Stevie Nicks - "Stand Back"

[halo19]

I only casually know of Fleetwood Mac and her solo stuff but have considered possibly getting retrospective stuff from both. I slightly prefer "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around," a Tom Petty duet that not incidentally sounds more like a Petty song overall.

But I don't know if anyone thought they'd associate her with a song with a heavily programmed beat (enough so for even some choreography in the accompanying video), although Prince had initially helped for the synth work on the song. However, this is the most catchy thing she's ever done. And sometimes she was really cute.

I've only superficially gotten into Nicks's solo stuff.

From what I do know, this is cool but not really anything that I love. My fave is "Rooms on Fire."

Earlier this year (or maybe last year? I forget now) there was a CD maxi with new dance mixes of "Stand Back" that I'd occasionally see at the record stores. I can't remember who was involved with that project now. It was getting decent club play, though.

The only Stevie song I know is "Edge of Seventeen," which is amazing. Maybe that's the obvious song, but that's all I've heard enough to remember. And yeah, it's fantastic.

The first time I actually heard Fleetwood Mac's music was when they reunited for The Dance in 1997 and were all over VH1 and MTV. And I'd never thought this about any middle-aged woman previously (or since...Well yeah, Madonna qualifies...now), and it predated American Pie, but Stevie Nicks was a MILF.

Obviously I don't feel the same way 11 years later, but for about a year, yeah, she was (still) hot stuff.
