Stevie Nicks solo - Classic or Dud?

"Edge of Seventeen" was what Destiny's Child sampled for "Bootylicious," right?

Not sure which I like more: "Seventeen" or "Bootylicious."

Hilarious!

"Edge of Seventeen" is fucking immense.

Get ahold of yourself, man, for God's sake.

Yeah, you know it, Bitch.

"Stand Back". I saw this video before I could even GET fucking MTV. You know it fucking rules. And look at her fucking hair. Is it not perfect hair??? How many hairdressers were responsible for that?

This one goes out to Alfred Soto - "I Can't Wait":

And by the way, Edge of Seventeen...

Get ahold of yourself, man, for God's sake.

Hahaha. Why?

She's the goddess. Get on the train now. She's the Queen, man. She's even going to outdo Nico as Queen of Goth if I'm not careful here.

Anyway I don't want to talk to people who haven't heard Kate Bush's The Dreaming album just yet. Just sayin'.

Leather & Lace, live 1981

How Still My Love, live 1983

"This is a song about an old Welsh witch" LOL

haven't read any of this, but its obviously not even an issue, stevie has held her own.

I know I have resurrected this thread about a zillion times, but I want to know if anyone knows this song "Gold & Braid" which didn't appear on either of her first two albums for some weird reason. I'm not even positive that she wrote it, but it's become a big fave of mine.

It's on the box set; before then it was only found on that live show VHS to which you linked.

Yeah! Thanks for responding. I knew it was on the Enchanted thing, that was it. Allmusic says it's indeed her song, but I suppose allmusic could be wrong.

I mean can someone please look at their CD or whatever and confirm that she has the writing credits on this one? Or someone else? Thanks.

Also, I'm determined to keep calm tonight about the music I love, but I just want to say that her song "Outside The Rain", I heard that on my iPod while running through this HUGE graveyard near my house a couple months ago with my friend, and I can't now divorce that feeling from the song itself. I felt like a child, and its a reminder that this gorgeous HUGE graveyard is near my house and I have only to walk a few blocks and I'm in that place again in my mind. There's something incredible about a child running through the greenery of nature, and she summed up that whole feeling for me.

this was on the vintage WS thread but wanted more ppl to see it!

wow so awesome

man this clip is making my life better

the crazy thing is that this is like 10X better than the album version....just such a nice little moment, lost to time...thank god for youtube....

getting irl goosebumps.

wow, that really is gorgeous! Her face kinda makes it better too: a lotta joy in singing.

yeah it's like she's singing like how you sing when you're a little kid, like un-self-conscious and just for the fun

Never really been a huge Stevie Nicks fan, but damned if that isn't one of the most charming clips I've ever seen.

don't blame it on me

BLAME IT ON MY WIIIILD HEEEART

a friend showed me that clip a couple of months ago. it was all we talked about for a couple of days basically

Really, really sweet. Love when the pause in the music (about 1:40) makes her eyes go wide, and she elicits a little chuckle from the makeup woman.

new solo album may 3rd

Her?

i don't believe so

I got the demos for the Wild Heart album... the dressing room video of Wild Heart sounds way better than any of the WH demos I downloaded. Does anyone have a decent mp3 of it?

aka, YSI?

wild heart video is captivating. i didn't realise she looked like that

"i really like it when you sing like *a* child"

She looks like Ann Veal from Arrested Development.

Rave review.

A lot more generous than the Slant review: http://www.slantmagazine.com/music/review/in-your-dreams/2487

Lots of rong in that review. First, David Stewart is certainly not "one of pop music's most progressive, fearless producers" -- one of the most regressive and reactionary, actually, which sometimes worked in his favor.

Secondly, since when is anyone upset over Nicks' choice of literary role models? This is a woman who wears leather and lace, boots in the summer time, and fucked Joe Walsh.

SFJ reviews the new album.

it's more a summary of stevie nicks in general

cf. Headlines That Write Themselves

I actually heard the single on the radio. I liked it. I thought, "wow, this sounds like Stevie Nicks."

i am weirdly intrigued by this

The song based on Twilight is excellent. She has so much empathy for these girls.

“Rooms on fire” has been stuck in my head for weeks now, what a song

― brimstead,

and that song doesn't rhyme! It's the template for what Rupert Hine would do a few years later with Rush's "Ghost of a Chance."

She has said The Other Side of the Mirror is her peak; it happened between the coke rehab period and the Klonopin addiction.

I was blasting Rooms on Fire driving home from the Container Store this evening!

if I do say so myself

She has said The Other Side of the Mirror is her peak

this got me to finally check it out - I got obsessed with Rooms on Fire a few years ago but never got around to the LP. this is great.

The last two songs are wild.

Happy birthday, girl!

^^^ oh my god I love this track, catchy motherfucker

yeah it’s a killer!

did you know where the phrase “edge of seventeen” came from? It was the way tom petty’s wife said “age of seventeen” in her thick southern accent when telling Stevie about how they met.
