I pick Fall From Grace. At first I didn't think too much about the song but once I heard it live it totally kicked my ass. I think it's a great live song and it shows that Stevie still rocks.

Neither for me. I think they're both overrated. I like them, just not as much as I like other songs. Slam away, but I'll take Running Through The Garden, Freedom, No Spoken Word, or I Can't Wait over those two rockers any day. No disrespect, JMHO.

Everybody.Finds.Out.

That song completely blew me out of the water the first time I heard it-- and is sexy as all get out.

Default which one?

I like both, but to pick one well EFO, just love that one part near the end with the drums. Funny thing is this was my LEAST fave song on SYW on the first listen, now it's in the top five, and I owe part of that to those on the Ledge who kept insisting it was a good song so I gave it a second shake. As for FFG I do really like it and I do think it is about the whole dance tour, but I think more Chris related (you said you wouldn't do this for very long, the applause was all so defining) although i can see a LB angle as well, but I think it has more to do with nothing being possible since he was going to become a father (not something that you plan), but then again with Stevies lyrics you never really know, h*ll I'd be surprised if even she could explain all her songs.

Although I love both songs, EFO totally knocked me out when I first heard it. It is just such an in-your-face kind of song. The way she sings it... full of attitude! FFG is also a powerful song for me, but EFO blows FFG out of the water. She just gets better!

It's like comparing an epic to an ode, or the Beatles to the Monkees. Although "Everybody Finds Out" has its' lyrical moments, I'd take the narrative expressiveness of "Fall From Grace" any day. FFG ROCKS, with NO "cheese filling"!

I agree that FFG has better lyrics.

Strangely enough because of an often overlooked tune called "Freedom", I believe "Fall From Grace" as a more Fleetwood Mac sound to it than "Everybody Finds Out", which, as good as it is, sounds more like a Stevie solo tune with the synthesisers and the percussion machine. Both have great lyrics but I prefer the agressive vocals on "Fall From Grace", so that wins for me.

Who's counting the votes anyway? Don't we have polls anymore?

I love both, although "Fall From Grace" benefits from being the only out-and-out rave-up on TISL.

And stuff like these two and "RTTG" are the only way for us to even get close to the original fiery intensity of the live "Rhiannons" and "SOTMs". You don't like them, fine. Have your middle of the road schmaltz any time of the day!


J/k. And if "EFO" really sounds like a Stevie solo tune then I'd like more of that stuff on her albums. Funky sex noises and faux-synth ('cos it's a guitar) build-ups. Like Marcello Carlin wrote in his SYW review, it has the helium highs of the Associates' "Club Country" all over it.
