Favorite Closer

The Highwayman it is. Perfect song for an (almost) perfect album.

I don't care for Love Is (too maudlin), HAEWAFY (I don't feel the passion in the studio version and it's rather jarring after such a synth-'n-rock heavy album), or Jane (good lord). I have a soft spot for I Still Miss Someone and BATB is beautiful.

Love Is. I also like Desert Angel.

You would have to be a hard ass about it.

Perfect, Perfect I say!

So I can assume you like Think About It? Everybody else here seems to dislike it, but I love it.

Sorry, not a fan of After the Glitter Fades. I can take Think About It any day of the week, but not that other one.

Well, I never thought you'd say that here out on The Ledge
I never thought you'd ever heard this song play
But After The Glitter Fades is quite a great old song
And Family Man, well you know, is quite the other way...

I don't like self-indulgent Stevie.

When she writes and records songs like that, I can't help but roll my eyes. Thank the heavens there are usually only one on each album.

I like to follow that one with a nice shot of Ghosts.

*shudders*

And if I'm feeling extra special, I pop in Street Angel to hear her sing about laundromats, homeless people, denim jeans, Egypt, and chimpanzees.

"Love Is" and "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You"

Ghosts is one of the best on TOSOTM.

WOW can't bel;ieve we agree again. After the Glitter Fades is the only song I don't like on Bella donna.

OK now we stop agreeing. I love all those Street Angel songs, especially the one with Egypt Well I don;t cre much for the chimpanzee, but it's nothing compared to them Blue eyes

Ha. It's one of the worst songs ever recorded. The music doesn't flow with the lyrics, the lyrics themselves are so clunky and self-important, I can't stand it.

Well, it was good while it lasted.

I like most of her solo stuff (I'm still not that keen on RAL, but I've warmed to it), but I can't tolerate Street Angel. Her singing is just blah, there's no passion to it. Half of the songs she didn't even write and the ones she did write aren't very good. And the production is so muddy and middle-of-the-road. If we want to get specific, the artwork is horrendous, too.

On a positive note, though, I do adore Greta and Just Like A Woman. Love Is Like A River is a good rocker with incomprehensible lyrics.
