The song on Bare Trees is Homeward Bound and it just shows you how long she stuck it out before she packed her things and retired. All those years in FM, in the back of her mind, she would much rather have been making a roast dinner and doing the gardening. Yep, there were times towards the end of her time in the band where her songs were guilty of being a little too AC. I think maybe As Long As You Follow was the point where she plunged into that category, although I think it's a beautiful song and probably her last really good FM studio track. The AC thing has been used as a stick to beat her with by music snobs, but without her ear for a tune they just would not be where they are today.

For me Mystery to Me is easily her best. I like "Morning Rain", "Homeward Bound" and "Remember Me" a whole lot from her first three, but on MTM all her songs are great.
OTOH Mirage is easily her weakest and she's the weakest leg of the trio on that one, IMO. I agree that she's MVP or perhaps co-MVP of Tango (with Lindsey of course), I think you can make a case for that on one of the 90s albums too (of course I don't even remember them well enough to say which so my opinion of them probably means nothing). I used to be so bored with "Brown Eyes" but now I've fallen a little in love with it. Still if you show me a list of Christine's songs by album, Tusk wouldn't get me the most excited. They sound great within the album and have an important function there though. For second place it would be either Heroes ("Bad Loser" is pretty epic), the white album (because I actually like "Sugar Daddy"), or Rumours ("Oh Daddy" is a really unique Christine song). It's hard for me to pick. It's good the poll's closed. |

She seems very focused on the early stuff she did with Bob Welch and the 75 album.

I would hope she would be proud of her TITN material. It's some really good stuff.

Here is the Mojo article in this thread. I scanned the interview:
http://www.ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/sh...ad.php?t=51151 Christine said that Rumours is her favorite. The White Album is #2 and Mystery to Me is in distinct third place. Michele Last edited by michelej1; 06-17-2013 at 06:37 PM.. |

"Well I always had a bit of a penchant for Mystery To Me. I loved a lot of Bob Welch's songs, but I'm afraid it's a distinct third place to Rumours with the White album sitting at second place." Maybe it's a British turn of phrase, but to my ear "I loved a lot of Bob Welch's songs, but it's a distinct third place to Rumours" sounds ambiguous, like she meant Rumours is in third place.

Over and Over is her masterpiece.
Honey Hi! Think About Me! Brown Eyes! Never Forget! wow TUSK towers... but then there's Rumours and White... in which she mastered the pop song.

Over and Over on the LIve album has that amazing crescendo at the end. It's amazing!

I have a tossup between Tango and Rumours and Mirage..I do miss her in the band .
What gets me is those tunes of Christine's should of done better on the charts like Dreams did..

To me, when you place second or third TO anything that thing is in the number one position, whether it's a sports contest or beauty pageant. Anything that comes in "to it" is a runner up. Otherwise, she would have said, "Rumours comes in at distinct third place," if she meant that Mystery to Me was #1. Michele |

It's surprising nobody voted for "Time" whilst there was still time. I'm sure I would.
