I think all the albums were closed perfectly, I wouldn't change any of them. Well, maybe I would have tweaked HAEWAFY a little. But Stevie does a good job of sequencing, and she knows it too because she has mentioned it in interviews.

I went with "Edge of Seventeen" because I'd rather hear Stevie close out with a rocker.

It was a tie between "Beauty and the Beast" and "Love Is", but I chose "Beauty and the Beast" its such a beautiful song and SOOOO intense!!

I like most of Jane, actually. And I'm no tweaker, LOL. I love the part of the song where she sings "There are angels here on Earth, sent from God..." She sings it pretty earnestly, IMO.

I'll say 'Love Is', and it has nothing to do with the fact that she sang it recently. When I first heard the song, it really said something to me. I like HAEWAFY and Beauty and the Beast, as well.

I forgot about 'I Still Miss Someone'. LOL, when I think of Stevie's solo album I don't usually include OSOTM (sorry)
but I guess that song was as good as any to end that album. But the other albums all featured songs which I think closed them beautifully.

Batb
I picked Beauty & the Beast.....I don't mind it live but I actually like the LP version much better. The airy ,breathy quality about the song. (kinda like how much I love the way she sings on Tusk esp Sara, Storms etc. She had that airy quality that I so miss in her voice now.).....I do love The Highway Man as well but I do like the outtakes a little bit more. With Love Is I still think the demo is better its not so polished yet. I do like Has Anyone but I do think its missing something though can't put my finger on it.....I also love Desert Angel. That song always really got to me back in '91.....it'll have a special place in my heart always......just some thoughts.....
  Sorry my heading was suppose to be B&TB at the top for posting but I mispelled it....oops!!! LOLOf the live versions of B&TB I still think I like the WH live versions the best........

This is a re-post from the ballads thread...
To me, BATB is the most beautiful ballad of all time not to mention Stevie's top. Although Love Is is certainly another top for her and has gained some momentum with the fact that she's doing it live now nothing can possibly compare to the epic that is and will always be BATB. Also, we've had BATB for 17 years and who can forget those timeless WH performances of it and all the others over the years? The song still moves me like no other and brings me to tears after all these years and is both lyrically and musically the definition of music at it's highest level of greatness that could ever possibly exist!
Edit: Oh I forgot to mention HAEWAFY: Also a timeless classic with a moving story behind it and unbelievable live but just doesn't encompass the same power that BATB does but it is a truly magical song not to mention it was inspired by the love of her life... And of course Storms deserves to be here without an argument.

alas..
he was the highwayman...
I've always loved this song and how it ends Bella Donna - to me, it's Stevie at her heartbreaking storytelling best... the imagery, the allusiveness, the wandering.. the dragonfly. Yet, you totally understand and feel her sadness. Beautiful ending... the end of the dream. honorable mention to Beauty and the Beast..
