Missed Opportunity

I know some people think it would have just been another typical Stevie song - meaning, it wouldn't really have stood out compared to her better songs - but I've never really felt like it sounded much like her. Just out of curiosity though, I'd love to know what she would have done with it if she'd accepted it and made it her own.

As for DCAHNM, I know it was written for her, but that is such a classic Tom Petty song...I think it came out right in the end with him recording it instead of her. It's at its best when they sing it together though.

Sorry but I think Stevie singing DCAHNM would of done better than tom's. I like her version of Free Fallin better than Tom. She brings out something in Tom's music. Nobody would of been able to hear Stevie sing Talk to me, but she put a great vocal on it. These Dreams is better than 95% on Rock a Little. I wish it would of been a different album. She had the stature to get the great songs, but couldn't get over herself. Her career would of been much different.
