Mac Enthusiasm secrets

FuzzyPlum · #1 01-31-2018, 01:28 PM

I tend to dip in and out of different eras of Fleetwood Mac. Obviously there are big differences in the music and its like listening to different bands (essentially I am listening to different bands). Most of the time I like MJCSL but I'll get bored and go through a Bob Welsh phase. Then I'll get bored and get a blues fix. Then I'll play Behind The Mask. On the odd occasion I'll play Time. I don't play solo records much, though obviously I listened to Buckingham McVie loads.

Obviously I'll listen to a lot of other music inbetween- Beatles, Radiohead, Pearl Jam, REM, Paul Weller/The Jam, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Stone Roses, soul, reggae, two-tone...

...but I'm never far away from Fleetwood Mac in some incarnation. Varying the eras keeps it fresh when you go back to the big 5 albums.

I'm stuck on David Gilmour LIve in Pompeii. I saw the show in Hollywood and I'm wearing it out.

Roger Waters is THE MAN

I have the radio on a lot, so I listen to a loads of other music....BUT on
Saturday, I have a Mac fest, unfortunately shared with husband who gorges on
Bob Dylan.
Last Saturday was a Tusk morning...
It helps keep well known tunes fresh, if you don’t listen to them all the time helps...

1981: I don't want to be in Pink Floyd it's done and I think everyone should be done. If you continue I will sue you.

2017: Come see me do THE WALL!! $350!!

I saw the Pro's and Con's Tour in 1984 and loved it.
I saw Gilmour's About Face in 1984 and loved it.
I saw Christine's 1984 tour and loved it.

As time went on (no pun intended), I've seen Gilmour's output and direction as beautiful and amazing.

Roger's??? ehhhhhh Didn't like the next few albums after.

Just my take on that.

I keep it fresh by going back to whatever songs I am in the mood for that day. Sometimes it's an "Edge of Seventeen" day if I'm feeling aggressive or antsy. "Dreams" if I'm in a reflective mood. Etc....don't listen to the same albums or songs every day. Dig out those album cuts. The Mac has so much output I never get bored of them.

The demos and the live bootleg concerts have held my interest all these years, in between the long wait for new albums. Stevie's demos are my treasures but after 2008 I stopped listening to Fleetwood Mac and opened the door to current music on a grand scale. I still listen to the Mac but they are no longer front and center. I haven't played my BuckVie music since last summer. But just tonight I listened to several tracks from the latest White Album release.

It's WELCH. Bob WELCH. W-E-L-C-H.

This spelling error is the pre-Rumours era "Lindsay." You see both of these errors often, and they are really annoying.

You are quite right.
I am bad.
I've forced myself to listen to Teen Beat three times as a penance.
I will not do it again.

Edit:
PS- it's because I'm Welsh

How anal retentive of you. I am, too!

Those both drive me crazy!

In everyday life, lose/loose is my worst one. I want to KILL when someone types that they're about to ~loose~ their mind.

"Loose weight" is a phrase you see a lot. GRRRR! As if the person has a way of shaking the adipose off their hips. It's especially annoying since those two words aren't even pronounced the same (looz vs. looce).
