Does Stevie influence other music you buy? - Page 2

Not really. Most of my purchases consist of hard rock/ heavy metal.

Stevie will always be my #1 though.

Let's see... I was already into Tom Petty, the Eagles and Fleetwood Mac before becoming a Stevie fan. Still not that into Sheryl. I DID go out and buy a used copy of In Thru the Out Door (LZ) because all this talk made me realize I STILL didn't have any LZ on CD... so I took care of that just a little, for now. I'll never get into Bonnie Raitt. Can't think of any more right now. If anything, FM and all their incarnations have influenced my musical tastes more than Stevie has.

For your next LZ purchase, I highly recommend Physical Graffiti. Next to Stevie and FM, I own more LZ albums/cds than any other band.

Not really. I've always listen to many genres from many different artists and that remained the same. This year she definitely made me appreciate more The Eagles and Don Henley but not that much to buy their albums.

Definitely! That album, more than any other, defined by high school years. After that will be II, Houses of the Holy, I, IV and I'll be done.

Heard a little Emerson, Lake and Palmer on the radio today... there's another good band. Sigh... so much good old music.

I bought C'MON C'MON Sheryl Crow cus Stevie did back up on Diamond Road ended up liking it alright...I would have never listened to Warran Zevon if it weren't for Stevie ( I love his stuff) I pay more attention to the Beach Boys cus of Lindsey..hmmm I might buy Venessa new cd, she really impressed me at Blossom, and I want Stevie to see Venessa's album sales go up so she can be proud of us, silly I know but what can I say

I bought Shawn Colvins cd when she mentioned it on her on her website so yeah I would say Stevie influences my music purchases.

I have most of the other FM artists solo stuff - including the latest from Mick Fleetwood - which is brilliant, one of my faves...
For the most part, my choice goes from Stevie to Springsteen to Youssou N'Dour, Wasis Diop (a voice to die for) and my latest all-time bests: Zucchero and Freshlyground....

No, Stevie does not at all influence the kind of music I listen to. I really like a lot of hip hop as well as industrial/goth music and that is as far from Stevie as it gets. I will however listen to songs Stevie duets on with other artists but I could not see myself going out and buying their albums just because they have worked with her.

Amen...my bank account is already a victim.

And, not just with Fleetwood Mac...

...add Allman Bros Band, Eric Clapton, Beatles, Rolling Stones & Miles Davis to that, too. Along with the Grateful Dead, the whole Buffalo Springfield/Byrds family trees, as well.

Well, I'd have to say I buy music that I feel is similar to Stevie's. Full of passion and depth. But that's subjective of course

When reading Stevie's journal entries after 9/11 via the Nickfix (thank you, John!), I was especially intrigued about this entry:

Sept. 11, 2001
11:30 a.m.
We got into New York via private jet at 2 o’clock this morning, coming into New York from Toronto, Canada. I have been listening to Shawn Colvin’s song, Another Plane Went Down, from her new album, A Whole New You, all the way here while trying to compose a letter to Gladys Knight about Aaliyah, her niece; about my dream. Airports, planes everywhere, music, music, tears in my eyes, Sulamith (my yorkie) was upset all the way from Canada, psychic, dreamlike, flying, flying, flying.

Of course, I had to run out and buy the Shawn Colvin CD - which is incredible by the way, never mind that she's from Texas and that my friend Charlie Sexton played on it - and I was totally taken away by the song "Another Plane Went Down". And it has become one of my all time favorite songs.

So, yes, some of my music IS influenced by Stevie...I love to hear what inspires her as she has so heavily inspired me for all these many years...

LOL, I actually feel guilty when I listen to other music. Like I'm some kind of traitor or something. But I'm sure Stevie would want us to branch out and listen to others' work, right? Right?

Oh, no...not a "What Would Stevie Do?" comment...

...hello, world, the handbasket is now set for boarding.
