Your favourite from each songwriter?

Peestie · #1 02-27-2007, 02:56 PM

What album is, in your opinion, the best group of songs from each individual songwriter? Not just the Rumours crew.

For example:
Even though I haven't heard all the Peter Green albums I'd pick Then Play On as the best of Green and probably Kirwan as well because I think that if any of those albums is better than this one then I'm seriously missing out until I can get it!

I'd say Stevie's best stuff would be on Rumours or Tusk. Most of her best work is from the 70's IMO, but I also really enjoyed her SYW stuff so I'd put it up there as well, maybe.

Chris is harder... She has a very consistent quality the whole way though. I love her Rumours stuff, Oh Daddy is a favourite of mine. Her Tusk stuff could be my favourite some days. Just love it. TITN has some amazing Chris songs. I think I could probably chose that as my favourite from her, but I'm not sure.

Lindsey's stuff I can't chose easily. I really like all his stuff off all the albums. If I was really forced to chose I think I might go for SYW with Tusk a close second. Though really it depends on what day it is.

So what about everyone else? Where do you think each songwriter shined brightest?

I would have asked what album you thought John and Mick gave the best performances on but I've yet to hear a bad one! Especially from John.

Peter: TPO - but not much of a choice there as it's the only proper album of self-penned songs that he did with the Mac.
Jeremy: Kiln House

Danny: Bare Trees, definitely on the top of his game here
Christine: Mirage, or, gasp, even Time.
Bob: Bare Trees has two big favourites on it, but only two. Heroes Are Hard To Find it is.
Dave: Penguin

Stevie: The White Album, two signature tunes and an obscure enough classic.
Lindsey: Tusk, followed by TITN and SYW.
Billy: BTM, if only for When The Sun Goes Down
Rick: BTM

Bekka & Dave: Time

Oh, and I'll most definitely prefer Mick's writing credit on Fighting For Madge to These Strange Times.

Lindsey Buckingham-Rumours or Tusk
Stevie Nicks-Tusk

Rick Vito-Behind The Mask (outtakes)

You're such an assh*le.

Chris - Mystery To Me/TITN
Lindsey - Tusk/SYW
Stevie - Tusk/Mirage

I plead the 5th on the other songwriting members, I don't feel familiar enough with their work to give an opinion.

Peter Green: English Rose, Then Play On
Danny Kirwan: English Rose, Future Games
Jeremy Spencer: Mr. Wonderful
Bob Welch: Mystery To Me, Heroes Are Hard To Find
Christine McVie: Penguin, Mystery To Me, Behind The Mask
Lindsey Buckingham: Say You Will
Stevie Nicks: Rumours
Billy Burnette: Behind The Mask
Rick Vito: Behind The Mask (SESSIONS)...his best work ("Got No Home" & "Intuition"), recorded for this album, didn't make the final cut...but "Stand On The Rock" did?!? I'd like to know who had the final decision on that one.
Dave Mason: Time (duh)...his two songs sounded as good as any of his solo tunes...and, I think, even better than the tunes on the couple of albums of his just prior to Time.
Bekka Bramlett: Time (duh)...she didn't write it, but "Winds Of Change" is one of my Top 10 Fleetwood Mac songs of all-time.
Mick Fleetwood: Well, after "Lizard People" & "These Strange Times", I would like to hear more from him.

I was just thinking about this...glad someone made a thread about it. BTW it would also be interesting to see what people thought were the worst for each songwriter (just a suggestion)

Ok I like a bit here and there on each album...uhhhhh overall

Bob Welch- Mystery To Me and Heroes
Danny- Bare Trees
Christine- Tusk, Tango and Heroes
Stevie- Rumours, Tusk, and Mirage
Lindsey- Tusk, SYW
Billy Burnette- I'll get back to you on this one

I didn't add some of the other's because they just did one album and I didn't add Peter or Jermery because I haven't really heard of all the stuff.
