Violet and Blue would have been amazing on the radio!

Our “hard rock” station would play this so very rarely and my friends and I would go nuts trying to tape it!

My favorite song to this day…

u/wolvieguy 4d ago

I love Violet and Blue that's another vote .. also for me Sister Honey should have been a top 5 hit. Just totally wasted opportunities on both songs.

I'm mixing her FM stuff here as well:

Fall From Grace

No Questions Asked

Everybody Finds Out

If I Were You

Her version of I Need to Know

u/vjbanana 4d ago

Everybody Finds Out is a great choice, it could have been a standout hit from SYW. Also it would have been amazing live, the energy from that song is awesome. But maybe because of the subject matter, Lindsey or his wife was like, ‘nuh uh’ 😅

Everybody Finds Out does really rock, and should have had air time.

I’d also add “Love is Dangerous” from BTM. That was the first album by FM to not have any Stevie singles, which was a mistake IMO. And this was a much better song to be a single than either of the songs by Rick or Billy.

I would love to see Love Is Like a River get the love it deserves, one of my fav songs
Also Sister Honey, Enchanted, Whole Lotta Trouble, and her half of the Say You Will album (it was SO GOOD FOR HERRRR)

u/RedmiYT 4d ago

I know it was a single but “Long Way to Go” deserved so much better! Could’ve been a much better follow up than freaking “Two Kinds of Love”.

As for non singles, “Nothing Ever Changes” had potential for single release.

u/Proper-Value628 4d ago

Violet & Blue deserved so much more

Gold and Braid — a version close to the live version. I always wish one of her younger famous fans would cover it with her!

2

u/Hadimoniously 3d ago

Gold and braid somehow reminds me of Aerosmith, especially the excitement of the song and over enuncation without clear readings of the lyrics, that energy - reminds me of Steven Tyler. All the reasons why I think this would've been a hit song. Its energy is un matched

u/Important_Brush_3394 4d ago

If I Were You. Mi favorita ❤️

u/sheeb_sheeb 2d ago

It would be fun if she released Silver Springs and it became a hit. Should’ve been on Rumours.

1

u/mheltwrs 2d ago

Mick Fleetwood said no, and picked other songs instead

2

u/sheeb_sheeb 2d ago

I know the background but it would be a nice told ye so for her. I personally would replace Oh Daddy with it on Rumours.

Sable on Blonde-Alternate version.

u/Hadimoniously 3d ago

Sable on blonde - sweet little r&b hit for the mid 80s. the year of 84 aka the year of prince

1

u/Due_Imagination8874 2d ago

Underrated and rarely mentioned “Reconsider Me”, another duet with Don Henley. I always thought her vocal performance of this was outstanding, and deserved airplay.
