Her most underrated song

[holidayroad]

Prove Your Love is my very favorite song by Christine. It definitely deserves more recognition!!

Bad Loser

I love the different feel Mick gives it. She sings with a bit more anger than sadness.

I think her Time and BTM songs would have made such a huge splash if they'd been released by the Rumours era of the group. They would have gotten tons of air play and would be an indelible part of pop culture today. Instead, I just hear, tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies . . . everywhere I go.

Save Me, Estoril, Behind the Mask and throw Heart of Stone in there too.

Great stuff. And I've already said the same thing about Calumny and Northern Star a zillion times, but since she didn't write them, I wouldn't necessarily include them here.

"Love in Store" was included in the Mirage tour so it wasn't that underrated, imho. As "Isn't it midnight", I feel it was underrated but at least it was included in the Tango tour.

Well the issue is underrated by who? People, media, or the band itself? My previous sentences were based in the band itself.

My list would be:

Never Make Me Cry
Warm Ways
Wish you were here
Do you know

Yeah! There's a knowing edge to her delivery there, and a sly sophistication. It's a hot song. Would have loved to have heard either Danny or Lindsey's stinging guitars on it.

I used to think she was best at singing her own tunes, but her performances on those two ITM songs are so amazing I had to change my mind. Seriously, her vocals there are career highs in a career full of them.

Love In Store was never played again, as far as I know, right? I wish it was. Isn't it Midnight was played on two tours--Tango and Mask. Why oh Why was it not included in The Dance? It would have been a great up tune.

No Love Shines? Really? That, and As Long As You Follow, are absolute perfektion.

I agree!! It's the best song on Time. I guess it's sad that it is on Time. That means fewer fans have heard it.

[On Ice]

Christine has so many gems it's hard to select which ones are the most underrated. I would agree about her Heroes and Time contributions. This is some of her most creative writing and it's truly a shame that Bad Loser isn't receiving much deserved multiple spins on classic rock radio! Sooner or Later also should have been a massive hit, and would've been if it had been recorded by the fab 5, same could be said for all of her Time performances, really, very good.

It's got to be ''Come A Little Bit Closer'' , sounding so good on that tumblr player.
Damn they need to remaster all the pre-Rumours stuff NOW

Yup. Love this song to death. Also "Why" has always been a big favorite of mine and just about every song of hers on Tusk, which I don't feel get enough credit. A lot of people don't like "Honey Hi" but I think it's such an underrated gem of a song.

[michelej1]

I love Honey Hi and it fits perfectly on that album. If it had appeared on Mirage or somewhere else, then I don't think I would appreciate it so much. The drum beat is hypnotic, but peaceful too, mirroring the simplicity of the lyrics. It would have been a beautiful thing to see Mick and Christine performing this live.
