I think it may also be the most ad-libbed song she has. Even though she adds a new line to the end of EO17 every tour, OTR always gets something new.

Basing my answers on your original question (some peeps are getting confused I think or don't remember which songs were singles and "non-singles".

It is way to hard to put them in order so, these are my top 5 album tracks (non-singles) from Stevie:

Long Way To Go - ... Even though this was played on the radio (and charted at #11 on the AOR chart) it was never commercially released (in the US anyway) as a commercial single so, this should qualify.

I remember this received a lot of air play here in DC. I was in my late teens and working at a movie theatre and not a lot of those kids liked Stevie BUT, they liked this song. I remember some them of even singing it at the theatre and they would say to me "ok Trav, this one is ok I guess" LOL, they loved it.

Ooh My Love - one of Stevie's sexiest songs

Nothing Ever Changes - Love love love Stevie's vocals on this, her voice soars

Think About It - Great music, great lyrics, I love all versions I have heard

Sister Honey - One of Stevie's funkiest songs ever, and most fun. An awesome blend of dance, pop and rock.

Fun! I want to play. The five I chose are based on the rules, to the best of my ability of following rules, but also are songs I would just love, love to hear her perform live:
1. Wild Heart
2. Imperial Hotel - I always have loved it, the high notes, the vibrato, how much she fits into 2 minutes and 53 seconds! To my knowledge, it wasn't a US promo single, though if whoever wrote that it was a promo single in the US knows that to be true, I don't dispute it.
3. Nothing Ever Changes (has that 'chill factor' in her vocals that also comes in the last minutes of 'Wild Heart' and really, all throughout 'Imperial Hotel').
4. LISTEN TO THE RAIN - Sorry for the all caps, but this song was really on the right track, it maybe didn't quite live up to its potential, I hear there's an even better version that originally was going to be a 'Timespace' single, but it got delayed and a re-recorded version went onto 'Street Angel'.
5. Long Way To Go (got some airplay in The States, as did 'Imperial Hotel' and 'Nothing Ever Changes' but never got a US release. I know it did get a UK release, I have it on vinyl (very kewl gatefold 12") but as it was never a US single, I hope I can include it. If I can't, then I will make 'Candlebright' my fifth choice.
... For the 2 or 3 of you who mentioned liking 'That Made Me Stronger' and wondered why it isn't popular amongst some of us, first, I'm glad you like it. I kind of enjoy the musical track, but I hate the song and the reason why is that the lyrics (in my opinion) belong in a journal, not on a release geared towards mass-consumption. ' "Can you write this for me, No, y0u write your songs yourself'...it's just a silly and self-indulgent ode to Stevie, by Stevie. Anyone trying to sing along to the chorus would sound like an idiot, and the song isn't of acceptable quality, lyrically, on an otherwise well-written cd. To me, 'That Made Me Stronger' is worse than filler. The only way I could get through it was to sing an alternate lyric 'Can you write this for me, he says, No, you go f**k yourself!"-- and then I'd laugh. Now, I just skip it when I play TISL. I also dislike the rhyme of 'remember' with 'September' in the song, oy. It's just a silly song.
And not in a good way, like 'Sister Honey', which is very silly, very ridonkulous, but I'd still love to hear her perform it ("and she goes faaast! like a jetplane") -- I think she'd probably wind up with a severe case of the giggles but I still think it'd be great

** to those of you who like 'That Made Me Stronger', I'm not trying to change your minds, and wouldn't try to change anybody's mind about a song they enjoy, and know that I couldn't. Go on enjoying it, as you should!
