I think the writing and her voice put it way up there. I do not like the guitar work that much though.

As for KING - hey, even Mick wore a wedding dress once

To me, the two clunkers are Still of the Night and Kind of Woman - but to each their own!

Exactly - I don't think any one person can decide what is the best track on any album - its all personal opinion...

As for "How Still My Love" - that song really comes into its own in concert. Have you heard any of the '86 versions of it? *drool*

Still of the Night is a bit of a clunker, but How Still My Love kicks ass!

Actually, I think Think About It is the closest thing to a stinker on Bella Donna. Then again, I never really liked Stevie's "happy" songs.

Wow, I went through this whole thread, and I'm pretty sure I didn't see:

Graceland - whenever these "best album" things come up, I think of this one first. It's fricking phenomenal.
All Simon and Garf albums
Possibly all Simon solo albums, don't know for sure, but would be willing to bet on it.
