Unpopular Fleetwood Mac opinions

I personally love LAW AND ORDER and think the visual art to be quite apt.

Yes, I do think the cover is in keeping with the That's How We Do It In L.A. idea. Surface gloss. Movie Star patina. Survey says, ding, ding, ding. There's a certain flash and furor masking what is going on underneath.

Law and Order is hands down my favorite LB album, and one of my all time favorite albums. It's like an good acid trip.

I'm so glad to see there are others who enjoy this song! It has always gotten so much hate here.

I'm not sure if this is unpopular or not, but I generally think Lindsey's solo material is better than his FM material.

I agree. Only Over You is almost the perfect Fleetwood Mac song. Christine is falling over backwards in love but the song also has a bluesy feel. The music is also outstanding. Lindsey plays a wicked guitar at the end and the groove is out of this world. Only Over You was buried on an extremely underrated album last song first side. Its a pure gem. It confuses me for someone to hate the song but like Fleetwood Mac. The song underscores everything right about Fleetwood Mac.

I wholeheartedly agree. Nothing on Mirage or Tango competes with Law and Order or Go Insane.

And his work on SYW, while full of substance, is still not as engaging to me as the three studio albums that followed it.

Same here. It's my second favorite LB album, after Out of the Cradle.

My unpopular Fleetwood Mac opinion is that I don't care for the 1975 white album -- with the exception of maybe three songs.

I don't think Carol Ann Harris was a bad person or just a Stevie replacement. I think she and Lindsey definitely shared something together and I do think he loved her and wasn't just trying to get back at Stevie.

I agree. I find that album to be completely boring. It's by far the FM album I listen to the least.

Not liking the White Album is grounds for being banned.
Don't you know the rules?

Forget Rumours, forget Tusk, forget the White Album, their best album to listen to is actually Mystery to Me since we're practically in 1973 right now.

Sugar Daddy is one of my all-time favorite Chris songs, while Don't Stop is probably one of my least favorites. Sugar Daddy is just one of those songs that makes me wanna dance every time I hear it. I love beat and lyrics (while silly) are fun. Don't Stop is one of my least favorites from Rumours and I would even put Oh Daddy above it.

It sounds dated, whereas Rumours and Tusk still sound fresh.

Amen. I will never understand the hate that Sugar Daddy gets. I love everything about it! It's perfekt!
