Okay, we all have our favorite songs. But what is the song you really dislike the most? I find I just can't stand "Not that funny" off of Tusk. It annoys me in so many ways. I think that one could easily been left off. What songs could you do without?

Amen to that!!! I also really dislike that song. It is just so "over-the-top" in my opinion. The version on the Mirage video is even worse. I realize that alot of LB fans really like this song and love the Mirage version, but he just gets a little too weird on this song for me!
I also dislike Red Rover. Again a little TOO weird.
I just know you LB fans are gonna flame me - LOL!

What's one man's trash....etc.
I just bought the Mirage album and this, so far, is my favorite song! It's so dreamy and seasick. I like the fragile vibe of this song very much and the spacey guitars and vocals.
I saw a couple for Warm Ways and Sugar Daddy too, and I'll agree with the snoozer Warm Ways (havent heard Sugar Daddy). I don't care for the studio version of Say You Love Me either. This is one reason I'm avoiding purchasing that "White Album" like the plague. If I dislike Christine's songs I probably won't care for the rest of it.
Gotta agree with Not That Funny. I actually really like the song but wish Lindsey would just sing it normally. It gets worse live.

I totally agree....Not that Funny is so unique...the production....how did he get that sound with the guitars during "dont blame me"....the song is very different sounding and very melodic.....crazy people...you are right.
Only over you....those harmonies at the end ...beautiful
Also, how can you not like "Mystified"...those harmonies are perfect and the song is very moody, tropical, lazy (on purpose) dont you get it...like youre baking in the sun , drinking, hearing beautiful moody harmonies....same for "Warm Ways" ....a great song ....oh well , to each his own ...oh and I loveeeeeeeee "honey Hi" ...sorry
By the way , go back and listen to Lindsey's solo in "Mystified"...not a note wasted....and the chord changes at the end of his solo really leave me in awe.
Ok now for what I don't like
Save me a Place
Oh Diane
When I see you again...not bad , but the "what's a matter baby" ugh
Seven Wonders...like the song , but wish they would have picked a better take on the vocal....not crazy about Stevies voice on this one...
Family Man..It's allright musically..but the "I am what I am" come on
turns out I pretty much like all of the Mac...not bad
ok one more
Eyes of the world - love the song but wish Lindsey left out "eyes...eyes" Lindsey does that alot....a good song kind of ruined by a really annoying Lindsey quirk....dont get me wrong....Lindsey is my hero

Exactly! Peoplealways lambast 'Family Man', but the verses to that song are great, and the chorus is pretty standard chorus fare. But Caroline? The 'cut the coin' lines are creative, but they're all but undecipherable. And the '"crazy, lazy" rhyming is surely Lindsey's most regrettable.

I have to agree with most of you - I rarely skip a song by Mac, but I'm not crazy about Big Love, Family Man, Save Me A Place, When I See You Again or Don't Stop. Oh Daddy bugs me too.

Ugh.
Here's my issue with this song. I LOVE the whole thing except for the "family man" bit. Couldn't he have just been something else?! "Walk down this road...." Gorgeous. Love it. And I actually love the "I am what I am...", but right after that is where he loses me.
Wow! A lot of everyone's picks have shocked me! Many of them are some of my faves, and regardless I just wouldn't have expected some of them. But that is not what this thread is about, so I won't ramble! Of the "Rumours era" band, gotta go with...

Awful. LOVE ya Linds, but NOT feelin' ya here! Why, oh why, that instead of Goodbye Angel?!

I'm not even going to deal with the lineups without Lindsey.
Here are my picks for worst:
Welcome to the Room... Sara (Starting with the punctuation of that title)
When I See You Again (It's a toss-up with the one above)
Silver Girl
Temporary One
Stuff I don't care for too much:
Running through the Garden (could have been a great song with a different arrangement)
Beautiful Child (Sorry, I don't see what everyone else sees in this five minutes of boredom)
Only Over You
One More Night
Songs that I like but everyone else seems to hate:
Oh Diane
Caroline
Sugar Daddy
Songs that are positively brilliant, but not everyone agrees:
Save Me a Place
Not that Funny (the instrumentation on the Tusk version is beyond cool)
I Know I'm Not Wrong

08-04-2003, 06:04 PM
Hmm... I like most of the songs by FM, but I have a few I don't care for...
Empire State~ Errgh...
Running Thru the Garden~ Freaky
Only Over You~ It's starting to sink in, but I can only take it in small doses.
Family Man~ just don't like it.
Welcome to the Room... Sara~ Just doesn't sit well with me.
Mystified~ I like it, but I skip over it because I can only take it in small doses.
Not That Funny~ Umm, yeah... I just think it sounds a bit cartoonish JMO.
The ones I like but not everyone seems to like:
Oh Daddy
Sugar Daddy
Oh Diane
Wish You Were Here
Come
That's Alright
Big Love (live)
I basically like all of Christine's and Stevie's songs, come to think of it. I love Linds and all, but some of his music bugs me a bit...

"Paper Doll" is HORRIBLE! And I really hate "Not Make Believe." The first verse makes me cringe. It completely ruins the whole song for me. Of Lindsey's, "Empire State" is the worst.
Some of Christine's stuff may be bland, but nothing offends me like the 3 songs above!

