Songs You Usually Skip
Ok so we have polls coming out of our ears in terms of least favourite song, but given that most people in this forum don't seem to think the polls are worth the cyberspace they are floating around in then lets have a discussion about what tracks we don't particularly like or skip for one reason or another. Not a poll in sight...
Yes so everyone in this forum loves every member of every lineup of FM, with the exception of Dave Walker who everyone hates except me and a couple of others. Surely though, you don't like EVERY track??? Doesn't even have to be Fleetwood Mac, it can be a Fleetwood Mac solo album. Just pre-1975 members so we keep it all nice and compact with the right forum (though I guess the songs can be post-75???) Ok so now for my skip list Fleetwood Mac When You Say (Then Play On) Woman of 1000 Years Dust Thoughts on A Grey Day All those longs jams - Encore Jam, Rattlesnake Shake (not the song just the 24 minute version) Albatross (don't hate me but it annoys me) Jeremy Spencer Man of Action (Funny though it is) If I Could Swim The Mountain Christine Perfect When You Say And That's Saying A Lot Peter Green The Entire End of the Game Album No Way Out The Case (from Katmandu) Heavy Heart Bob Welch B666 The Entire Bob Welch Looks at Bop album Mick Fleetwood O'Niamali The Visitor |

I've never been someone who can listen to a song and say "Oh yes XYZ is really showing his jazz influences in a post-modernist spectrum" or some such. I just enjoy a song or I don't. Sure maybe that was Danny at his most introspective, poetic, or whatever, but it just doesn't do it for me. :sorry: |
If I'm playing a pre-'74 Mac album, I never skip tracks. But sometimes I play a song or two from several albums, sadly in some kind of chronological order, for example a few songs from Then Play On, a couple of the singles, then 2 or 3 from Kiln House, then 2 or 3 from Future Games etc. That'll usually lead me off somewhere else, listening to solo stuff or something. If I'm playing a few tracks from "Penguin", I'll always play Dave Walker's two tracks, and "Remember Me" for Bob Weston's solo. If I listen to post-'74 Mac, I'm far more likely to skip tracks.
Some albums I only play when I'm in a weird mood, like "The End of the Game", and I can't say I play it a lot, but I like it. I dig pretty much all the solo stuff, except Christine's stuff, John's Gotta Band album and the Bob Welch Bop album. They're all OK but I'm not crazy about them. The Paris albums are great, as are Peter's, Danny's and Jeremy's - nothing there I skip. |

The only three tracks I skip when playing any pre-'74 stuff are:
When You Say (both FMac's & Christine's) Thoughts On A Grey Day (Mrs Scarrott's poem) (I'm A) Roadrunner (not a bad song, just poor execution) That's it. :shrug: |
