10. In Your Dreams, Stevie Nicks: In Your Dreams was a lovely surprise, a delicately layered collection of lush pop tunes with country and rock flourishes. Producer Dave Stewart (yes, the Eurythmics guy) plays up to Nicks’ vivid tales of ghosts, vampires and gothic romance without getting bogged down in the imagery.

Good to see In Your Dreams getting some well-deserved recognition!

Of COURSE it's one of the best albums of 2011! It should've been higher up, say... 1? Haha, I'm glad it made the list, though.

I just tried to watch the video of For What It's Worth. It just pisses me off. It's full of some fanstastic images and footage, but it's totaly unwatchable because of the split second edits that continue at a constant and frantic pace throughout the entire video. What the fu*k!

It makes me mad. Not only is it a crappy production technique, it so contradicts the slow, contemplative feel of the song. The images that were caputured are rendered useless. It's as if David was on coke or speed when he edited this (I assume he is responsible for it). At what point did anyone involved think was a good thing? It sucks! It sucks! It sucks! It sucks! It sucks! It sucks! It sucks! It suck! It sucks...I'm giving a suck rating to every fricken ADD edit.

The album it great! The videos...suck!

9: Stevie Nicks / In Your Dreams

In Your Dreams, Stevie Nicks‘ first truly great solo album since 1981’s Bella Donna, boasts one of the most ridiculous and simultaneously beautiful songs she’s ever sang. If you know the record already, I’m sure you can guess which track I’m talking about. It’s “Midnight (A Vampire’s Dream)” and if you’re unfamiliar, well then I’ll just say it, it’s a love song about two star crossed vampires. It is wildly absurd and yet Nicks pulls it off and it becomes the record’s most memorable moment not because of its subject matter, but because of its gorgeous chorus. The rest of the record more than lives up to the high of “Midnight”, becoming one of the most surprisingly cool records released this year. If you bypassed In Your Dreams because you thought it was a disposable late period record from a 70’s relic, rethink your position and get lost in its dreamy sweep.

If he loved it that much, you would think he could remember the title.

Washington Blade, By Joey DiGuglielmo on December 30, 2011

• She doesn’t tear it up like she did in the old days, but what Stevie Nicks lacks in passion and grit, she’s made up for in pitch and finesse. Her “In Your Dreams Tour,” supporting her amazing 2011 new album (her first in a decade), found the Fleetwood Mac singer taking her time, giving her band plenty of chances to shine and balancing a wealth of cuts from the new album with trademark Mac and solo hits like barnburner “Edge of Seventeen” and “Rumors”-era wonder “Gold Dust Woman.”

#2 Stevie Nicks In Your Dreams

Stevie Nicks is a ****ing legend, no one care argue with that. In Your Dreams is her first studio album in almost ten years, thankfully it was well worth the extremely long wait. It’s a beautifully crafted album that cuts straight to the heart, there’s something so comforting and soothing about her unique voice, if you haven’t checked out this release yet, please do yourself a favor and pick up a copy! Sadly in today’s youth-oriented world, it’s easy for Ms. Nicks to be passed over but I’m telling you this is such a solid album that’s definitely not to be missed.

Essential Tracks:
New Orleans, Italian Summer, For What It’s Worth, Secret Love, In Your Dreams
