You've named some of my favorite songs here! Also, unrelated to your post, I don't get the "Reconsider Me" hatred. I think that's one of the most fantastic covers ever (not to mention a great interpretation of Warren Zevon's song)!

I love The Highwayman and Fall From Grace! I never get why people aren't keen on The Highwayman. Oh well, takes all kinds I suppose. Same goes for Too Far From Texas. Ok, I actually get why people may not like it, but I do.

"Reconsider Me" is a fantastic song, and Stevie really delivers on the vocals. That aside, I too find it hard to comprehend any Stevie fan including: Angel, Thats Alright, Nightbird, Wild Heart, & Beauty And The Beast on any Top 10 least favorite Stevie song list. Now, Unconditional Love, Jane & Silver Girl, I can understand more. But it sure seems like some here are just bored and blatantly including songs for shock value. IDK, these lists are soooo tiresome already, and people are certainly entitled to express their displeasure. But this just proves Stevie can never live up to everyones taste/expectations no matter how good the album/songs or musical arrangements and production are.

My choices; not quite 10 but close enough:

Two Kinds Of Love
Whole Lotta Trouble
I Still Miss Someone
Cry Wolf
Doing The Best That I Can
Desert Angel
Unconditional Love
Somebody Stand By Me
God's Garden

Some of the choices in this thread are blowing my mind.

That's cool though, my choices might rankle somebody.

For BtM, I dislike the production so much that I've only listened to it twice. Not gonna count those. Same goes for OsotM, and I don't have Street Angel yet.

Anyway, my picks are:

When I See You Again (sumpin's thamatta here)
Goodbye Baby (sounded good in the Destiny Rules doc, what happened?)
The Nightmare (it's like she's rambling over awful synth)

I might not love some of the others, but they don't bother me so much that I can't listen to em on occasion, unlike the ones I listed.

Was just wondering when/why she re-recorded the Goodbye Baby vocals heard on album version. Why did she put on her "baby" voice for the final version?

well... for me i actually like the vocal? it's a quiet whisper of a song (unless it's live) and her belting out the vocal wouldn't have worked..at least not for me. One of the reasons I'm not too fond of Love Is ..is because she's belting out the vocal... really don't dig it when she's all but screaming ..corner of her MOUUUTH!!! back in the day she sang her ballads with a softer voice and saved the belting for rock songs! but that's just me??

No sorry needed, I actually like the album version too

[Fiver]

^ the vocal's not the main problem for me just.. something seems off with the tempo on the album version.

Except for "Rooms On Fire", the entire TOSOTM album
Except for "I Can't Wait", the entire Side 1 of Rock A Little
The Second Time
Welcome To The Room...Sara
Running Through The Garden
Silver Girl
Jane
Kick It
Destiny
After The Glitter Fades
The Wild Heart
Nothing Ever Changes
I Will Run To You

[Hawkeye]

After the Glitter Fades
If I Were You
Two Kinds of Love
Fire Burning
I Still Miss Someone
The Second Time
Affairs of the Heart
Unconditional Love
Planets of the Universe (TISL version only LOVE the Rumours bonus one)

And I can see the stray 1 or 2 people listing songs like Wild Heart, Nothing Ever Changes and Fall From Grace, but they have popped up on way too many lists and I'm questioning the sanity of the ledge

* Asterix there obviously for not truly being able to judge the song, but like Stevie I try to trust my strong premenitions ... and I wanted to piss Jondalar off by including it already

[ahafan02]

Dang so many of my favorites in several lists like "The Nightmare" which I've always loved as well as "Imperial Hotel"..


Here's my least fav:
When I See You Again
Welcome to the Room...Sara
The Second Time
Freedom
Too Far From Texas
It's Only Love
Sable on Blonde
I Will Run To You
Two Kinds of Love
Long Way To Go
Fire Burning
Cry Wolf
Just Like A Woman
Love's A Hard Game to Play
Violet & Blue

I'm shocked at how many people have listed After The Glitter Fades.

I see a lot of standards, though, like Unconditional Love, Two Kinds of Love, etc.....

For me, my list was not 'songs I don't like' but rather songs that are my 'least favorite' as the poll asked for. All of Stevie's work is my 'favorite' and I don't truly dislike any of her songs...though there are a few that I would not care about listening to often.

Oh that's ridiculous. It's one of her best songs ever.

I know, right?

My best friend for years did not like Silver Springs because she thought it 'sounded country'.
