I'm with Brandon - sorry! Luckily the worst, worst, worst song on it is the final track so I can just either stop the album or put it back to track 1 before listening to her horribly misjudged, ridiculously synthy version of I Still Miss Someone. I think that would have to be the worst song she's ever recorded. It's especially annoying cause Stevie can sing country but that arrngement...ughhh!

I really like most of the restof the album though and have no skipping issues with any other track. I liked seeing somelove for Fire Burning earlier in this thread too!

If, by "I Miss Someone", you meant to type "Alice", I agree completely.

I do like some of the songs on TOSOTM, but overall I find the album to be a downer. I can see how others find it magical - Stevie herself called it her magic album - but for me the lack of feeling in some of the vocals has a pretty dreary effect. The synth and slow pace only add to this.
I do like some songs that most everybody hates, including "Fire Burning", "Cry Wolf", and "Ghosts" (except for that terrible bridge). LWTG, and "Juliet" are just okay, and I think Stevie tries really hard on IMS. (LWTG has a lot of potential live.) My favorites are DTBTIC, ROF, and OML (which deserves a better title).
And BTW, while I like the song ROF, I remain the only Ledgie who absolutely hates the video. Hates.

Whole Lotta Trouble, Doing the Best That I Can, and I Still Miss Someone. The rest is pretty forgettable, and I have never been able to develop any appreciation whatsoever for Rooms on Fire...

This has been the only album in Stevie's career that I didn't know was being produced since I became a fan(Rumours era). Last I had known in 1988 was that FM was touring outside of America and the next thing you know it is May of 1989 and my friend Nancy asks me if I heard the new song by Stevie Nicks. I insisted there was no new song and she insisted there was. We diehards always know we are right because I figured she must have heard an obscure album track and figured it was something new. Anyhoo, she kept insisting so that promted me to call the local radio station and ask. The DJ confirmed what Nancy said. It was around 8PM when I made this call and the DJ said he was gonna play the song next at 10PM.
I'll never forget it. It was a full moon on a clear night in May of 1989 and as I looked out the window at the moon I heard for the very first time, Rooms On Fire.
To this day this song remains my favorite track on the record. I love every song on this album except TKOL which I can listen to now but for at least 20 years was skipable.

Whaaatt?! No way! Not cool!

I love this album too. I thought it was an improvement over Wild Heart and Rock A Little (tho those are both good albums as well).

My favorite from all the solo records.

I don't like The Rooms on Fire vid too AND if I do skip a song, it's that one. I liked it when it was released....now, I guess I'm kinda tired of it. But still, I rarely skip it.

[LittleSpacey]

Um, Vivfox, who is the fox in the shorts on your posts?? lol

[markolas]

I like I Still Miss Someone.

The only song on TOSOTM I really can't stand is Two Kinds of Love.

Markolas, who in the world do you think that you are foolin'? jk Couldn't help it.

I actually agree that as a complete album, it's the one I enjoy listening to the most. I just think it flows well, and is perhaps the only one of Stevie's album that creates and sustains a 'mood' throughout.
