But, if i did have to choose - I would go The Nightmare

(I know, I know - but think of that tune)

Matt (oops Meowi

)

Street freakin Angel IS good

Im going to have to say the Nightmare too...coz i love it
and i know everyone bitches about it coz of the "collaborative" effort

runner up would have to be Docklands

it's bad. but i like it

I'm not even ashamed to say I like most of the Street Angel album! I love it's straightforward back to basics rock and roll style... just what she needed to do after the impossibly airy fairy Other Side Of The Mirror. Most everybody around here seems to hate Love Is Like A River... which is one of my all time favs. Such an angry rocking powerhouse of a song! Love, love, love it!!!

I totally, totally, totally agree!!!!

Except I would go even further and say that The Other Side Of The Mirror was trying hard to be "airy fairy", but didn't even quite make that!

Not that these are guilty pleasures for me personally, I love these songs and would defend them to the death (and often do!):

When I See You Again

Welcome To The Room... Sara

Jane

BUT... as for When I See You Again, it has to be the outtake version where Stevie sings all the lead vocals and it has all the extra "whatsamaddahbabies". I cannot stomach the version on the album where Lindsey sings at the end. I love Lindsey to death, I really, really do (I have all his albums and have seen all his tours, I even saw him on the OOTC tour), but he always has to mark his territory and put his "vocal stink" on everything like a male cat in a forest. His vocals are always on Stevie's and Chris' songs (except maybe one... Songbird?), yet their vocals are not always on his.

i bow down to your great insight

I like Mirror because of it's airy fairy-ness
it's Stevie being a Barbie princess and living in her fairytale land
it is a nice escapism and i probably like it because it's not rock and roll
it's just different

Street Angel on the other hand ... could have been a killer piece of work

what's not to love about... You can't say no in the middle of the night

i think you're uptight lady. outta sight outta sight baby

it needs to be played LOUD

hippilil86 · #24 12-07-2009, 08:31 PM

Ahhhh....

Sometimes it's a bitch.

I listen to it over and over.

don't know if I'd call these guilty pleasures but...
I know a lot of people who don't particularly like some of these songs.
and I freaking love them.

Sister Honey
Long Way to Go
Kick It
Maybe Love
No Questions Asked

Anything too 80s is considered a guilty pleasure for me-- all of Rock a Little and The Other Side of the Mirror. I agree with "The Nightmare," and also "Long Way To Go."

This made me laugh, although on that song she said he didn't even want to do it and she is the one who took her vocal off and left his on. She said he would have been too shy to close the song on his own. Stevie said it was her that would grab him and have him sing on Christine's songs a lot of the time too.

I don't know that he's all that shy, but When I See You Again doesn't seem to be the type of song he'd be into anyway. I bet he would have been glad not to sing on it. Angel is a different story. You could see from the clips that he was excited about that and wanted to sing on it, asking for the lyrics that Stevie hadn't even planned on giving him. Michele

Yeah, RAL and OSOTM are so guilty pleasure it's ridiculous. But I have a thing for over the top 80's music so it's all good!

I think my faves would have to be I Can't Wait, (this has to be considered guilty pleasure, right??), If I Were You, Ooh My Love, Welcome to the Room.. Sara.
