Ever hear any oddball Mac songs on the radio?

[daniellaaarisen]

Sirius Radio plays the Rumours extended acoustic demo version of "Gold Dust Woman" like, twice a day-- I've heard it on that station at least 10 times and I rarely listen to it.

[skuncles]

the grocery store in my town has some sort of music service (it's not Sirius/XM but something along those lines) and they play a TON of Stevie and Fleetwood Mac. I have heard "Talk To Me" (I hear this a lot), "Reconsider Me". "As Long As You Follow", "Silver Springs", "Rooms On Fire", "Friend", "Trouble", "Paper Doll" and a few others. Whoever programs the thing obviously likes Stevie.
But perhaps the most odd thing I have ever heard is a Muzac (elevator music) version of "Races Are Run". I was walking thru the store (not the same one from above) and found myself singing along before I realized what I was hearing. For those that don't know what Muzac is, it's really cheesy mellow instrumental versions of songs that you used to only hear in doctor office waiting rooms or in an elevator (thus elevator music). It was big in the 70's and 80's.

Does The Corrs version of "Dreams" class as oddball... *gag*... ...?

As Long As You Follow was on Radio 2 yesterday!

I've heard "Frozen Love" from Buckingham Nicks twice now on XM.

On Sirius/XM, I've heard (in the last 12 months):

- Bleed to Love Her (SYW)
- Peacekeeper
- Seven Wonders
- Angel
- That's All For Everyone
- Dreams (outtakes version)
- Gold Dust Woman (acoustic version, at least 2 different versions)
- Crash Into Me (Stevie's cover)
- Free Fallin' (Stevie's cover)
- Brushes/NGBA (instrumental outtake)
- Think About Me
- That's Enough For Me

Probably more I can't think of.



Secret with Sirius/Xm is if your radio is programmable, when a FM/LB/SN/etc song comes on, bookmark the artist (or song). Then it'll beep everytime one of their songs/the songs are on. I heard "Go Insane" one day that way

Many years ago, when I lived in the Boston area, I recall hearing Isn't it Midnight, Oh Well and Fireflies on the local radio stations. Recently I heard As Long as You Follow in a retail store.

[WildHeart69]

slightly OT bc it's an LB song that was a single....but I love telling the story.

in college there was a bar we'd often go to on Wednesdays with a McDonalds accross the street that everyone would file over to at closing time. One night I was in line, p*ss drunk, and "Soul Drifter" comes on the radio and I yell across the room to my girlfriend who at the same time is yelling to me that its on and we proceeded to sing it (probably very loudly and very off key)

I heard "Twisted" (the Enchanted version) on XM's The Coffeehouse, and people tell me that a lot of BN tracks are on Deep Tracks.

I have heard a lot of SYW and Tusk songs at grocery stores and department stores in the past as well...

[Spikey]

I forgot, weirdest was when I heard "Love in Store" at some pet chain store, and I was like, hang on, isn't that.. ?

Incidentally, for the person who never hears Gypsy, it's on Sirius all the time, daily at least, and definitely at least every 2 days on Classic Rewind.

Peacekeeper (actually they play it a lot over here together with Dreams and Rhiannon), Everyday, Throw Down. I'm sure there's more, but I can't remember.

I have heard the extended "cleaning lady" Sara track (from the Tusk Special Edition) while walking through Boston's Logan Airport on three separate trips (over a span of about three years). I was almost disappointed that I didn't hear it when I was there a couple weeks ago.

I think that's pretty random.

[silvasprings]

I heard 'Welcome To the Room...Sara' from Tango in the night, the other day and was like huh? why are they playing this on the radio

I heard it on Coronation Street the other day. It was playing in the background in Audrey's Salon. Unreal.

I heard the Buckingham Nicks version of Crystal at a Taco Bell drive-thru a few months ago. I've heard Bare Trees and Child Of Mine on the radio too. I don't listen to radio often so its always a surprise when a Mac tune is playing, but it's even more of a surprise when it's the pre or post-Rumours era group.

In the past decade, I've heard almost every Christine FMac song (and most of her 1984 album), yes, including "Morning Rain", "Homeward Bound", etc, over the grocery store PA system. With the occasional "Gypsy" or "Stand Back", too. A couple of times each I've heard "Go Your Own Way" & "Big Love" (The Dance version).

I've heard "Crying In The Night" & "Frozen Love" from the BN album, too.
