Time - Least Favorite Song
Let's get started with the voting for your least favorite song from the Time album.
Poll closes in 4 days. :cool: |
I don't even know where to begin. The only one of these that I like is "Dreaming the Dream". I'll have to think about which of the others I can least stand.

Blow by Blow but is it as unpleasant as I remember?
|
It seems as though Bekka (at least her voice) is well represented here with these songs. :shrug:
|
It's a shame this poll isn't multiple choice, as I would be voting for each one of these. I find this album altogether hideous.

Too much Christine, wasted track space w/These Strange Times, too much of Bekka's voice, too little Billy Burnette, and no Christine/Billy collaborations. Overall the album is too long. And as much as I love "Blow by Blow", was Dave Mason really needed? |

It gets my vote as well... |
I would love to have voted for "Talkin' to My Heart" instead of any of these.
I ended up voting for "Hollywood" (terrible production - endless repeats and bland harmonies) but "I Got It in for You" is a close second. I'm surprised that "These Strange Times" doesn't have a lot of votes. I like it up until Mick starts talking (and it's one of the only songs where Bekka's background vocals don't sound desperate and intrusive - again, a production issue on the album). - Jake |
I gotta go with "These Strange Times". The song just isn't needed while more time could have been given to the others.

But then, in early '94, Billy, another Bramlett associate, asked to rejoin the band. I think the chemistry they had hoped would develop between Mason and Bramlett happened between Bramlett and Burnette, which ultimately devalued Mason's role in the band, creatively speaking. On the other hand, Mason WAS a popular musician in his own right, and at least brought a name to that front line-up, which it would not have had in concert without him. If Billy had stayed, Bekka would probably have still been asked to join, but I doubt that Dave Mason would have. They would have just gotten a lead guitarist. |

Which brings up the question...since Todd Sharp had worked with Bob Welch under Mick Fleetwood's managerialship, with Christine on her solo album and subsequent tour (even playing a show or two of Christine's with Billy Burnette), on Danny Douma's album (and in Danny's touring band, opening a number of FLeetwood Mac shows on the Tusk tour), with Mick on his African recording safari (read: The Visitor) It just seemed really logical that he would've been, at some point, offered the lead guitar position in Fleetwood Mac itself. :shrug: Would like to know the dynamic of why he wasn't. |

Also is it just me or are the conversations on the Post-Rumours forum more interesting that the other forums? Perhaps it's just me and my interest in those ten non-Rumours era years. :) |

The reason the '87-'97 discussions are so interesting, IMO, is that there was so much untapped potential. The new players were great, but the band played it too safe and tried to not stray too far from the "Rumours" sound, which is completely the opposite of the post-Peter Green/pre-Buckingham Nicks years. The few moments of brilliance were diluted, and the overall effect was generic music that really hasn't stood the test of time. |
With 6 votes, "Blow by Blow" wins least favorite song from Time.
