"Favorites" when it comes to anything Fleetwood Mac are always the toughest questions for me. I pretty much love everything Bob did on Mystery to Me and I also like Bermuda Triangle and LOVE Sentimental Lady. I sometimes wish Sentimental Lady would have been on Mystery to Me to make the perfect Bob-era album, but Bare Trees has other gems on it too.

I don't think I've got ONE favourite song, but if I must choose one, it would be Sentimental Lady, of course.
This is my top 5 of Bob songs, one of them with Bob's vocals, but written by Bob Weston:

1) Sentimental Lady
2) Forever
3) Bright Fire
4) Emerald Eyes
5) The Ghost


Regards!

There's something about "The Ghost" that makes me very happy! Have to go with that one.

+1. Such an epic, transporting song. Truly one of the best Mac compositions ever released.

Hypnotized & Bermuda Triangle are tied at #1
Everything else is tied at a very close #2.

Future Games.

But the live version of Bermuda Triangle runs a close second.

And Miles Away a close third.

I´ve only recently started to listen to the 1971-74 period, and so far Future Games is the outstanding Welch track.

If you love this track, be sure to listen to Jonathan Wilson´s two recent albums!

The Bob Welch/Christine McVie era of FM was my favourite.

My one favourite song? I'd probably have to go with She's Changing Me.

But I am obsessed with all of his songs from Mystery to Me and Penguin as well.

After really listening to the 1971-74 albums, these would be on my Best of the Bob Welch tracks:

Future Games
The Ghost
Revelation
Night Watch
Emerald Eyes
Hypnotized
The City
Coming Home
Angel
Bermuda Triangle
Safe Harbour

Sentimental Lady is pretty good, too - but I find it too light-weight/commercial pop...and that goes for some of the other tracks as well. (not to mention the later Buckinham-Nicks era, which is of almost no interest/relevance to me.)

Future Games
Sentimental Lady
The Ghost

I always try to figure out who is playing what guitar parts on the Future Games/Bare Trees albums. I feel like that is Danny Kirwan's trademark lead guitar during the intro to Future Games. I know Kirwan layers all the guitar on a lot of his songs, just like on his first two solo albums (and maybe even on a song like When You Say). It is too bad both of those amazing players are not available to ask.
