naw..............she could have done a swift twist and got that effect w/ the skirt. all depends on what it's made out of.

Well everyones into different likes and things. I'm not much for wizards and zombies and dark gothic culture like some fans are but we all like different things, especially when it comes to all things Stevie, we're so varied and it's ok.

I think she's beautiful on RAL and looks so cool.

I'm thinking they went for the whole tiered witch dress effect, so I say wire or some kind of flared underskirting like Victorian Belles wear. But everyone has their opinion and no need to debate it. That is just what I think and always have.

'Rock A Little' is my favourite. I love that the outfit and pose captures the Stevie mysticism, but there's something more slick and contemporary than the previous two album covers. The graphic design and typography is a touch 1980s, but I like the subtle reference to the early Fleetwood Mac albums with the crystal ball and the positioning of that element of the cover in a bottom corner seems to reference the tamborine and flowers from 'Bella Donna' too.

Rock A Little is my fav.

The Wild Heart is my least fav....I swear I can see tape on the corners of the Stevies....putting them all together. Cheap and discolored.

I love all the album covers hard choice to choose one so I went with The Wild Heart just seem to fit her very Witchy Persona that says Stevie Nicks three images of her in a black cloak I remember she used to wear her cloak on stage on the rock a little tour and otherside of the mirror tour she did too. I think she should drag it out on the in your dreams tour. she used to have by here microphone she used to have a tamobrine stand with all different kinds of tamobrines on them.

For me, album artwork should reflect what is going on in the music - the overall sound and the story being told. Aside from TISL, none of Stevie's albums really do that. They're all just pretty pictures of her

sad but true...............

i still chose belladonna tho. i just love that cover.

I don't LOVE any of them, but I think she's most beautiful on Crystal Visions. I think TISL is quite interesting, but I think it would have been incredible if they'd done it with a blue/green palette? The only other one that does anything for me is The Wild Heart -- I like threes, too!

P.S. Sorry if this has been discussed before!

just found this is an interview
The record company was on the verge of a nervous breakdown as she demanded a last-minute substitution with the new sleeve, white on misty blue, which is “completely opposite” to the Rumours sleeve, stark black on white. On the back the three roses on the silver tambourine (three girl friends singing, three sides of the pyramid, she explains – she’d like to live in a pyramid if the Welsh cliffs are all taken – all very symbolic) and it means “coming in out of the darkness. A decision I had to make – a question whether or not I could do something alone without my comrades to hold me up. Because I’d been in a group so long that had been all in control.”

I picked The Wild Heart with BD really close or tied. I just think there both iconic photos of Stevie though for most of her solo LPs I pefer the outtakes than actually what was chosen. For BD I love the Blue Lamp photo session and still think its a crime those weren't used for the LP in some way--or at least for the acutual cover to Enchanted instead of the stupid feather. I haven't seen many outtakes for WH just a few. Like the outtakes to RAL/Mirror/SA/TISL. I don't know why so many people like TISL cover. Its Stevie's back. I love the outtakes with the flowers and she's facing the camera NOT her back side. Just not for me. To each his or her own. I think the 3 roses on BD meant her , Lori and Sharon. I think for the WH she was inspired by a Sulmeith W. photo but not sure which one. I just know I love that cover. I actually found a poster with the cover from Aust. I've not ever seen a US LP cover poster with the LP cover on it for WH. I thought its pretty rare really. I have it up now. Love it!!!! I really never knew one exsisted for it. Feel very lucky to have it too. As far as for the '3' necklace someone gave that to Stevie as a present for 3 Million sold for BD I recall reading that in an interview. Its ok to love what you love. Theres nothing wrong with that.

I have to disagree with you
I feel as though The Wild Heart cover sums up everything that is Stevie Nicks, at least to me.

Wasn't there a ledgie on here who had a friend paint him a full sized painting of this cover? Am I making stuff up? haha
