Lost FM Album '82-'87

[BlueGrass]

During the 5 year gap from Mirage to Tango I think the Mac could of put out another album, or 2 easily.

I was just thinking what a potential FM album would look like say if they released one '85ish. If you take the 3 solo albums from the three writers..."Go Insane," Chris's album and "Rock A Little" you could have an instant FM record. That is how TITN and SYW basically came out; as Lindsey solo LP's really.

Just for fun, lets say out of 12 songs, which would you include from the albums above as one album?

1 I Want You
2 Talk To Me
3 Love Will Show Us How
4 Rock A Little
5 Go Insane
6 Got A Hold On Me
7 I Sing For The Things
8 Loving Cup
9 The Challenge
10 The Smile That I Live For
11 Bang The Drum
12 Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You?

Unfortunatley there is a lot of New Wave 80s sounds throughout Stevie + Lindsey's songs. I think that Got A Hold On Me could of been a great single - Lindsey's already on it. This song could easily be turned into a classic FM tune.

What do you guys think, and which songs would you guys put on?

No Christine?

If I remember correctly, there were reports that "FM sessions" had been booked for '84 but as they never materialized that was that. They may have been "changed" to being "CM sessions" for CM's 1984 solo album, who knows though, but yeah, a FM album in '84 may have kept the momentum going frorm "Mirage" rather than TITN being thought of as "another dinosaur reforming" as it seemed to be in 1987.

No Christine? Au contraire, mon ami, au contraire. "Ask Anybody" & "I'm the One" from her '84 album, & "Too Much Is Not Enough" is an outtake from that album.

Only three? Maybe Chris needs one more. So I'll substitute "The Smile I Live For" for "Running Through the Garden." That gives Chris four tracks, Stevie four tracks & Lindsey four tracks. Poifect!

My final running order for this lost Fleetwood album:

1. What Has Rock & Roll Ever Done for You? (Stevie)
2. I Want You Back (Lindsey)
3. Go Insane (Lindsey)
4. Too Much Is Not Enough (Christine)
5. Ask Anybody (Christine)
6. I Must Go (Lindsey)
7. I'm the One (Christine)
8. I Sing for the Things That Money Can't Buy (Stevie)
9. The Smile I Live For (Christine)
10. D.W. Suite (Lindsey)
11. The Nightmare (Stevie)
12. Has Anyone Ever Written Anything for You? (Stevie)

Got a Hold on Me
Rock a Little
I Must Go
Imperial Hotel
Go Insane
Love Will Show us How
Running through the Garden
Slow Dancing
The Smile I Live For
Lady from the Mountain

I'm pretending nothing from The Wild Heart is up for grabs, as I love that album & including it would make my choices even more Stevie-heavy.
