Your favorite stevie ''hidden Gem'' album track

[mike_nh]

Ive only picked 3 songs that some fans might have forgotten about.

Straight back

When i see you again

The second time

[Artemis]

I think When I See You Again is one of Stevie's songs I WANT to forget about. Painful to listen to.

Anyhoo, Straight Back is a wonderful song. Really wish she would perform it live.

Out of those 3 - Straight Back, but I'd go for That's Alright...

[SapphireSister]

So funny, I don't fancy any of these songs so I didn't vote. ^^Add That's Alright and you have a clear winner.

I love the sound of Straight Back but I love the emotion of When I See You Again (plus Lindsey). OMG HOW DO I CHOOSE.

ETA: Just re-listened to them. I stand by the above, but When I See You Again made me cry (again), so. . . what am I to do?

Picked Straight Back because the other two are forgettable, and Straight Back rules. But, like others said, That's Alright is even better. It has possibly become my favorite on Mirage, beautiful lyrics.

TOTALLY agree!!!!! One of the greatest hidden gems EVER, right up there with "Ricky!!"

The vocal on WISYA is just..... not my favorite.

I love 'Straight Back'!! It's always been a favorite of mine. WISYA is okay, but Lindsey's vocal at the end saves it!! 'The Second Time' is one of Stevie's weakest songs, IMO.

Voted 4 Straight Back. When Mirage was 1st released-this was the Stevie song I loved the most, But it has fallen to 3rd place of her Mirage songs all these years later.

I agree with most, "That Alright" is the true hidden gem. Great song (which contains a Stevie songwriting rarity-a Key change at the bridge before the chorus), Great Lyrics & Top Notch Vocal & Harmony.

Her vocal delivery is not very appealing. And the lyrics -- trying to capture the landside vibe-- are awkward and strained. Even though its trying to be, it's just not an accessible song. It will never make my best of list, but it holds a place in Stevie's cannon of songs as being very unusual....BABY!

The only part of the song that is palatable is the ending portion, with Lindsey singing solo.

I think Freedom should have been added to the list. It is my favorite song on Behind The Mask. Straight Back is one of my all time favorites tho. I must say I do love WISYA and The Second Time. They aren't my favorite songs of hers, but when I do randomly listen to them they still brighten my day. Call me strange.

Agreed. Freedom is an all-time fav... I love the anger and passion!

Agreed. Straight Back is another all-time fav! I love the spooky, mystical air about it... it's no Sisters Of The Moon or Gold Dust Woman, but it's not far off!

Agreed! I've always found beauty in WISYA and The Second Time because they're true works of art IMO. Both songs are kinda about hitting the bottom of all bottoms... and you can hear the pain, heartbreak, and total despair in her vocals and lyrics.

The lyrics to Freedom are certaintly angry and passionate but the vocal is lifeless and lacks anything remotely close to anger, passion or inspiration. I've always hated the way she sang that song, from the very first time I heard it. In my opinion, that poor vocal performance ruined what could have been a shining Nicks moment.
