It's also one of the most blatently honest songs ever written. It's better than That's Alright, but that's a great song too.

Some people's idea of "country" is way off. I had a friend once who, I swear, thought anything with an acoustic instrument anywhere in the song, was "country."

I consider anything with a steel guitar to be country. After The Glitter Fades is definitely country, as is That's Alright. I think Leather & Lace and The Highway Man even border on country.

If Stevie or Fleetwood Mac albums were getting released as of todays country music,Stevie or FM would slip right in there with Lady Antebellum,Kieth Urban,Sugarland and Zac Brown Band. Todays country sounds more like light rock then grannies back in the 50' to the 80's. which I do like better then todays.

Those are DEF. country. I always thought that too. Wasn't there a rumor a while back that Stevie would like to record a country cd ?

Sara (Rancid vocal, makes my ears bleed)
Edge of Seventeen (Damn kids these days and their rock and roll, too noisy, guitar solo makes my ears bleed)
Sable On Blond (Mick Fleetwood is a terrible drummer)
Landslide (Too sad, songs should make you dance)
Stand Back (I don't like dance songs)
Silver Springs (Dance version) (I hate it when Stevie gets all passionate about relationships and ****. I liked her better when she was bloated and sedated.)
Beautiful Child (More crappy goat-like vocals. I didn't understand the meaning of the lyrics 100% when I first heard it, and I hate everything I don't completely understand the first time.)
Secret Love (Yeah, like you're really gonna get away with writing songs I have to think about forever, Stevie!)
I Can't Wait (Can't you sing some nice quiet songs like Judy Garland? I told you before this satanic rock crap is making my bedpan vibrate when you kids play it late in the afternoon! Arggghhhh!!!)

I am NOT trying to piss anyone off but.......is this a joke ??? Come on its gotta be !!

[Dark Angel]

In no particular order...

Docklands
Listen To The Rain
Jane
Love Is Like A River
Two Kinds Of Love
Cry Wolf
Fire Burning
That Made Me Stronger
Welcome To The Room...Sara
Desert Angel

[PenguinHead]

I've come to like/love all of her songs - even her clunkers. The only songs that comes to mind are "When I See You Again" and "The Second Time." Both painfully strive to be Landslide-like ballards, but miss the mark in so many ways!

*Anything* with a steel guitar?

ATGF, Leather & Lace, and The Highwayman are all at least country-ish, I agree. That's Alright is pushing it, tho. Is that really your objection to That's Alright?

Anyway, I like country. Not contemporary, tho.

[bluefox4000]

ATGF is too country for me to enjoy. I do enjoy the Highwayman.....it is close to country but I still Enjoy it. That's Alright I cannot stand.

I have to admit, I really do not get this visceral reaction people have to country.

Same here. Dismissing a whole genre is crazy to me. I think Stevie does it really well too.

But I love country(classic stuff mostly), so I'm a little biased.

[Dodfather]

I'm a country/bluegrass/alt-country fan and am happy with most of it but, like any genre, there was a period that I couldn't stand a lot of what was produced. When people like Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, Travis Tritt etc appeared. Now there's Toby Keith - arggh! That's really not for me. I prefer people from that time who have evolved, like Rosanne Cash.

^ I agree, those guys are just posers, IMO. They gave country a bad image, and now some folks think country music means wearing a cowboy hat and boots and singing with a twang.
