Top Fifteen Favorite Christine McVie Songs
Apologies in advance if this 'too hard' to do.
I'm sticking with FM songs only, though you can do your list however you want. ;) Here's mine: 1. Warm Ways 2. Over & Over 3. Hold Me 4. As Long As You Follow 5. Songbird 6. Oh Daddy 7. You Make Loving Fun 8. Never Make Me Cry 9. Brown Eyes 10. Honey Hi 11. Never Forget 12. Say You Love Me 13. Over My Head 14. Think About Me 15. Love Shines |
Since I am a HUGE Christine fan this is like picking your favorite children.....impossible. But as always, I never chicken out. For the record, I LOVE all Christine songs. My lists come from the top of my head and from my gut. I don't know how to limit it to 15 so off the top of my head in no particular order:
Come a little bit closer Why Just Crazy Love Prove your love Love in Store Nights in Estoril Brown Eyes Songbird The smile I live for Ask Anybody Warm Ways Isn't it midnight You make loving fun Never Forget Over and Over (live) |
I'm not sure I can manage (to limit it to) 15...
In no particular order; Show Me a Smile Come a Little Bit Closer Why Isn’t It Midnight Wish You Were Here Brown Eyes Never Forget Warm Ways Got a Hold on Me Spare Me a Little of Your Love Say You Love Me You Make Loving Fun As Long As You Follow Northern Star Givin’ it Back _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Heroes Are Hard To Find Love Shines Over & Over Love Will Show Us How Mystified |
In no particular order:

CM is tops for me and there isn't much of her work that I don't enjoy :) |

Alright, I'll give it a go--and I'll include some of her solo things:
1. Say You Love Me 2. Friend (acoustic version) 3. You Make Loving Fun 4. Forgiveness 5. Oh Daddy 6. Crazy 'Bout You Baby (live-in-studio version from Madison Blues, 1971) 7. Believe Me (Sausalito soundboard, 1974) 8. Why 9. Don't Stop (don't kill me: the original version of the song is dynamite) 10. Songbird 11. Over My Head 12. Brown Eyes ("Yesterday's Tears" version, 1978) 13. No Road Is the Right Road 14. I Want You 15. Get Like You Used to Be (live, Passaic, NJ 1975) There are others. And if you get me on another day and I might substitute a few of these for "Smile I Live For," "Hollywood," "Remember Me," or "Warm Ways"... |

1. Why
2. Songbird 3. Bad Loser 4. Oh Daddy 5. Warm Ways 6. Brown Eyes 7. World Turning 8. YMLF 9. The Smile I live For 10. I'd Rather Go Blind 11. One in A Million 12 Anything is Possible 13. Ask Anybody 14. Isn't It Midnight 15. Forgiveness |
The best I could do was 24 songs, mostly from her FM catalog. The order is very rough, I just know that I like these 24 more than the rest of the list.
You Make Loving Fun Why Brown Eyes Say You Love Me Homeward Bound Believe Me Bad Loser Spare Me A Little Of Your Love I'd Rather Go Blind Just Crazy Love Think About Me Sugar Daddy Little Lies Nights In Estoril Oh Daddy Prove Your Love Behind The Mask Heroes Are Hard To Find Morning Rain Remember Me Friend Never Forget Over My Head The Way I Feel |
In no specific order:
Isn't It Midnight Heart of Stone Did You Ever Love Me Why Honey Hi Little Lies Brown Eyes Temporary One World Turning Oh Daddy Heroes Are Hard to Find Songbird Remember Me Come a Little Bit Closer Say You Love Me |

As with Stevie and Lindsey, in order of brilliance IMHO:
1. Over and Over (like the song title goes, I could listen to this over and over, and have! To me, it's her best song) 2. You Make Loving Fun (her best hit, and overall pop tune, like Go Your Own Way, is timeless from start to finish). 3. Morning Rain (with Danny Kirwan's blistering guitar to her simple, but powerful lyrics, this early song was a sign of things to come, but also a great moment in her career). 4. Think About Me (should've been bigger than Don't Stop IMO) 5. Hold Me 6. Believe Me (3 me's in a row and wonderful me's they are). 7. Brown Eyes (hearing the new version, I think I like it even better). 8. Friend 9. Nights in Estoril 10. Behind the Mask ( a brilliant title track from a mediocre record) 11. Don't Stop 12. Isn't it Midnight (my favourite tune from Tango). 13. Honey Hi (simple, lush and beautiful) 14. Say You Love Me 15. Come a Little Bit Closer (toss up with Why, but this one wins.) Bubbling Under: Why, Spare Me A Little, The Smile I Live For, Songbird (Why and Come a Little Bit Closer, I think are better songs), Get Like You Used to Be. |

Late to the party, but I love me some Christine.

Oops forgot Mystified which would be around Never Forget.

Which is a funny realization for me, cause when I was a kid it was Stevie. Then it was Lindsey. And then it was Mick and John, because it's always Mac as long as they're there. But now it's Christine. |
