that CM is so prominent on it. It's the closest thing we ever got to a Stevie/Christine duet.

Anyone who thinks Gypsy is "over-produced" has tin ears.

Easy....Straight Back. Almost always skip it. I'm in the camp that loves Stevie with a country-tinged song, so That's Alright ranks very high for me. Which is probably why I also highly-rate After The Glitter Fades and For What Its Worth.

I actually think that the younger Stevie was meant for rockin, but the older Stevie is meant for crooning. And I mean that in the very best sense. As we get older, our views and observations on life take a more wistful turn. As I say, you can't be on the "Edge of 17" your entire life.

Well, all three of these are in my top of the top when it comes to Stevie's songs. I voted with the majority.

A simple "I disagree" would suffice. There's no need to criticize someone's hearing just because you have a different opinion.

Count me as another that can't vote in this one. I really can't pick one over the other.

Yes! I had Mikki's version of That's Alright saved on my old computer. I lost it long ago, but it was fantastic.

As far as the poll goes, this is impossible -- three of my favorites.
