1. Silver Girl
2. Goodbye Baby
3. Too Far From Texas (was she holding her nostrils shut through the entire recording?)
4. Whole Lotta Trouble (sorry, I know a lot of people like this song-but she sounds like a tortured, bleating goat on this one, and the music sounds like wanna be fabulous thunderbirds or cheesy ZZ Top type of blues, which doesn't suit Stevie at all.)
5. Booty and The Beast
6. Fire Burning
7. Cry Wolf
8. Just Like a Woman
9. Crash
10. Affairs Of The Heart

In no particular order:

Reconsider Me
Two Kinds of Love
I Can't Wait ( I REALLY hate this one - the video is fun to watch, but the song...Yeeesh!)
Silver Girl
Street Angel
Wild Heart
Too Far From Texas
Everyday
Rock A Little
Somebody Stand By Me


There's 10. May be a couple more, but that's most of mine.

Her Fleetwood Mac output:

"Welcome to the Room, Sara" (the demo makes this passable....the final song, ish!)
"When I See You Again" (might have been okay if sung better)
all the Behind the Mask songs. I just thought they were all pretty pedestrian by previous standards.

I think she's gotten back to her old standards since then, slowly improving from "Twisted" onward.

Her solo output:

Frankly I think Stevie has had songs on her solo albums that Mac never would have recorded, on pretty much every album with the possible exceptions of the Bella Donna and Trouble In Shangri-La. For me, these are the worst:

"Outside the Rain" and "How Still My Love" from Bella Donna are not bad songs at all, but they do seem like "Dreams"-lite.
"Wild Heart" from Wild Heart. A more disjointed, rambling version of the excellent song "Bella Donna".
"Gate and Garden" from Wild Heart. Catchy chorus, but otherwise meandering, and weird lyrics.
"Sister Honey" from Rock A Little. Way too 80s synthy.
"The Nightmare" from Rock A Little. Strange lyrics married to pedestrian music never works.
"I Still Miss Someone" from The Other Side of the Mirror. Doesn't fit on what was otherwise a dark, atmospheric album. "Fire Burning" and "Cry Wolf" don't fit for the same reasons, but I don't necessarily dislike those songs. She should have just embraced the dark, made The Other Side of the Mirror her version of the "Black Album" and been done with it.
"Greta", "Docklands", "Just Like A Woman" and "Jane" from Street Angel. By far her worst album.
"It's Only Love" from Trouble In Shangri-La. The only song I skip on the entire album.

Yeah, it should have been moved right out of the set.

I also forgot to mention my last 3 tracks I loathe. Here's 2 more:
8. Love Changes
9. Everyday

Landslide (Too sad, songs should make you dance)
Stand Back (I don't like dance songs)
Silver Springs (Dance version) (I hate it when Stevie gets all passionate about relationships and ****. I liked her better when she was bloated and sedated.)
Beautiful Child (More crappy goat-like vocals. I didn't understand the meaning of the lyrics 100% when I first heard it, and I hate everything I don't completely understand the first time.)
Secret Love (Yeah, like you're really gonna get away with writing songs I have to think about forever, Stevie!)
I Can't Wait (Can't you sing some nice quiet songs like Judy Garland? I told you before this satanic rock crap is making my bedpan vibrate when you kids play it late in the afternoon! Arggghhhh!!!)
Best list haha
The only songs I dont like
Just Like a Woman, Desert Angel and Illume (because of the weird production)
Everything else I like/love to varying degrees

Well, Straight Back is kinda SOTM wannabe, and deep down I can understand why FFG gives you a headache, but RHIANNON??? I think I will never be able to fully recover from the shock.

What??? I love Angel, That's Alright, Nightbird and Wild Heart. I have just remembered your distatse for country and The Wild Heart album though.. oh well.

I have to agree on Beauty and The Beast and Unconditional Love though (see my list). Beauty and ther Beast moves between being quite nice sometimes to just horribly mawkish and bleurgh.

I feel so sad for Jane. I love this song. The writing (sans the unfortunate chimpanzee reference) is pretty good, and I thought the song was one of the better produced tracks from SA. It's actually my favorite from the album.

What could she have used instead of chimpanzee to make this better....? hmmm (goes into deep thought)
