I strangely love Ricky. It's such a BuckVie thing.

Only Over You
Never Make Me Cry
You Make Loving Fun
Don't Stop
Feel About You

I feel Christine shined brightly through 1975 but her writing got weaker over time. Her songs on Tusk are all weak but the production carries them.

FuzzyPlum, I respect your opinion too, but Save Me? WTF?

I love Christine’s vocals on this so much, plus the amazing guitar work by Rick Vito, and the backing vocals by everyone. I even love how the song keeps going on as it ends. I also think it’s a very interesting song, lyrically. And it sounds so good on the radio.

This is hard, and not so hard. I like most of the Christine's work. As I read before, every album has good, different and interesting material from her.
This is my Top 5!

- Honey Hi. No. Please no, dear people. No!
- Oh Daddy. Sooo booooring
- One More Night. I still don't understand what they pretended to do with these songs!
- Why. I know I'm going against a big number of members and beautiful people, but no, I don't like this song. I said it once, I think there's more similar songs from her which sound really better and emotional...
- The Way I Feel. This is probably an unexpected choice, as I don't dislike the song, but iif I must choose, I guess it would be this!

It mostly about being burnt out on it. For many years I couldn't even listen to Rumours because it was so played out. Now, the rest of Rumours sounds good to me just not YMLF and DS for some reason.

Completely understand. I can't listen to Dreams, Landslide, Over My Head, or Rhiannon.

I rarely do this but I would make 1 change to my list swapping out Mystified with I Do. I tend to want to leave Time songs alone since the band was in an odd state at that time. But nonetheless its an official Mac album.

This challenge truly is a Sophie's Choice.

Understood, though in all fairness to those songs, it’s not their fault. I can’t stand Don’t Stop, Dreams, Say You Love Me et al because I’ve overplayed them, but I can still recognize their artistic merit.

I'll never get sick of SYLM. Something about it makes me so happy when I hear it. The other two... ehhhhh.
