Which of Stevie's albums is your favourite? - Discuss.

Bella Donna, Wild Heart and In Your Dreams are tied in my mind... I'm AMAZED at how well In Your Dreams is doing. This album is so incredible.

Yep...same here. Even my former favorites always had one (or two) "turkeys" that I would ALWAYS skip, or when making a CD-R, swap out with a superior single b-side or something. In Your Dreams is the first Stevie Nicks album that I've considered as one complete musical statement...unless a gun is at my head (figuratively, not literally), I really don't consider the songs on an individual basis.

1) In Your Dreams
2) Trouble In Shangri-La (even still at #2 after swapping out the "wall of sound" "Thrown Down" & "Touched By An Angel" in place of "Too Far From Texas")
3) Bella Donna (a few tunes that at one time I really liked haven't fared so well over the 30 years)
4) Rock A Little (had she ONLY released "I Can't Wait" and all of Side 2 as an EP, it would be battling for the #1 slot, but too bad there are two sides to an LP)


5) Wild Heart (the more I listen to this one, the fewer songs I enjoy...LOVED it in '83, not so much in '11)

I agree with you Louie 100% on I got into Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks since I was 9yrs old back in 1979 my first album to get was Tusk my parents belonged to the Columbia House Record club and I told them I wanted the Tusk Album By FM and they got it for me been hooked since and Rock A Little Tour is the first tour seeing Stevie Live and I though she was awesome to see live been still seeing her live since. 1986 solo and with the Mac. Rock A Little is still my favorite that is a must have in my collection probably will be buried with my rock a little album if I had to be buried with one I would pick rock a little hands down. If I were to recommend an album of Stevie's to friends who are not aware of her music I would give them rock a little.

If you're talking critical acclaim "In Your Dreams" and "Trouble In Shangri-La" probably tie for best Nicks album. "In Your Dreams" has gotten the bigger raves but also a few pans while "Trouble In Shangri-La" didn't really get panned at all.

For me personally "In Your Dreams" is both my favorite and also IMO Stevie's best album:

1. In Your Dreams---5 stars
2. Trouble In Shangri-La---5 stars
3. Bella Donna---5 stars
4. The Other Side of the Mirror---4 1/2 stars
5. Rock A Little---3 1/2 stars
6. The Wild Heart---3 stars
7. Street Angel---2 1/2 stars

TISL, baby, TISL. That's probably the one I reach for most because I have really good memories attached to that album.

Wild Heart is basically tied for 1st and Bella Donna just behind.

I love IYD, but it's a little new for me to love it so much.
