The Three Ballads Poll
What is your favorite of Stevie's self-described "three ballads"?
For discussion purposes, wouldn't "Goodbye Baby" and "When I See You Again" also qualify as ballads? ... If so, I guess she means solo ballads. If you counted those, I think "Goodbye Baby" would be my favorite.

Beauty and the Beast for me, that song is haunting. It just has everything, her voice is on top form for that song too.
I've never really been a huge fan of HAEWAFY, I just don't really like it all that much. Love Is, I didn't like it at first, but it's really growing on me lately, I love the background vocals especially in that song, but for me, it doesn't have the power and emotion of BATB.

i think she's talking about the 3 great love's of her life. BATB was for Mick, Has anyone ever written anything for you was about Joe Walsh and I wonder who Love Is was written for?

Although, if we're talking about all her ballads, wouldn't you have to include Storms and Beautiful Child along with Goodbye Baby and When I See You Again? >_>
If so, Beautiful Child would totally get my vote. It always makes me tear up, dammit.

If I had to pick one of these, I'd have to go with "Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You."
If it were one of her rockers, it'd be a much easier choice for me.

I'm don't remember her ever talking about Love Is in any magazine or interview. Does anyone? Maybe some of the east coast media outlets will/SHOULD ask her about it when they do press for the upcoming shows. Oh..of these 3, i have to go with Love Is. BATB and HAEWAFY are wonderful songs, but this one just always tugged at my heartstrings a little more.

If we were including all of her ballads, Storms would get the vote from me. But since we're going solo, Beauty and the Beast.
HAEWAFY doesn't really do it for me, and I'm not really fond of the final product of Love Is, though maybe I'll change my mind when I listen to the live version.

Nice to see someone mention The Highwayman! I love that track and always think it never gets its due as a pretty great Stevie song.

No competition. "Love Is" live was simply the best moment of my Stevie Nicks lifetime.

It's so funny, because if you asked this question 2 weeks ago, the winner would be BATB, I am sure!

Technically speaking, in the strict definition of the word ballad in English literature, none of those songs are really ballads. The closest Stevie has ever really come to writing an actual ballad is "The Highwayman."
