Heart breaking that folks are down on Mystified, which ranks in my top 5 FM songs ever. Like, WTF.

The worst Christine song is better than most Stevie or Lindsey tunes--so there.

And yet of the 150+ Fleetwood Mac songs I currently have on my iPod, Brown Eyes is the only song by her which I regularly listen to and enjoy. Different strokes for different folks.

Sugar Daddy or Oh Daddy. Weird titles too. I think they should have done a cover of Why and that should have been on one of the albums replacing either Oh Daddy or Sugar Daddy. I'm sure there's a couple Christine songs from Tusk I don't care for as well. Honey Hi comes to mind for some reason. I think Tango is the only album in which I have nothing negative to say about any of the Christine songs. All four of Christine's songs on Tango are great for that album.

I love Only Over You and I love Mystified.

Funny, I was going to put, other than Little Lies, her Tango songs as my least favorite. Other than those, probably Sugar Daddy and Honey Hi.

Sugar Daddy will ALWAYS make every greatest hits compilation I make. I LOVE that f*cking song! What is it that people can't get past? "I need a sugar daddy"? Is that IT? Because I LOVE the music, and couldn't give two sh*ts about the lyrics. Piano kicks in, followed by that B3......#heaven!!!! Have I mentioned that I LOVE SD????


Okay, I used to not care for Mystified or Only Over Ewe(I've always assumed it was about someone else in the band ), but I've learned to love them. My vote would have to be for.....

Warm Ways. It's just too damned sleepy for me, and sounds really dated.

Oh my I agree. But please include Warm Ways in a best of. That's one of her songs that absolutely is a match between form and content. Sleepy? It's called Warm Ways, demmit. What else should it be?


No. Little Lies. That is Fleetwood Macs Achy Breaky Heart. A wurm. About nothing. Blerghh.

Skies the Limit is just so weak: it really annoys me as an album opener (not that things got that much better on that one...) and Save Me is just too self-derivative for her. Temporary One really, really made me wonder if she had run out of ideas by 1997. Her Time songs were all better than those mentioned above.

I don't really think any of her songs from Future Games through to Tusk are duds, although Dissatisfied comes close, at least for me.

But for me Only over you just bores me rigid, so I'll go for that.

I really don't like criticising Chris but it had to be done...

I don't think the woman has any worst songs... everything she has released since joining FM is quality. That being said, the one song I really dislike is Don't Stop. It's a solid song, I just don't care for it aesthetically.

I don't hate it, but it's just too sleepy for me. I'm the same way about most music....gimme a damned beat! I would put Storms, Beautiful Child, etc... in the same category. Snoozefest!!!!

I'm tired of Little Lies, too. But it IS a pop gem, that's had many years of airplay, so it's not going away....here's an idea!!! Let them replace it with Sugar Daddy!!!

Okay, you got me on Skies the Limit, which I hate and is terrible. Lamest song ever.

But Temporary One is the catchiest new song on The Dance, and the rest you mention are pretty damn good (save her vocal on Morning Rain).
