Between Timespace and the Enchanted box, another "Best Of" is just unnecessary.

And, since the box set, she's only released Trouble In Shangri-La.

I have to agree.

I was pretty skeptical and would remain so until I saw an official track listing and our girl doing press for the new record, so I'm not terribly surprised or disappointed.

Having said that, if the new "best of" CD is a retread of all her older material, what's the point of releasing it unless it's got some stuff that didn't make Enchanted or several Trouble in Shangri-la tracks? Or even some of her Say You Will work and a new song or three?

Let's face reality: Stevie Nicks is now what you'd describe as an oldies act and she will be unless she gets a fire lit under her fanny and records new albums at least once every 18 months or so. Even then, she'd have to get radio play or some intense MySpace promotion for the output to be anything more than just grasping for straws. Tom Petty got a lot of mileage out of MySpace for his Highway Companion CD and the song "Saving Grace."

If i recall correctly, Tina Turner released a new CD when she was 66 and Stevie is 58, so Stevie isn't throwing in the towel just because she's a little older and decided to take a break. She'll release an album sooner or later, just be patient...

Then again, it's not Tina who is talking about menopause and being an old lady

Oh please, Stevie is always like that...nothing ever changes.

I can't figure out why so many people equate a "best of" with becoming an oldies act. Aerosmith has tons of "best ofs." So does Blondie. REM has three, I believe. Tina Turner has three and a boxed-set. Springsteen has two and a boxed-set. Even Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers have two "best ofs" and a boxed-set.
It's just standard business.

Grow up, grandma- everything you've cited is a dinosaur "greatest-hits-money-grab" blah, blah, blah, blah....

Springsteen's last hurrah was in 1984.

REM's last hurrah was in 1990.

Tom Petty and Tina Turner haven't been in the limelight in a long time.

Blondie's last deal was 1979.

Oy.

Most of the people I listen to are all dead. At least these artists are all still alive.

I can't get all worked up either way about a Best Of. It does make me think, "What, she doesn't even want to release a lame 'greatest hits' package? How dull can she possibly be?" I don't think she'll ever release another album of new material. Like I've said before, I still enjoy her music from time to time, and Bella Donna will always be one of my favorite albums...but I think my fanboy energy is best expended elsewhere.

I DON'T equate a "best of" with becoming an oldies act. I'm looking at the fact that Stevie Nicks has released exactly two CDs of brand new mateiral since 1991. That year, she released Timespace. In 1994, she released Street Angel. Four years later, she released Enchanted. Three years later, she released Trouble in Shangri-la. The fact that she's so rarely released a full CD of brand new material makes her an oldies act, not the fact that she has greatest hits and a boxed set.

Aerosmith continued to release new material and somehow stay relevant. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers have released some new material. So has Tom Petty solo. Tina Turner has effectively retired from the music business to live in Europe. REM still records somewhat occasionally. Even Blondie has released a couple of new albums since they came back from their 16 year layoff from being a band.

It's time to face reality. If Stevie WEREN'T an oldies act, she'd have had at least one new song to offer on The Today Show. What does she give us? "Dreams" (yawn), "Landslide" (DOUBLE YAWN) and "Stand Back" (which lacked the sizzle it had in the past. In fact, that was exactly ONE solo song, and even that song is one Fleetwood Mac uses in its tours when she's with them!

If they would let me choose the tracklist... whether it be one disc or two.. I can make it interesting, and marketable to the casual fans, and obsessive fans (like us!

)...

This would be my single disc version. All trakcs would be remastered. And when I say "ALTERNATE MIX".. I mean the songs re- mixed just for this compilation, so we DONT get the same EXACT version of the songs we already have. And I didn't include a new Stevie song.. since I doubt Stevie would record a new one. If she would, "Mirror, Mirror" goes...

1. EDGE OF SEVENTEEN (UNEDITED)
2. STAND BACK (SINGLE EDIT)
3. STOP DRAGGIN' MY HEART AROUND
4. CRYING IN THE NIGHT (SINGLE VERSION) - Buckingham Nicks
5. LEATHER AND LACE (SINGLE EDIT)
6. ROOMS ON FIRE (ALTERNATE MIX)
7. HAS ANYONE EVER WRITTEN ANYTHING FOR YOU (LIVE - VH1 Storytellers)
