Known almost as much for the songs she rejected for it ("These Dreams," which would become a hit for Heart; "Don't Come Around Here No More," which would become a hit for Tom Petty), as for the ones she kept (the pulsing, pop-focused opening cut "I Can't Wait" and the similarly chart-oriented hit, "Talk to Me"), Stevie Nicks' Rock A Little is an encyclopedia of '80s pop/rock clichés. The Oberheim synths, the Linn drums, the high-flanged, dive-bomb guitar lines, the synth bass, the plasticine sheen ... it sounds like what a CD looks like and it resembles no other album in Nicks' discography. While many other high-gloss studio albums of the era reveled in their sterility, Nicks' husky voice cuts through the digitalia and breathes real life into these otherwise anonymous tunes. © Jason Ferguson/Qobuz
