I agree with you there. I hadn't thought of it that way, but doesn't it kind of sound like her heart's not in it? Does anyone else think that?

Sorry, I have to disagree on Free Fallin, I absolutely love it, I love the whole different slow aspect of it, it just puts a whole different twist on it, I guess that's why I like it.

I love Stevie's version of "Free Fallin". I think she really sounds like she is enjoying doing it too.

"I'm gonna leave this WOOOOORRRRRRRRRRLLLLLLDDDDD for awhile" - how anyone cannot love the passion she puts in that line I will never know

I LOVE her version of that song

My nephew (5) also loves it and likes to listen to it over and over - it's so cute hearing him sing along - it's such a great fun song that I just love - even though it's not Stevie's

UGH I can't stand this song!!!!!!! I have a problem with cover songs in general (with a few exceptions, this obviously NOT being one of them) and the idea of someone covering a Petty song just irks me - especially when the song is covered by someone whose own musical style is completely different than the original artist. Besides that, one of the things that made the original song great was the actual music and she's stripped that all away in this one.
I'm sorry, but only two musicians come to mind that could do justice to a Petty song -- Bob Dylan and the late great Warren Zevon. But most definitely NOT Stevie Nicks.

The one that immediately pops up in my head is Just Like a Woman....... That would probably be the number one least favourite.

markolas · #**252** 01-23-2005, 01:26 PM

I don't think I've posted to this thread, and I don't want to go back through to see, so I'm posting my list now:

Dislike:

Gate and Garden (WTF is she singing about?)
I Will Run to You
Sable on Blond (again...WTF is she singing about?)
Desert Angel (Operation Desert Shield! Operation Desert Storm!)
Love's a Hard Game to Play (Brett Michaels? WTF was she thinking?)

Could've Done Better:

Rhiannon (studio version)
Welcome to the Room...Sara
When I See You Again (she stares at the stairs...OMGWTF?)
Sometimes It's a Bitch (Again with the heavy metal has-beens)
Too Far from Texxaaas (Nice song, dreadful vocal)
That Made Me Stronger (The "can you write this for me, he says no you write your songs yourself" line is what sinks this one)

I know that I have previously expressed my displeasure with her rendition of I Still Miss Someone...but it has really grown on me. I have also grown to love Alice...indeed, I think OSOTM may have surpassed RAL as my favorite Stevie album.

Miss Vicky · #**253** 01-28-2005, 12:07 PM

I'm not exactly a Stevie fan so this isn't the best subject for me to respond to, but she does have a lot of songs that I do really enjoy, so I'll try to be fair about the ones that I really don't enjoy.

Crystal (from the Practical Magic soundtrack) Lyrically this is a very beautiful song and sounded beautiful on both FM and BN and I'm not saying that because Lindsey sang it. It could have been equally as beautiful if she had done the vocal but only while she was still a young woman. Her now rough voice does not do the song justice.

Unconditional Love - I know that she didn't write this song, so she can't be blamed for the words, but she can be blamed for choosing to sing them. There's something about the line "The one condition of love is there are none at all." that just irritates me!

Planets of the Universe (from TISL) - I don't much care for this album at all but this song in particular bugs me. I've heard the demo version of this song. I LOVE THE DEMO VERSION OF THIS SONG. But this-- this just rips out all the emotion of the demo (everything that made this song great) and puts SYNTHETIC BEATS to it!!! WTF????

Goodbye Baby - never liked this song even as a demo. I know its a very personal song for her but I could do without it.

Goldfish and Ladybug - The lyrics make a nice a little poem, but just don't quite cut it as a song.

Twisted (Enchanted) - And no, its not because Lindsey's not on this one... the music is awful (yes I know its a demo) and the vocal is slowed way down from the Twister version. I skip it everytime.

Rhiannon (piano version) - The thing that I love most about Rhiannon is the guitar line - so of course if you replace that with a piano I'm not going to be happy.

Free Fallin (Enchanted) - As I've said previously, I have issues with cover songs in general and I'm not thrilled with what she's done with this one. I do actually enjoy her version of Zevon's "Reconsider Me" though.

Lindsey Jr. · #**254** 01-29-2005, 02:56 PM

But I like running through the garden!!!

Why ? The solo, man

eclipse · #**255** 01-30-2005, 03:54 AM

As others have stated -some of the remakes /covers (with her Older voice...)just wasn't a really bright idea. i.e.:

Free falling -hated it when Tom Petty whined through it too, but Stevie..what were you thinking?
Silent Night-lord, she sounds like a goat..niiiggggghhhhhhhht! dreadful
Running through the Garden-should have kept on running...

Honestly, Stevie is my inspiration,I sound like her when I sing ( a little) and I love singing along and listening to 95% of her music. Liked her better with Lindsey vocalizing along. Will always turn the volume way up for: Frozen Love,Crying in the night, Silver Springs (original) When I see you again, and recently their work on Say you will like, Say Goodbye and Smile at you.

What can I say, I love the Buckingham/Nicks sound and always will
