50 years: Don't Stop

[McLamb]

I like that this collection is more organized than "25 Years - The Chain". The tracks on this new set are in chronological order, and it'll be nice to hear the progression of the band.

I'd have liked to see more of the material from the 1971-74 period here, though I'm happy to have "Emerald Eyes" included. Also would have liked more from Behind The Mask and Time, though if there could only be one song from the latter, "I Do" represents it well.


I'm very happy to see "Fireflies" here, though the live version of "Never Going Back Again", is sure to be skipped by me. I'll check out "Sad Angel", as I've never heard it before.

All and all good picks for a 3D set. There is just too much great material in 50 years to put on 3 discs.

I do find it interesting that their 50 year retrospective is named for a song that is so clearly defined by the Rumours 5 lineup and we can argue, from the most definitive album this group has released. Given how they are a new band, and all that. It's curious that they not try for a little more "neutrality" or something that would have encompassed all iterations of FM

I just think it’s weird to name a career spanning retrospective after the song that told us all “don’t you look back.”

However, that song cemented their place in the history books.

Thanks Bill Clinton! LOL

Once Neil Finn tires of this Lindsey tribute gig, their next hired hand should be Bill Clinton.
- Bill and Stevie get along like a room on fire
- They can replace Bill's saxophone with an eigenharp
- Bill is always looking to raise a dime, and is not averse to venturing into pop culture territory to do so ("The President Is Missing" co-written with James Patterson)

LOL Joe!

So, it looks like there is no difference in the so-called deluxe edition edition [sic] then. Wonder what the extra money is for?

This is going on my Christmas list. I may not be willing to buy it with my own money, but that doesn't mean a family member can't! lol

It's either yet another instance of the band's slap-dash carelessness, or a slyly ironic send-up of the band's slap-dash carelessness. I'll leave it to you guys to decide.

Who chose the songs?! This is the worst collection ever.

- 71-74 deserves its own disc.

- 75-87 is missing a bunch of important songs ... no Gold Dust Woman? And the edit of Sara?! No thanks!

- 87-92 eh

- Glad Silver Springs from The Dance is finally represented in a collection. The single and music video were huge! Landslide would have been nice as well.

- nothing new or rare...

And you're surprised?

Bob Welch? WHO is that?

What about the Time lineup? It's a GOOD album!

How much is there that we haven't heard? They've repackaged this sh*t a dozen times, in hopes that a few idiots will repurchase the product.

These people are liars and thieves. The 2004 repackaging of White, Rumours, and Tusk was my last repackaging. It's too bad they can't give us new material. Oh wait, they did. Minus Old Goat Breath. The swan song.
