I actually love most of the songs on your list. Except maybe Only Over You, but the others I love.

The others I really just cannot stand for the same reasons are "Save Me" and "Got A Hold On Me", and especially "Skies The Limit", which I think I can safely say is my least favorite ever, or at least it's tied with "Everywhere". There are exceptions, though. I always liked "Oh Daddy", but when I heard her say that she's being sarcastic in it, then I started really, really loving it! It's one of my favorite songs on Rumours. And I love "Over My Head", and "Wait and See" from the first solo album, and "The Smile I Live For" from the 1984 solo album. And I don't get the hate for "Little Lies". At least she has something to say in that one, other than the usual "I'm so in love and life is just so wonderful and I'm just Suzy Sunshine" theme. |

True. Almost all of her songs have this rather dark undertone to it amidst all the seemingly happy, upbeat melodies.
And quite a few really showcase her sense of humor a lot, like Sugar Daddy for example.

I like when she says, "Gots to get outta here" at the end of Hollywood..

Anyway. There aren't a lot of Christine songs I hate, actually I can't think of any, even some that bug me (like her Mirage songs and "Everywhere") can do so because they're so close to being songs I could love. But "Never Make Me Cry" might be the one song that's just the hardest for me to give any kind of **** about. Some of her 90's stuff feels very bland but makes me seriously wonder if maybe different production would help? Although I think "Skies the Limit" is just not for me. OTOH ... at one point -- specifically, when I was a teenager and didn't know Fleetwood Mac beyond the radio hits -- "Don't Stop" would've been my first answer. I thought it was so ineffective and had no interesting angle. Now I think it's a lot of fun especially to sing along to. I've also come around on "Brown Eyes" a total 180 degrees. I generally like Christine Perfect (I dig the guitar on "When You Say") and In the Meantime (there's two or three I skip but I still like them more than the stuff I skip from the 80s and 90s) but I've never listened to Christine McVie or the entire Chicken Shack albums so that should qualify my opinion. |

In my high school, kids were still worshipping Zeppelin and cheering on the metal acts, like Judas Priest and Black Sabbath. The girls liked Journey and Def Leopard. Rush was acceptable. My obsession with Fleetwood Mac made me an easy target for ridicule. But I held my ground. I especially caught heat for buying the Stevie solo albums. So uncool for a guy, unless he was gay, and I was, so I was pretty much a freak anyway. Funny thing is' today' so many of my childhood friends text me or email me or facebook me to say they think of me anytime they hear the Mac. I think that's a complement.
There's very little Christine I don't like. A handful of bland numbers from the 84 solo album, Skies the Limit, All Over Again, the vocals on Morning Rain and Homeward Bound... |

My favorites were Christine McVie and Joni Mitchell. And I was on the football team. I had to endure Motley Crue, Guns and Roses, and a bunch of other horrible music that did not interest me in the least.

Hey! Somebody make a note of it: on this day, someone on the Ledge said they liked something about "When You Say" (a rare occurrence indeed!).

I agree about the vocal on "Morning Rain," but I've never had any objection to the vocal on "Homeward Bound" (the song that in my opinion is Christine's lost classic). What is it about the vocal on "HB" that you don't like?
