I was just going to say the same thing. I don't think Chris has any bad songs, but the three I like the least are Bad Loser, Only Over You, and Little Lies.

I had no idea that Sugar Daddy and Mystified were so unloved. I really like both of them.

Oh I think her two absolute worse songs are Bad Journey and Easy Come, Easy Go. But I wasn't even counting those. I was thinking of Mac songs and I'd put Warm Ways and Never Make Me Cry in there as well as Sugar Daddy.

And if the lyrics are jarring that doesn't help the song for me. I understand that Family Man may make a great instrumental, but as a song with lyrics and music, it still fails for me. Same with Sugar Daddy.

IT's so funny how different people hear different things because Over and Over and One More Night are two of my very very favorites

But a lot of people love Little Lies and I think it's just meh.

Same here.. I love LIttle Lies, too. But it's production is too much. As a comp, it's a great tune.

This thread is too old for me to bother seeing if I responded previously, but the only Christine McVie song I can distinctly say I don't really like is Warm Ways. Even then, it's not a bad song. It's just a bit sleepy.

Do a lot of focused fans like Little Lies? To me, it's the casual listener's favorite.

I looove Bad Loser it's in my Christine top three with Heart of Stone and Oh Daddy (top).

But Never Make Me Cry and Honey Hi are both too lightweight for me.

Oh, I totally forgot about One More Night. Scratch Sugar Daddy (well, that didn't sound right) and Honey Hi and put me down for this. It just feels like an incomplete or toss away song.

Little Lies is my favorite Tango song. It did take awhile to grow on me. I only truly started to appreciate it after seeing done live last year.

EXACT SAME top 3. Pretty impressive especially considering the randomness of that assortment.

I also LOVE Bad Loser. Its such a unique Christine song. She is rarely negative or name calling in songs. So that unique quality makes the song shine for me.

Funny story.... I was 14 in 1984 and was in full blown Mac worship syndrome. Christine had just released her solo album and I was exploring older Mac music. I had just bought Heros Are Hard To Find and discovered Bad Loser. It was an election year and was also discovering my inner political self. Bad Loser was my inner campaign theme "You're just a bad loser and your gonna go DOWN"
I have not heard the song for awhile but Heros has all sorts of gems from Chris like Come a little bit closer. Its the album right before the explosion of Fleetwood Mac. You can really hear how much better Chris gets album after album. That is why I live Heros so much.

Picking your least favorite Christine song is like picking your least favorite French fry, potato chip, or jelly bean. Its really impossible for me

It clearly is "Do You Know." While "Wish You Were Here" is not my favorite, her duet with Billy really should not have made Behind The Mask. If Only "Love Shines" and "Heart Of Stone" were available to replace it and "The Second Time."

I always loved Do You Know. REALLY loved it. I was in college when it came out, and in a serious unrequited love situation. I think back with sad and happy memories, when I hear it, still. Just like it was yesterday.

Its one of the best songs on Behind the Mask. I am not a fan of Billy singing but his voice sounds great on the song and blends with Chris perfectly.
