The top 10 weekly meme used to be hosted by The Broke and the Bookish they handed over the reins to ThatArtsyReaderGirl who can be found HERE. Each week she will focus on lists which cover various topics related to books and reading.
This week is all about audio and I don't use audiobooks so I'm going the music route and sharing with you my 10 Favorite Songs from one of my favorite artists.....Stevie Nicks! Come on, you thought it was going to be Prince right? That's coming in Purple April folks. I think Stevie is a perfect choice especially since she is being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this week on March 29th.
Leather and Lace was our wedding song so it will always hold a dear place in my heart.
Landslide is such a beautiful song and always makes me think of my dad.
Did you know
Stand Back was written by Prince? I had to work him in somehow.
Sorcerer was released twice. Once in 1984 and again in 2001. Sheryl Crow plays background guitar.
I remember hearing
Rhiannon for the first time when I was on one of my first dates with Mr. Barb playing pool. We were married about 9 months afterwards and this year will be our 28th anniversary. So much for long courtships huh?
Gold Dust Woman was written by Nicks and originally performed by Fleetwood Mac. It's been on several of her solo albums since its release in 1977. Nicks has since said "gold dust woman" is a reference to cocaine.
A lesser known song,
Nightbird has always been one of my faves. It contains one of my favorite lyrics as well "And the summer became the fall, I was not ready for the winter, It makes no difference at all, 'Cause I wear boots all summer long."
John Cocteau's 1946 french film
Beauty and the Beast is one of Stevie's favorite films and the inspiration for this song.
Gypsy was written in 1979 by Nicks for Fleetwood Mac.
Almost everyone has at least heard
Dreams. Such a classic that has actually been covered by several different artist including Bastille and The Coors.
So there you have it. A little something different for today's post. I would say that if Prince is my favorite male artist, Stevie is the female equivalent. So are you a Nicks or Fleetwood Mac fan? Will you be watching the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction?
Landslide is such a beautiful song and always makes me think of my dad.
Awesome. I love Stand Back and Gypsy has always been one of my favorite songs. I like her sisters of the moon from TUSK, and also her Rooms on fire.
ReplyDeleteGold Dust Woman is a fave too. :)
She has so many good songs. And there is a new 3-cd compilation coming out in a month that I can't wait for!
DeleteI TOTALLY thought you were going to say Prince -- and now I think my musical education is severely lacking bc I don't know any of these !!
ReplyDeleteYea, I knew everyone would. I will have some Prince posts in April since I commemorate his passing each year - some music, some book related.
DeleteAh to be honest I've only heard one song of hers but I don't think it's one of these songs!
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of her voice as well. I have her biography that came out last year and really need to make time for it.
DeleteYou're really taking me back in time with this post, Barb! I think I only own one Fleetwood Mac album but I listened to it non stop😁
ReplyDeleteThey are such an awesome group. I'm not too happy that they've kicked Buckingham out but their old stuff is great.
DeleteWow! These are all new to me.
ReplyDeleteYou need to check them out!
DeleteUmm it's safe to say I might not know these...though maybe if I heard them but I know I don't know much about Stevie Nicks! When it comes to music most of the times I would have to listen to it to see if I know it as titles don't do nothing for me...lol.
ReplyDeleteYou probably would recognize some of them. I wanted to include youtube videos but it was just too much work.
DeleteI've never heard of any of these songs, but they do sound amazing. :)
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten Tuesday post.
Maybe you'll take a listen one day.
DeleteI like Stevie Nicks too!
ReplyDeleteHere's a link to my TTT post: https://captivatedreader.blogspot.com/2019/03/top-ten-tuesday-audiobook-freebie-my.html?showComment=1553617757328#c4963295880076597634
Such a lovely and interesting lady.
DeleteI've always been more of a Stevie Nicks fan. Landslide is one of my favorite songs. I even learned to play it on the guitar.
ReplyDeleteTha's awesome.
DeleteI'm seeing lots of music-themed lists this week and it makes me want to redo my own post, haha.
ReplyDeleteI feel that way sometimes. I'm like - why didn't I think of that?
DeleteI do love Stevie Nicks! I love these songs but I would have to add Silver Springs to the list :)
ReplyDeleteYES! I forgot that one. It's great as well.
DeleteI totally thought it was going to be Prince. LOL! But yay for Stevie Nicks!!
ReplyDeleteHis time is coming!
DeleteYeah, you got me, I was all prepared for Prince! But Stevie is a very talented lady, great feature!
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
Thanks. Glad people seem to enjoy it.
DeleteI love Stevie Nicks too! Love all your picks!
ReplyDeleteSomehow I'm not surprised since we have lots of similar tastes.
DeleteOh man, yes, I love Stevie! Her and Fleetwood Mac's songs are on my regular rotation of listens!
ReplyDeleteI never tire of hearing her or Fleetwood Mac.
DeleteIt’s so funny that you mention Prince and Stevie Nicks in the same post because those are my sister’s two favorite artists of all time. She got to see Prince in concert many years ago and last year she drove out of state to see Stevie Nicks. I wouldn’t t consider myself a huge fan but I do like several of her songs. stand Back is a good one!
ReplyDeleteMan, your sister and I must be musical kindred spirits. I would have loved to see Prince before he passed. Stevie would be a great concert too.
DeleteOhh, I love Fleetwood Mac and Stevie. Did you watch American Horror?
ReplyDeleteLynn :D
Yes I did - just for her. And she made another small appearance on the last season as well.
DeleteI love this!! <3
ReplyDeleteThanks Erica.
DeleteI've heard of Stevie Nicks - obviously - but I have to admit that the only song I know is Dreams... Will have to have a listen to some of your recommendations here. :)
ReplyDeleteThere's just something about her voice and persona. I could listen to her all day.
DeleteI used to listen to a ton of Stevie Nicks. I loved Landslide. 🎶
ReplyDeleteIt's a great song to love.
