![]() Is there anybody here who prefers Christine's FM songs that she wrote before BN joined the band? Think about it, we have Why, Spare Me A Little, Come A Little Bit Closer, Remember Me, etc. a TON of great songs. Not to say that I don't like her work with BN...so many classics of hers. But I find that I find her pre BN songs just as good (some, if not better). I also wished that some of those songs were used on the FM, Rumours and Tusk albums. Watching her perform some of those songs with BN in the 1975-76 era really made me think they'd fit the rumours line up quite nicely.

With a couple of exceptions I'd take her pre-BN stuff any day. It was real music without the sweetness. ![]() |

![]() I think her songwriting got stronger as she got more experienced,
some of the pre BN stuff was great - Why for example and some of it would have benefited from better production - her stuff on Penguin for example. Gail |

![]() In my opinion though, the very thing that made her pre-BN stuff better was that lack of over-production

Once I compiled all her pre-rumours band songs for a friend, and she loved it. I did too. It was like a great Christine McVie album that never was.

It's true that Lindsey and Chris go in for big production, however, on Mirage and Tango. But even then, the production choices seem more rewarding than the over-the-top sickly string arrangements on Come a Little Bit Closer and the horns from Heroes. |

![]() I love so much of Christine's pre '75 work!! I have to say that there are very few songs I dislike of Christine's and, in my opinion, she was just as on top of her game in songs before '75 as she was in the songs after. I especially enjoy her songs from Heroes Are Hard To Find. She was always a star to me!!

![]() ![]() Harmless (I assume) joking aside, I've only heard a few songs of Christine's from pre-Rumours on Selections From 25 Years - The Chain, but they're certainly beautiful! But more than from the Rumours era? I need more evidence... fortunately, Mystery To Me and Heroes Are Hard To Find are making their way over to me from the UK soon, which is a start...

If I made a list of my favorite Chris McVie songs & tracks, it probably wouldn't contain more than one or two from 1984 to 2009. Most of the list would comprise songs from 1969 to 1982.

![]() I would have agreed with this entirely, except for the introduction of ITM in 2004, which feature some of her best performances since 1979...
