If There Had Been an Album Between Mirage and Tango...

[sanders8323]

What songs would you include, only using songs from Christine's '84 album, Go Insane and Rock a Little. Title of the album as well.

Here's mine:

I still called it "Rock a Little:"

1) Got a Hold on Me
2) I Want You
3) Sister Honey
4) Slow Dancing
5) Ask Anybody
6) If I Were You
7) Loving Cup
8) Keeping Secrets
9) I Can't Wait
10) Go Insane
11) Who's Dreaming This Dream
12) Bang the Drum

I tried to keep a balance between the three singers and limited it to 12 songs. These were the songs I thought were the most "Mac like" and had a fair amount of harmonizing. I placed the songs in this order on my IPod and let it play. It hangs together really well actually.

You called in "Rock A Little" but didn't include the actual track on the record? Interesting.

I noticed that, too. However, there is not tracked called Mirage, or Rumours. So it's legal.

But those album titles were not based on song titles. There is a song called "Rock a Little". Now there is precedent for it, just not with FM. Led Zeppelin released House of the Holy the album and then the song was released on the next album. Queen released Sheer Heart Attack album and then the song a few albums later.

Rolling Stone: How did you come up with the album name?
Christine: Well we used a title of one of Shtevie's song's. The album was quite the rocker but we agreed that the song didn't fit quite well. So we sort of pillaged the title.

Since this is hypothetical anyway, I can make up whatever I want!

[Jondalar]

Go Insane
The Challenge
Stand Back
I want you
Sable on Blond
Ask Anybody
Got A Hold on Me
Time Bomb town
Talk to me
Holiday Road
If Anyone falls
Love will show us how
The Smile I live for
Beauty and the Beast

You, sir (assuming you are a sir), are a genius! That was my exact reasoning.

Wait isn't there a tune called, "Mystery To Me"? And it did not make the album?

I believe that song title came from the lyrics to the song "Emerald Eyes".
