What are your unpopular Stevie opinions

[bluecalmsea]

Bumping this ancient thread...

-I LOVE the Red Rocks concert video. No shame.

-Too many of Stevie's songs are over-produced. I almost exclusively listen to demos and outtakes. I love songs like "It's Not A Dream"- simple, nothing but Stevie. And I love the synth stuff. So much.

-I have tried for almost two years, but I do not like the "In Your Dreams" album at all. I do not connect with the music, production, or vocals. The whole thing feels too polished, too cautious for my personal tastes. However, I do love that so many people love it, that Stevie loves it, and that so many people consider it amazing

Also agreeing with these posts:

- I don't like and never have liked "The Other Side of the Mirror"
- Her songs on "Say You Will" sucked. Lindsey should have kept it a solo album. His songs on that record are FAR superior.

*The Tango/80s big hair and outlandish outfits made her look hot.

*The Nightmare, Welcome To The Room...Sara, When I See You Again and Two Kinds Of Love are all great songs.

*She's lying when she says she didn't know cocaine was dangerous.

2) I love the wavy, curly hair - HATE this straight stuff, I think it makes her look older

7) I think TISL would've been better without Sheryl's influence, some of the songs I just don't like AT ALL, don't think it was her best work yet, in fact I wish she'd write more like BellaDonna and WH, RAL, etc.

8) She's had some kind of minor work done face-wise, she looks just too incredible!

12) she really knows what her songs are about but won't tell, EVER - they're a secret

-Oh yeah...the coke deal...C'mon, even if everyone was doing it-somewhere in your mind you HAD to know it would come to no good end-

4. Stevie and Lindsey were in love in the early seventies but haven't been for over thirty years. Fans are the only ones that haven't moved on.

Reading through this thread, I see that other people love Mirror Mirror, Desert Angel, and When I See You Again as much as I do. God, I love WISYA, it's so raw.

I love the stuff that so many fans seem to hate as too synthy and overproduced, namely Wild Heart, Rock A Little, and The Other Side Of The Mirror. WH is my favorite Stevie album.

My favorite Stevie song is Batte Of The Dragon and I'm amazed at how little attention it gets.

Her post-Tusk voice is more effective than older recordings where she sounds so girlish. The rougher and shakier she sounds, the better.

Her best hair was the overfluffed Mirage/Wild Heart look.

(As a side note, something happened between Lindsey & Christine somewhere along the way. And from the sound of TITN, it was pretty intense.)

I don't know anything about the situation, obviously, but I always wondered what her family thought of the drugs. I can't imagine working for my sibling and just watching him/her spiral. (I don't know if Chris just "watched," it just kind of seems that way from an outsider's perspective).
