Let's see - "ridiculously synthy" - "worst song she's ever recorded" - yup, that's "Alice".

Wow!! Alice is one of my fave songs she ever wrote!! To each his own, right?

LittleSpacey · #33 07-21-2011, 11:52 AM

But I get it. It's like when people tell me they like the song Tusk, and I'm like, "seriously?"

True, and I readily acknowledge that this song is hugely popular here on The Ledge (along with everything else I dislike). But I know I'm not alone either; I have never seen such a mass exodus to the restrooms as in 1989 when the opening chords of this song started playing at Alpine Valley. People fled, it was like Attack of the Blob.

Easily in my Top 10 from Lindsey. "Seriously."

Another example of To each his own.

I do love LB, though. Genius.

Jake, where in TX are you? Im in SA.

I play this album rarely...I absolutely have to be in the mood for it and all those keyboards!

But when I do play it I listen to it in its entirety. I like to listen to it in my car, for some reason...

In my basement, I'm still working on my laser-equipped drone, that when operating at prime functionality will seek out the source of any audio device playing a song from TOSOTM and destroy it; whether it be CD, cassette, LP, mp3, m4a, wav, FLAC whatever.

Just remember that the next time you're listening to it...it might do you well to keep looking up &/or behind you.

Don't think I'm kidding. If you're hearing those horns on "Whole Lotta Trouble" and there's some sort of odd out of pitch buzz, you'd better yank out the ear-buds, drop the iPod and run, run, run!

ChiliD just reminded me, Whole Lotta Trouble was a song I enjoyed for many years and now I skip it everytime.
Back in 1991 when I was lip syncing dressed as Stevie onstage in a gay club I was performing this song. The Queen who was running this show was jealous of me and yanked the needle off the record when she got sick of hearing Stevie sing over and over at the end of the song, "whole lotta trouble for you."Anytime I hear this song I think of that night.

I can't understand the virulent hatred for this neat little reggae-inspired version of a country song. I rank it as one of the three TOSOTM songs I enjoy.

Two Kinds of Love on OSOTM hurts my ears like Docklands does on SA

jay · #43 07-22-2011, 03:01 AM

As this was the very first Stevie solo album I ever bought, back in 1989, it's always been my favourite. I don't get the hate for I still miss someone, I love the original but I think her version is just amazing.

Dodfather · #44 07-22-2011, 04:54 AM

I'm not too keen on Two Kinds Of Love. It's ok (apart from Kenny G - everything involving him sucks) but it could have been so much better. I really like Bruce Hornsby and so I think the two of them could have done a much better collaboration. In fact, I was listening to Look Out Any Window the other day and thought Stevie would sound great singing backup on it.

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.

Wow.....how cool was that? So magickal with the full moon too!

I too thought back in 1989 she was pretty much done....nothing really surfaced about her after RAL and the news of her cocaine rehab. Next thing I knew was that FM reunited to play at Clinton's inauguration. Then came the Dance! And did I ever Dance...for joy!
