I now wish I could take back my vote, just to show my love for Bob. But, it's my job here, to hold Christine up to those other two, you know, uhhh, what's their names?!
Bob and Chris are my favorite two Mac members ever! Damn that Weston, for not keeping it in his pants! Hey Weston, you'd be a MILLIONAIRE now, if you'd just had some control! Was it worth it? F*$king up the best incarnation of FM?
How much is trailer park rent?
It was superb. And wasted.

"The most expensive affair I've ever had in me life."

I'm not sure if poor Bob can take all the blame for messing things up, there were a lot of 'issues'.....

Plus if he'd stayed, the band may have taken a totally different path. IMO There's a good chance none of them would be millionaires!

I've thought about that, too. Maybe they never would have been able to top or replicate Mystery to Me in any way. Maybe they were at their peak at that point. Even if Bob hadn't had the affair, wasn't Bob Welch going to leave the band anyway because he felt he couldn't do anything else with them, creatively speaking?

I'll bet if MTM had gotten wings, and the dough had started flowing in, I'll bet Bob would've stayed.

Cool Changing my answer...

Wow, so my fave pre-Rumours song on 02-24-2002 was Hypnotized. Well, it's now been almost 3 years since I answered this poll..and my answer has changed. My fave pre-Rumours song is Woman of a 1000 Years. I've heard more albums since then, and at that particular time, I think I only had MTM. I think Bare Trees/Child of Mine run a close (tied for) second.

I wub Danny.

Does that imply that Bob would do something he didn't particularly want to do just for the money?

Yeah, I thought about that when I brought this thread back up and I noticed the dates on it. I almost always have different favorite songs after three years or so. But I'll have to get back to y'all on "Why" in three years. I love that one so much that I can't imagine finding a pre-BN FM song that I really love more. But I guess we'll see.

Maybe just that he would've had a more tangible appreciation for all his hard work....?

Plus I think the legal battles really drained Bob. If Weston hadn't left and the tour was not cancelled....there would not have been a legal battle.

I agree. He was managing the band(fighting the legal troubles), plus he was writing about 2/3 of the material for the albums. He just got burned out. But, Bob Weston started the whole thing with his affair with Mick's wife. That sort of got the whole mess started.

I doubt that the MTM lineup would have had the massive success that Rumours brought. But, I think they could have been successful on a smaller scale.

I think you and Lis have a point. I wasn't even taking the craziness of the legal battles into consideration. And I'd also forogotten how Bob Welch was doing a great deal of the work for the albums as well.

Very true...I just couldn't let "Rattlesnake Shake" languish without any votes. I even quoted "Why" in a paper about myself and my teacher commented, "Well...Those words are so wonderful I'll have to find that song and listen to it. It's a good one to live by."

This is so hard but I'll say Green Manalishi is my favorite followed by Hypnotised, Oh Well, Bermuda Triangle, Why, Miles Away, Somebody, Bad Loser, Sands of Time, Ratlesnake Shake, Searching For Madge, For Your Love, Future Games, Angel, Proove Your Love, Homeward Bound, Coming Your Way, Believe Me, Keep On Going, Morning Rain Sometimes, Child Of Mine, Before the Begining, My Dream, Child of Mine, The Way I Feel and THEN Bare Trees
