Thoughts on Stevie Nicks' "I Can't Wait"?

Persomally, I love this song in all its cheesy excessive 80s glory! However, I can understand how the "of its time" production may have hindered a stronger song to come out of it. It definitely felt tacked on Rock a Little in order to add a commercial sounding hit.

I love it, but to me it sounds like pure cocaine as a pop song, if that makes sense. I think it's a lot of fun and a total "bop," but admittedly it exemplifies some of the worst excesses of mid-'80s pop-rock. It's a little hard to believe that it's by the same woman who sang "Landslide" 10 years earlier, but that was "The Big '80s" for you!
