In celebration of Ms. Nicks (and the fact that this blog is named after one of her best albums, The Wild Heart) coming to the land Down Under this week, we’d like to present you with the 10 best songs that every little Nicks fan needs on their Grooveshark account or iPod if you can get them onto there – some are rare tracks. If you do not have a Grooveshark account, please do get one. You can thank me later.
- Gold and Braid - This was a song that was often performed live during the Bella Donna tour in 1981.Why she never put this on any recording is beyond me.
- Thousand Days – Powerful song for anyone who has ever been through a bad breakup.
- Nothing Ever Changes – Probably one of her most underrated rock songs. This one is from the 1983 classic The Wild Heart.
- Rock and Roll - Though you can never touch this original classic by Led Zepplin, Stevie comes closer than the Wilson sisters did in the early 80′s.
- Blue Lamp – The soundtrack to Heavy Metal was chock full of rock’s greatest heavy hitters.
- Magnet & Steel - She sings backup on this song. Nevertheless Walter Egan brings the song to an unprecedented portion of believability.
