Poll for definitive FM songs from 1970-1974

applebucked · #1 10-20-2013, 10:43 PM

I noticed that there are best of collections for both the Peter Green era and the Buckingham Nicks era, but none for the eras between Kiln House and Heroes. What so you think of the idea of selecting 18-20 songs from Kiln House, Future Games, Bare Trees, Penguin, Mystery to Me, and Heroes are Hard to Find albums, plus any B-sides and non album releases via a series of polls and create our own "best of" of sorts?

In response to the last post, I have always wanted that and most of all Bob wanted it. See what you can do to make it happen. Fleetwood Mac Won't work with me because I have worked so hard to get Bob inducted to the RRHOF so they have deleted him comlpletely from those years. I personally think it is cruel and vindictive, but you can think what you want. I just don't get it. They don't have to like me, but they should all care about Bob Welch and the true "CHAIN" and the true history of FM without deleting so many years that got them where they are today. <3

Thank you for your message, Wendy. Unfortunately, I can't really do anything about getting an official release since I am simply a fan, but I can at least fill that hole that was missing in terms of getting a condensed representation of these eras, which are sadly very often overlooked in FM's history. Honestly, I think it's criminal that Bob wasn't inducted (and as a huge, huge Christine fan, saddened and disappointed when I found out she had a major role on this outcome) in the RRHOF, and is overlooked in the band's history.

My main goal with these polls is to determine what songs define this era, and allows people to fill the missing gap.

Songs I think are definitive of this era:

(Edit) When I made my list, I thought the dates were from 1971-1974. From Kiln House, I'd include

Jewel Eyed Judy
Tell Me All the Things You Do

Future Games
Sands Of Time
Show Me a Smile
The Ghost
Sentimental Lady
Spare Me a Little of Your Love
Dust
Remember Me
Revelation
Did You Ever Love Me
Emerald Eyes
Just Crazy Love
Hypnotized
The Way I Feel
Why
Angel
Bermuda Triangle
Come A Little Bit Closer
Silver Heels
Prove Your Love

^ That's quite a good list you've got there. Got most of it in my own personal list myself.

Others may think differently, though. Which is why I'm suggesting polls like we did in the Christine board.

Where on earth did you get this awesome idea from?

Sounds great! I hope lots from Bare Trees and Mystery to Me qualify.

I once made up individual 'best ofs' for three members including Bob, and mostly from this period, for some friends who didn't know of much before the 1975 album. I don't know, I can see a purpose to pulling the Danny or Bob written songs together from a bunch of sources, but a 'best of' for the Kiln House to Heroes run seems uninspiring... who here wouldn't just want them all? The Mrs. Scarrot recitation is the one and only inessential thing to me.
