Stevie Nicks Playlist.

[Silver Springs]

I'm making an 18 track CD playlist for a friend of mine of Stevie songs, and at the moment I'm at a loss for the best ones to put on it. This is what I have so far.

1. Talk To Me
2. Stand Back
3. Rooms On Fire
4. Sorcerer
5. Highwayman
6. Leather And Lace
7. Touched By An Angel
8. Sara
9. Beauty And The Beast
10. Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You?
11. Edge Of Seventeen
12. After The Glitter Fades.
13.
14.
15.
16.
17.
18.

Anybody have any additions to this list or changes you'd make? Any help would be appreciated.

13. Battle Of The Dragon
14.Silver Springs
15.Gypsy
16.Wild Heart
17.Think About It
18.Landslide (Live from Soundstage)

These are 6 songs I can't live without!

[Artemis]

13) Rhiannon
14) Gold Dust Woman
15) Silver Springs
16) Gypsy
17) Wild Heart
18) Sable on Blond

I'd replace Touched by an Angel with Fall From Grace and The Highwayman with Nothing Ever Changes though.

Gah. 18 is so restrictive D:

[APerfectLie]

If You Ever Did Believe, Beautiful Child, Gypsy, I Miss You, Love Is Like A River, and Thrown Down.

[daniellaaarisen]

Agreed with APerfectLie and Artemis.

[MacShadowsBall]

Part of it depends on if you just want her solo stuff or a mix of both solo and FM material. Gypsy, Gold Dustwoman, Rhiannon, and Dreams are must haves for her FM material.

I know. Even though I'm so tired of it live, it has such energy. However, with my list, it came down to Think About It or Enchanted. Think About it won.

[Artemis]

I don't get the love for Enchanted. It's just always felt a bit... eh for me. I guess it's because it's right after the God-Awful Gate and Garden.

You could just give them the Stevie songs from the cocaine trilogy albums + Gypsy, and all of Bella Donna and The Wild Heart - if they don't like Stevie after that, they never will

Ehh I know I'm in the minority, but I always felt that there were a ton of duds on Wild Heart. Beauty and the Beast, Stand Back, If Anyone Falls, and Nothing Ever Changes are really the only songs on WH that I love. I could give or take the rest (yes this includes the title track). Don't shoot me!

Edit: I think Wild Heart could have been stronger if she included Violet and Blue, Sleeping Angel, and even the recorded version of Gold and Braid. I've never been a fan of Nightbird. I really do not think Stevie and Lori's voices coincide well on that track. I know there's personal significance behind the song (Robin), but I would have much preferred "City of Hope." I really cannot get through Gate and Garden or Sable on Blond at all.

The track Wild Heart certainly is very strong, but I just never thought it came together well. The dressing room demo, however, is perfection. Even if it is her just singing three or four lines...That demo in itself is so powerful.

I'm sure i'll get torn apart for these comments, but I have always felt this way. I always wondered why more of the Wild Heart album never made it on the tour. Its not like the album flopped at all. Stand Back was huge and by November of 83', If Anyone Falls was everywhere. I know she tried out Enchanted for a night or two, but that really didn't go anywhere. I can't believe she never did "Nothing Ever Changes" on stage in the 80s. That would be been absolutely wild. She could have easily cut Sara, Leather and Lace, and I Need to Know from the set list and no one would have cried. Even though the Wild Heart versions of Sara are great, she had played it solo and with the Mac for multiple tours.

Even for Rock a Little she did 4 new songs, and for OSOTM did 5 (rehearsed 7, but only 5 made it to opening night). Hell even the Street Angel Tour had 4 new songs and she had serious problems with the album. Maybe because her solo thing was just beginning to take off in 83' and her audiences hadn't seen her show, 3 songs from the WH album on tour wasn't enough.
