Stevie songs you honestly don't like - Page 5

I am a bit shocked at the lack of Sorcerer love myself. I prefer the old version with Linds much more though. I do like how she used the higher vocals on the TISL version but still, the song needs Lindsey to be complete, at least for me. I have always liked the song, mostly for the imagery it brings to my mind of a young, innocent SnL, shopping their 12 demos around big, bad Hollywood. "all around black ink darkness......show me the high life..". Its interesting to hear Stevie writing/singing from that perspective. Not knowing if they would make it, looking for someone to show her the way, being afraid of all the unknown and the lifestyle, yet yearning for that "high life". That is probably the reason I like Garbo so much too, for the glimpse I get into Stevie's real feelings when she was so young.

I can sorta see why most of these songs could be disliked or hated by people but BOTD?? That's the only choice on this entire list that truly shocked me.

Funny comment though

But then again I was one of the few that loved "The Other Side of the Mirrow"

It's okay--I was just teasin' ya. I'm not mad about the production on TISL. I'm crazy about most of the songs, but the production bothers me to this day.

I know we've discussed your dislike for TISL previously, and I cannot believe I'm still friends with you!

And I can't believe I'm friends with a "live version" Gypsy hater!

The Egypt line is so atrocious that I laugh for hours upon hearing it.

When you are laughing - does that mean you cannot speak - if so - play it over and over please

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

I just liked it cause it rocked, and she wailed on it, and it was more dynamical then a lot of the Street Angel songs. I Sing For the THings. i usually like fast songs, but to me that song is so heartfelt, and heartbreaking. and pretty short and concise, which is good.

Yes, i'm at my parents. A puff would sure be great right now. My mom is watching Jessye Norman (the opera lady) sing an Xmas song with a trumpet player for accompaniment. it's like, strident times two...

Love Is Like A River is a bad song, but it blows Kick It out of the water. The only true rocker on the album.

I liked what Rolling Stone had to say about I Sing For the Things, especially how they tore her to shreds over the "I'll take off my cape for you" line. GREAT review.

It only looks longer because I dismissed entire albums without naming all the ****ty songs.

I think it has to do with the overproduction and what they did to her voice. It's cold as ice on most of the songs. A lot of the lyrics are top-notch, though. The title song is one of her best ever.
