I'm becoming convinced by the argument that her post-Rumours output should be represented by more than one song, and also by the idea that one song per solo album seems appropriate, so I'm voting to get rid of "Calumny." <sigh>

You cannot delete "Spare Me A Little" OR "Come A Little Bit Closer". These are both iconic and definitive pre-Buckingham/Nicks Fleetwood Mac songs. They are some of the best of the Bob Welch era. The album is not 'definitive" without them. "As Long As You Follow" just makes the cut. Plus, I love the harmony vocals on that.

On the other hand, "Love Shines", "Friend" and "Calumny" are somewhat lackluster. "Love Shines", from the Vito/Burnett era, just sounds cliché to me. So, I'm voting to drop it.

Yes, I do not like Love Shines. I would have voted for it, but I thought that As Long As You Follow had a better chance of actually being dropped, so I went for that one, but I don't think Love Shines belongs on a definitive anything. I'd take Heart of Stone to represent her contributions to the boxed set.

"Love Shines" is indeed kinda generic IMO but I voted for "As Long As You Follow" anyway because it's kinda a snoozer to me.

I like "Spare Me a Little" and "Come a Little Bit Closer" and "Friend" the most on this list.

FYI, the one song with the most votes will be gone. Poll closes tonight. Still need help with sequencing and liner notes.

I voted for Calumny. I don't feel In the Meantime warrants two songs in this collection. Poll closes in 1 hour.

Don't forget about liner notes and sequencing.

I vote to keep them all! And I think for a song to be voted off it needs 50% of the
vote!!

Funny, jwd....!

With 12 votes and almost 50%, Calumny is voted off the definitive Christine collection.

Northern Star is better than Friend and Calumny.

I half agree with you.
