Wild Heart - Mike was right though, a lot of it doesn't fit. But, Wild Heart, Gate & Garden, Sable On Blonde, Enchanted, Beauty And The Beast, If Anyone Falls are among her very best works. Stand Back is overrated.
The Other Side Of The Mirror - I think the style, sound and feel of this album was a natural evolution for Stevie. Alice, Rooms On Fire, Ooh My Love. Bella Donna - I love so much of this. Bella Donna, Outside The Rain, How Still My Love. Rock A Little - this is a grea

1. Bella Donna - It's perfect. Period.
2. Rock a Little - This was the first Stevie album I bought. I agree it's an album I have to be in the right mood for. But when I'm in this mood it's great  . Also it contains Rock a Little what is my favourite Stevie song at the moment. And I absolutely don't care that it's not aged well, to me it sounds amazing. 3. The other Side of the Mirror - This has really grown on me recently. It has some songs I still can't get into (Fire Burning, Cry Wolf, Whole Lotta Love) but as a whole album I play it even more often than RAL. 4. The Wild Heart - This used to be #3 but actually I've always thought the album was kinda weird. I like most of the songs (especially If anyone falls, The Wild Heart and Stand Back) but the songs don't really fit together. I haven't played the whole album in ages. 5. Street Angel - I never really listened to it. Perhaps my opinion about it would change if I did...I only really like 3 songs, Street Angel, Rose Garden and Greta. 6. Trouble in Shangri-La - This album sounds so terrible modern. I can't find the Stevie I love in it. There's no song I really love and way too much Sheryl Crow. I don't have anything against this woman but when I buy a Stevie album I'd like to have Stevie on there and not Sheryl.

1. The Wild Heart - I disagree about it sounding patchy or disjointed. This has always been my favourite Stevie album; I especially love 'Wild Heart', 'Nightbird', 'Beauty and the Beast,' and 'Sable on Blond'.
2. Bella Donna - 2 or 3 songs I'm not crazy about here, but on the whole, I think it's a really strong album. My favourites are 'Outside the Rain', 'How Still my Love' and 'Edge of Seventeen.' 3. Rock a Little - Ok, I do understand the criticism that this album recieves, but it just works for me. I love Stevie's vocals on this album and there's something really campy and fun here that I just adore. Favourites: 'The Nightmare', 'Rock a Little', 'No Spoken Word', and 'If I Were You'. 4. The Other Side of the Mirror - I've only recently got into this one. I think that this is her most patchy album, but I love most of the songs, especially 'Doing the Best I Can', 'Rooms on Fire', 'Long Way to Go,' and 'Ooh My Love'. 5. Trouble in Shangri-La - This one's hit and miss for me; I really like about half the songs, and dislike the other half. IMO, the production weakens some of the songs, rather than strengthens them. My favourites are: 'Trouble in Shangri-La', 'Fall From Grace' and 'It's Only Love'. 6. Street Angel - I do like Street Angel, just not nearly as much as the others. I think it's lyrically weaker than her other efforts (which is understandable). I still love: 'Gretta', 'Street Angel' and 'Rose Garden'.

Has anyone else noticed the similarity between Kate Bush's song 'Lily' to Stevie's 'Rock A Little (Go Ahead Lily)? I wonder if it was the inspiration for Kate's song......
 I can't say I've ever paid close attention to the lyrics of Kate's version though so I don't know if it is similar in that respect or not. Music wise though it sounds very similar, but maybe it's just me.

The first 2 on my list probably go back & forth some.....
1/Wild Heart--again I go between BD/WH cause they almost overlap really don't like I Will Run To You....All The Beautiful Worlds would've been awesome!!...other than that I love this period as well as her voice too!!!  2/Bella Donna--this one and WH are awesome times....just wish that Blue Lamp had been on it.....either way I love this period and her voice.... 3/Other Side Of The Mirror--I'll always love Mirror cause well its when I started collecting Stevie stuff...so it'll always have that special place in my heart...Long Way To Go rocks...as does Ghosts and Doing The Best That I Can...Room's On Fire....etc 4/Rock A Little--too disjointed of an lp....too many Producers.....songs that were left off would've been better on this lp than what was picked to me....(or MM would've been cooler)? 5/ Trouble In Shangra-La--its ok but like others have stated too much Sheryl Crow for my taste...she's ok I do have some of her solo stuff but I do think it should be more Stevie than an Sheryl cd.... 6/ Street Angel....loved the tour though...it was my first Stevie solo tour!!Some songs are good like I love Blue Denim....SA.....I do think the original Listen To The Rain from '91 was better than the SA version...don't like lyric changes at all....can live without some songs as well.....(Jane/Just Like A Woman.....)
