Best Chris song from Mirage

[welcomechris]

Which is your favorite?

Hold Me may be my favorite Christine song period.Love the production on this song and great video as well.

Seriously, I love them all!! But if I must put them in order, it would be like:

- Love in Store
- Wish You Were Here
- Only Over You
- Hold Me

I like Hold Me, but I think Chris really shines in WYWH and OOY. The piano, the arrangements, Lindsey's guitar and the harmonies are really amazing and sound very good! I love to hear Lindsey and Stevie's vocals on Love in Store, and I don't want to repeat it all the time, but I think that WYWH is the best end for a FM album (from the Rumours era, of course!!)
Regards!!

I love them all too. After most of her Tusk songs, Mirage and Tango was a come back. I ended up voting for Love in Store because I like her opening the albums and great Stevie harmony. WYWH was a great way to close the album. Hold Me is good but I don't listen to it too often. It gets old kind of fast. Only Over You great vocals lovely song.

Hold Me is just a masterpiece. I love them all.

Hold Me is one of the best FM songs, period. I like all of her Mirage songs, though.

Love In Store is one of the most underrated Fleetwood Mac songs.
I love the melody, the chorus, the harmonies -- it's pure perfect Christine McVie pop.
It's also a fantastic kick-off to one of the best sequence of songs on any Fleetwood Mac album.
I love how all of the songs on side 1 of Mirage hang together.
It might not be their greatest albums, but wow - what a great side 1.

Can't Go Back and That's Alright are right up there on my list of favorite FM songs.

I wish it came off live better. With more musicians, they may be able to pull this off better.

Agreed. Great sequencing. I don't think FM has sequenced songs as well as they did with Mirage and Rumours since those albums. OOTC also has tremendous sequencing.

To me, "Hold Me" is Christine's best here. And one of her best overall. Here's a shining example of how Christine's very straightforward, no-frills, yet elegant, songwriting meeting with the production genius of Lindsey Buckingham. The sounds he extracts from his guitars on this song are nothing short of brilliant.

Definitely Love In Store. Although I like Hold Me, I believe it's one of her most repetitive songs repeating the chorus 42 times and it does indeed get old real fast

[Dreamz19]

I only like Hold Me and Only Over You. I really can't stand Love in Store and WYWH is just ok to me.

Like others have said, I adore all these songs... but Hold Me is in a class of it's own. I do find the remaining songs vastly underrated, though... even among Mac fans. Especially when it comes to Only Over You & Wish You Were Here. They're both gorgeous, lush ballads.
