I don't think I have ever heard "Desert Angel" (I've never owned "Timespace") or if I have, I don't remember it. Guess I should listen to it now, huh?

Otherwise, I've pretty much heard everything else she has written. In regards to the tracks I hate...

EVERYTHING from "Behind The Mask"
"Whassa Matta Baybay" from Tango
SILVER GIRL!!!
"Barney & Friends" (Cheaper Than Free)
"New Orleans" (Anne Rice's Dream)
"I Still Miss Someone"
"Love Changes"
"I Will Run To You"
ALL of the dance remixes to "Planets Of The Universe"
85% of the Street Angel album and it's B-Sides...

...and that's about it.

I listened to "Call on Me For Magic" once (and not even the entire song) but didn't care for it.

Yes, that's the one for me too.

The first time I heard "I Don't Care" I thought 'Hmmm ok I kinda dig it' but halfway through the next listen I decided I... didn't care for it. Other songs I never listen to/get through: Cheaper Than Free, Soldier's Angel, I Can't Wait, Sister Honey, Fire Burning, Docklands, It's Only Love...

Agreed. As much as I ADORE Stevie's falsetto, this song is too oversaturated with it.

I suppose that song, as well as Sometimes it's a Bitch were not songs she sought out to record, but was persuaded to record by executives for purely for commercial incentive. It is surprising that Stevie, who is so strong-willed, is seemingly forced to follow through with these to these ill-advised strategies.

The songs are just okay, but so obviously contrived. It's perplexing that Stevie didn't have the motivation to delve into her own time/space and record, along with Desert Angel, two more of her own self-penned songs.

There are a few songs (demos) that I am not overly familiar with. But all recordings I have heard a million times. I think Desert Angel is a fantastic song. Its a small highlight in the Klonopin years. Maybe I am old and remember the context of the song. But it was arranged perfectly. It has a military drum beat that is so cool. And Stevie writing about world events was unheard of. I wish she would have sang it on the TimeSpace/Whole Lotta Trouble Tour.
Love is a Hard Game To Play is pretty good too.

I was gonna say that I'm a rare Stevie fan who's not all that gaga about Belladonna but in looking over the track list I realize that I do listen to a lot of the songs from it. It's really only The Highwayman and Kind of Woman that I never really listen to. Also, Docklands and Street Angel. But other than that I pretty much like all her other songs.

I know pretty much everything back to front and inside out with the exception of "You Can't Fix This" and "Crash Into Me" from Soundstage.

I've never made it through the whole of 24kg, because I think it's terrible. But I at least own and have listened to those songs more than once.

The Dealer turned out terribly. I know the song well from the demo, but nothing about the new one makes me want to listen to it.

I don't know much of OSOTM and Street Angel. I gave them a couple of spins when I became a fan. I also don't know half the demos and bootlegs I used to own. I'd download them to just to have them/upload for other people, but never listened to all of them.

I think I'm clearly in the minority here, but I don't know if there *is* a Stevie song that I skip. The woman can do no wrong! Period.
