Favorite Stevie solo album

[MissLadyLoki]

Yes, I know people have done stuff with Stevie solo albums a gazillion times before and that you're gonna start bellyaching about this, but this time, it's my turn. Please note that I am using official studio albums (no live stuff like Soundstage or lost demo stuff like Mirror, Mirror), but here I go.

As for me closing the other thread, my mistake was that I kinda forgot to create a poll for it but I fixed that

EDIT: I hope none of you get offended by my typical goofy answers. It's all in good nature

I have to say Rock A Little for this one. It's not perfect, but the fact that it's such a beautiful hot mess makes it so enjoyable! I also think the lyrics are darker and the album is more versatile than Bella Donna and The Wild Heart.

'Favorite solo album? Really? To pick a favorite is like picking a favorite child' ♥ How true is this statement?

Really, you knew what my answer would be
I couldn't pick between TWH & TISL, anyway. Nuff said.

My fav Stevie album changes with my mood it seems. I'd have to say my overall fav will always be Bella Donna, but I'm definitely in a Rock A Little phase right now!

Agreed! The whole hot mess aspect of it makes it tremendous fun. That's why I also looooove watching the Red Rocks DVD... it's such a fabulous trainwreck meltdown.

Bella Donna will always be my favorite, with Rock a Little a close second.

Bella Donna. It was the first Vinyl album I ever bought of hers as it was the first album in general that I fell in love with.

[MissLadyLoki]

Gotta go with the album that, according to Nicksy herself in a twitchy interview from 1983, the album that's wilder than Bella Donna...Wild Heart!

Sometimes it rages Rock A Little.

I wished you made the poll public. I like to see who voted for what.

Got to go with WH on this one. Standback was the first , true, addicted-to-Stevie song of mine, even though i grew up listening to FM and Bella Donna with older siblings. It just seems she was less cautious and commercial than on BD, as that was her first solo record and needed it to be a hit. She was also a tad less schizo than on RaL (which i like quite a bit).
It just seems a great balance of muscular production wedded to her self-absorbed, flighty tendencies.

It will always be between Bella Donna and The Wild Heart for me. I gotta go with TWH though. Both are pretty flawless records with one dud song each (The Highwayman / Gate and Garden) but, TWH just edges it for me.

I didn't realize I had that option! This time, I was just making sure I got a poll up in the first place

Bella Donna, followed very closely by The Wild Heart.

Why Bella Donna? To me it a flat and dull version of Stevie, I was disappointed with it from the getgo. I think BD was poorly produced and contained some unfortunate song choices. But that's just me.
