2012 Fleetwood Mac Contest

[MacShadowsBall]

Well it is time for a new Fleetwood Mac contest. In 2010, we did favorite Fleetwood Mac song, while last year we did least favorite song.

Here are the choices for the next contest. Vote for the one you would like to see done.

Choice A - Best of Christine, Lindsey, Stevie
This contest would take the best of both FM and solo songs for each performer and create an 18 song "Best of". For example, "The Best of Stevie Nicks, 18 songs chronicling her songs from 1973's Buckingham Nicks album through 2011's In Your Dreams." This would be done for each of the Rumours era vocalists.

Choice B - Favorite Non-Hit Song
This contest would remove the songs that are/were deemed hits and find the favorite song among the others.

Choice C - Favorite Live Performance
About 4 peformances for each song they peformed live would be eligible to determine the favorite live performance. Once each song has a favorite live performance, they will battle it out for Overall favorite Fleetwood Mac peformance.

Choice D - The Ultimate Fleetwood Mac: 18 Songs That Every Fleetwood Mac Fan Should Have
This would create an ultimate 1 disc best of Fleetwood Mac.

Due to the lack of participation from the Pre-Rumours Ledgies during last years contest, these contests would focus mainly on the Rumours/Post-Rumours era albums and songs.

Opinions or comments let me know!

Non hit song would be interesting.

I voted non-hit as well.

although i think the non-hit idea might be interesting in general, i like separate best-of for each songwriter even better.

my reasoning: b/c of uneven numbers of fans for each songwriter among registered members on this board, i don't follow polls where songs from 3 songwriters are pitted against each other. in such polls, songs that are the most interesting to me tend to be eliminated fast.

We could split out the non-hit favorites for each songwriter separately.

I'm torn! They're all good. I'll have to think it over.

Glad to see you interested in the next contest. I remember our discussions on the one back in 2010.

Generally, as long as there is a Stevie song in the poll, it will win regardless.

That's the way I was thinking. Check back on my threads from August-Dec of 2010 for the favorite song contest. I broke up each album by the 3 different vocalists, got a winner for each vocalist on that album, and then had those songs battle for favorite song from that album.

I voted for the best-of lists- it would be nice to have a well-rounded compilation put together for each songwriter.

Me too. Will have a think on it. Forerunner at the moment is choice B - non hit.

Choice A - Best of.....

Can we do all these polls one after the other?

This is MacShadowsBall's thread. Ofcourse she'll get around to making a poll of all three. That's what she does best: pole dancing.

[TerraRhiannon]

I love all of these ideas but... I voted for non hit. I think it would be interesting to see what could come out on top!

Perhaps there should be a contest of our favorite poll.

I think that the concept of contests that pitch songs against songs are ridiculous. But to each its own. Over time I've lost interest in them. Yet interestingly, I still have interest in poles. (insert smirky smile here).
