And no, I won't listen to "Nights in Estoril" and change my mind. EVER.
Seriously? I think you may be the first person to ever say "Isn't it Midnight" sucks........

It sounds like a deodorant commercial.

Umm, okay

I didn't realise that deodorant commercials had there own 'sound', and how "Isn't it Midnight" fits into this 'sound' is confusing to say the least.......

TITN was my first album, when I was five years old. I don't remember what the commercial was that was on at the time, but there was one that had "Simply Irresistible"-esque chicks looking at the camera with Vogue faces with a song in the background that sounded like Isn't It Midnight. I've always associated them together.

Everytime I hear the song, I want to either dry my armpits off or watch something like Top Gun. It's not pleasant, either way.

Funny post. I voted for the Hangars...

Why can't we all get along? Why can't there be world peace? Seriously, no matter how "annoying" each faction might be, the truth is what makes FM great is its broad appeal--and the fact that such a variety of talent has flourished under that battle standard.

People say "I hate Chris." Well, then you hate the Mac--as a band. People say "I hate Stevie." Ditto. You can't separate these elements. And the band members themselves would never dream of doing this. So why do we?

Angry Mine's not up there

I wanted to vote for those Brunning-ites but they aren't up there. Those fanatics get on my LAST nerve. It's always Bob this and Bob that. If Bob hadn't played with them for those 5 minutes, they would have NEVER become the FM we all know and love. Bob saved the band from extinction...yada, yada, yada.

Sheesh, it never ends with those people.

I voted for Hangar-ons because I'm tired of listening to people bitch about them "not being good enough" or "not as good as they used to be" blah blah.



the only thing I don't understand is why so much hatred for the young fans. I've just always been thrilled that there are so many young people who like Fleetwood Mac. If only the young farts liked the Mac, their music may not have much longevity after we are gone

on edit-I'm a chiffonhead....but not the "lashing out" type but am not surprised to see which group is....losing....

The Greenies were a very close second. I'm sure one of them will be along shortly to tell me I should have picked them & that I have no taste.
so, for instance, saying I'd wash my face with her dirty undies...would that qualify?

I hate them. I wish they'd fetch up.

Hayley was cute when she was younger, but now I just see red because she hates "You Make Loving Fun."

I think she meant to say she hated YMLF from The Dance. I can't believe how many people like that version better than the Rumours version.

Funk a Little, people!
