![]() So I know a lot of Mac fans view these as the ugly ducklings/red headed step children of the Mac bloodline... but I've always really enjoyed these two albums. Christine's material in particular is fantastic in my opinion... Did You Ever Love Me, Remember Me, Dissatisfied, Come A Little Bit Closer, Prove Your Love... the list goes on and on. Some of her best material, in my opinion. I think Prove Your Love is perhaps Christine's most underrated song... LOVE that one. Almost charting into Stevie Nicks-style ethereal territory. I adore Bob's contributions to these two albums as well... he was really starting to get far out in his love of mysticism and philosophy... but I think he's just terrific! I think there's a plentitude of very high quality, very intelligent pop music on these two albums. They have their blemishes, yes, but they almost serve as character to me instead of detriment. I can't help it, I just plain enjoy these two albums... how about y'all?

![]() Ah yes the Derelict! Best damn song ever from Fleetwood Mac with maybe the exception of Rhiannon.
![]() EDIT: Interesting that you aren't showing any love for Mystery to Me |

![]() I love the Heroes Are Hard To Find album. Penguin has its good parts and bad. All of Christine's songs on Penguin are good. I think Heroes is the better album. My favorite Christine song of all time is 'Prove Your Love'.

Mick Fleetwood would've followed Peter Green into the Sun (except when it came to money), that's how good the original FM band was. Peter Green left at the worst possible time for the band's growth. They would've shared rock stardom with Led Zeppelin, The Who, the Rolling Stones, The Allmans, and The Dead. As long as Danny Kirwan was in the band, FM still had that "it". While Mick Fleetwood took the money route, and has had financial success beyond his dreams (ala ABBA), he didn't create "The Mick Fleetwood Blues Band" to make more cash. Mick Fleetwood misses Peter Green. Last edited by slipkid; 03-31-2010 at 12:17 AM.. Reason: Lindsey Buckingham, and Mark Knopfler should record together. |

![]() I'm surprised Heroes Are Hard To Find isn't well respected! I mean, that's really surprising to me!
![]() As for Penguin... well, I haven't heard it yet! ![]() ![]()

![]() I love the Pengun. And I love The Derelict! It's so heartfelt, I don't know why people don't like it. Now, I hate Roadrunner a lot, but I think The Derelict is a really great song.

![]() The Derelict and Roadrunner (great song, fine cover) do not sound like Welch och Rumours-era Mac, that's must be the reason most fans dislike them. I think they're great - but McVie and Welch are responsible for some great turds on this uninspired, very transitional album. Highlight is of course Greeny's playing on Nightwatch

![]() Saw this thread and just had to get in on it. These are two of my least favourite Mac albums. I would agree that Christine's material stands out above the rest. Bob Welch's stuff is not bad, but as I've said multiple times before (Chriskisn can vouch for me!!), I just cannot stand Roadrunner and The Derelict Those have to be 2 of the worst songs FM ever recorded, bar none!!!! They are just awful!!! Not in keeping with any of FM's previous material and don't really fit in the "transition period" either. Just terrible. I've heard other versions of Roadrunner and those have been good, but this one is just terrible.

![]() I agree wholeheartedly slipkid. Mick is pursuing the MFBB because of a love for that era of the band and a desire to recapture that time. Mick loves Peter and would probably cut off his right arm if he thought it would bring Peter back to play with him. At least that's how I see it. My personal dream is to have Peter play with Rick, and get John to sit in on bass, but that dream I'm afraid will remain so always, just a dream.
