The best music from Chriistine
Do you think the best Christine songs were written during her "Quintela" era? Some times I do.
I don't underrate songs like Songbird or Hold me, in fact they are among my faves; but listening Everywhere, Skies the limit, As long as you follow.. I think she was well inspired for good music. But then during the Dance I guess she was already separated. And Temporary One wasn't one of her best gems. I don't own ITM, but have listened some songs, and still found something is missing. |

I'm not quite sure when Christine wrote her best songs. I suppose like everyone in Fleetwood Mac they were at their peak during the 1970's. So I guess I'd have to say that era. However, she's been incredibly consistent for 35 years now, far more than any other writer in Fleetwood Mac, in my opinion. I think her best songs of the 1990's were her 2 songs on the Chain Box Set & the Behind The Mask title track. I think many of her In The Meantime songs were her best since the 1980's & some compared very favorably with her best from the 1970's.

Christine has been incredibly consistent in terms of quality, so it's hard for me to say. For every Homeward Bound, there's a Nights In Estoril. For every Oh Daddy, there's a Behind the Mask, etc.

I can't really say for Christine. It's harder for me to pin her down than it is for the others. I think she is more consistent. There are some songs I like more than others from every era but I can't pick one time where she was much better than others and I also really can't think of a time when she was subpar. I think some people would say Mirage was a weak time for her but I would disagree.

I think Christine's strengths have always been her consistency and her ear for a fine pop/rock song.
As Mac Fan says she only keeps what she considers to be the best. I'd love to hear the ones that have "stayed on the shelf". Personally I think that her songs on Tango in the Night are her strongest which is probably why that is one of my favourite FM albums - Everywhere, Little Lies and (my favourite) Isn't it Midnight (who could ask for more?) But she's proved she's still got what it takes in terms of songwriting and she's not afraid to collaborate either. We don't appear to have heard much from Mr Quintela in the way of songwriting since their split do we? I wonder why that is? Gail |

I miss Christine. She's always been my "tranquilizer" in the midst of the frenzy that is Stevie & Lindsey! Quote:

Nope...mainly because he got the "NO SOUP FOR YOU!" from the Soup Nazi.
No Christine, no soup.

I would say that is hard to pin down. I love everything from "I'd Rather Go Blind" to "Friend"...
I will say that In The Meantime is a step down from her previous work. It is a tad bland in some areas. Something just seems missing to me. There are a few songs on that album which I love, but a most of the songs are just such filler material. Her voice is in great shape, but the music leaves a little to be desired and most of the lyrics don't have that signature "Christine hook".
