Rock a Little, 1985
Written by Stevie Nicks and Mike Campbell
This isn't the reworking of the Elvis Costello song "Imperial Bedroom" that we all crave and deserve, but rather a booming '80s-rock anthem about a couple who don't fully connect. "He says to her why do you do it / She says to him why do you stay." Nicks uses her powerful voice to great effect in the song, buoyed along by Benmont Tench's great organ lines. The song itself, with its abstruse but intriguing lyrics about two people living on different wavelengths, is good, but the performance is all high energy and elevates it to great.
