Oi! I take exception to that! Deep and proper serious exception and everything and I'm really annoyed and, look, this is an actual frown you've made happen and it's not fair, so I hope you're happy because now I have to go and find that other thread about Stevie's dogs or her chandelier just so I can go on living.

Poe co-wrote AL. Dave Stewart co-wrote YMBTO. But I love them both. Happy as a pig in poo, me, whatever wins this now that IS can't.

Team YMBTO are master strategizers. Should be interesting to see it up against the Moonlight juggernaut. I actually don't know which one I would choose (they're my 3rd and 4th fave songs on the album).

I for one am dcelirious to see FWIW on the skids here.

It's a no-brainer that Moonlight is going to win.

Annabel Lee is very unique in that it just might be the only song that Stevie has written the music for, but not the words ( for the most part).

YMBTO's " sophistication" has nothing to do with Stevie and everything to do with Dave Stewart.

I love YMBTO but I love Annabel Lee more.

Well the best part of Annabelle Lee, the bridge, has nothing to do with Stevie and everything to do with Waddy. And this round should be over by now. Are people waiting for a last minute Annabelle Lee save? 911 views, compared to 600 for the last round. Are you kidding?

Well, no it's Rolling Stone reviews are not quite amazing. Remember, Rumours. They didn't like Dreams.

Annabel Lee has an amazing track, the production is super, the music is wonderful, it has that amazing interlude, and it's melody/chord structure wise it's rather complex for something Stevie wrote herself.

Not really. It's very similar to "Gypsy" composed to the chords of C, Bb, F & G, with Dm added for flair during the interlude. For me, I instantly connected the dots to Gypsy, even when I just heard it in demo form, thats why this song sounds very vintage FM/SN. And actually, Gypsy is a little more complex because it utilizes some F & B major 7th's & F major 6th chords but I digress......

Not True. Stevie wrote at least 50% of the song when you consider she composed the melody and the songs whole chord structure. Waddy just added little interlude Dm A Dm C Bb etc....EAP the lyrics obviously.

yeah, the interlude is the best part of the song and takes the song in a different direction.

P.S. I'm getting real tired of these polls. I'm talking crap about songs, but the truth is there is not really a bad song on the album.

This song reminds me of gypsy as well, I also picked up on the similar chord structure early on, especially the chorus

I totally agree with your PS. This album is so fantastic it really does have a little something for everyone, I think that's why this poll has been different than any of the other album polls, usually universally the stinkers and clunkers are quite obvious, this album just truly is amazing.
