TTT - 10 Favorite Songs From One Of My Favorite Artists

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?
