Bella Donna & Wild Heart= End of Story!

[tabruns]

Bella Donna
Excellent album although two tracks are somewhat "Dreams"-lite tracks: "Outside The Rain" and "How Still My Love".

The Wild Heart
The synths on this album are a bit heavy. Some tracks quite good "Stand Back" for example but others not so much "Gate and Garden", "Wild Heart"

Rock A Little
Sounds more updated to the sound at the time than previous albums. "Talk To Me" is great (and a big hit), "I Can't Wait" is SO 80s. Over-all a solid album but lacks the magic of Bella Donna I think

The Other Side of the Mirror
I really loved "Rooms On Fire" and the over-all magic, mystic feel of this album. I thought it was an improvement over Rock A Little and Wild Heart, but thought that "Two Kinds Of Love" and "Ooh My Love" might have made better singles than "Long Way To Go" and "Whole Lotta Trouble"

Street Angel
Okay album, probably Stevie's weakest one. Just lots of pedestrian songs on this, similar to Behind the Mask.

Trouble In Shangri-La
Definitely her best album since Bella Donna. Many top-notch songs here, including "Planets of the Universe", "Sorcerer" (tho I prefer the piano Marilyn whats-her-name version), "Trouble In Shangri-La", "Love Is", "I Miss You", "Bombay Sapphires", "Too Far From Texas"....only real dud was "It's Only Love"

In Your Dreams
So far it sounds like it will be an amazing album from all accounts. I like "Secret Love" alot, and I'm looking forward to hearing "Moonlight", "In Your Dreams", "Wide Sargasso Sea", and "Italian Summer".