Yep, I'm afraid:
- the lyrics somehow ring true to me,
- I find Stevie's vocal to be her best in ages,
- Lindsey's vocals are chilling,
- the thumping bass drum makes it their most 'modern' song to date,
- and the guitar/percussion riffs blow the best of TITN out of the water. It is quite OOTC in many ways.

I must have missed the discussion of this song in an earlier thread. I surely don't mean to disparage you or anyone for liking NMB, but in the spirit of good natured discussion, I have to put my two cents in.
I DID listen to the song again to see if I was missing something, and I won't argue with your points about the vocals or the music. I can even understand how one could identify with the sentiment behind the lyrics. But COME ON, the lyrics themselves really are one cliche after another, strung together to make verses.
The worst offenders:
...It hurts my self-esteem, it hurts my everything
I am reeling, oh, it hurts my feelings
Sometimes it was heavenly
Sometimes it was too heavy
Sometimes it's just too much for me
It was the best of the times
It was the worst of times
And they both rushed by
Like a thief in the night
Taking no prisoners
Just like the first time
Adventures in paradise
Just like the first time...
:distress: It makes me wince all over again to read them! dissention, I totally agree that this is one of Stevie's all time worst songs!

I agree totally, Sorceress - read by themselves, the lyrics seem to have come off a mental 'production line' (<i>Ol' Mama's Pre-Packaged Song-Words</i>, perhaps? ;) lol). But I find that the impression of the song as a whole rises above the lyrics' often cliche nature.
I find two words describe how this song (and that's 'song' not 'lyrics' alone remember) strikes me:
Pithy and Sexy.
Stevie's voice hasn't sounded as sexy since the <i>Tusk</i> songs (IMO obviously).
And although the lyrics are cliched, they are not as self-indulgent almost every other song she writes these days. And the simmeringly melodious vocal execution rises above mere words on a paper. Like 'Sara' - you might look at the many of the <i>words</i> and go 'Hmm yeah ok' but that vocal arrangement and quality of tenor is one in a million. The song rises above the lyrics (eg 'When you build your house etc'). The instrumentation is equally pithy - the catchy guitar/percussion riffs are sparely used and explosively brief. And that thumping beat drives the song ina similar way to Sara.

NMB is okay. I think its best part is the way and when she sing the "and then there are those things . . . " part in that rather sexy voice she uses on this recording. Other than that and the cool bass and drum parts, the song to me sounds like a demo. Moreover and to beat a dead horse, I cannot believe they chose NMB over the brilliant Space Needle!!!!! :mad: :laugh:

:D Okay, okay. Pithy and sexy, huh? Because I love Stevie as I do, <i>suppose</i> I can try giving her the benefit of the doubt here. Let's try this out:
So Stevie's choices of words were very deliberate--she was stringing together her cliches on purpose. She was trying to convey as much emotion as economically as possible, so she chose words and phrases so familiar that they instantly evoke feelings we all understand. Hmm. I almost buy that! It's better than believing that the lyrics were written in a haze of brain-dead burnout.
I do agree that her vocals are well done--subtle, light, and yes, sexy. The bass drum and guitar riff in the chorus are effective too.
Hmgh. I guess I can't hate NMB as much as I thought I did.:laugh:

I'll try to keep it to one song per singer/songwriter:
-Bob Welch- "Forever" Dude, like, I can smell weed when I hear this.
-Christine- "Prove Your Love"- "Heroes" is arguably the worst FM album, and this is the worst song on this album (and there are plenty of bad songs to choose from).
-Rick Vito- "Stand on the Rock" Can you say 'session guitarist'?!
-Billy Burnette- "In the Back of My Mind"- Pink Floyd meets David Cassidy.
-Danny Kirwin- "When You Say" I can imagine this number was popular in the asylum.
-Lindsey- "Make Me a Mask"- Make me some earplugs too!
-Stevie- Whazzamattahbabee!!!!!
-And the worst group collaboration is: "For Your Love," which has absolutely no purpose whatsoever.
Without a doubt - Brown Eyes by Christine. Boring

But "These Strange Times" and "Lizard People" really have to top the bunch of crap. Mick should stay quiet behind his drum set... They are even worse than "Family Man". No, wait a minute... they are not. But they are still bad. :laugh:

Song of the moment - Seven Wonders
dontlookdown
08-07-2003, 12:20 PM
i must be a phreak -
because all those songs you list as the worst are some of my favorites.
i love Not That Funny - along with the rest of Tusk
That's Alright is probably one of my all time favorite Stevie songs.
I love Warm Ways and Sugar Daddy.
I love Red Rover and think it's one of the most brilliant recordings Lindsey has ever done.
However.....
I hate Don't Stop. It's the cheesiest cheapest piece of garbage. I hated it in 1976 and it still makes me wince. (I was and am a big Clinton supporter).
Wish You Were Here is pretty awful.
as is Silver Girl.
Running Through the Garden is embarrasing. Goodbye Baby was a waste and only added to the bloat of Say You Will. Removing those three tracks makes for a much better Say You Will. Seven Wonders has dreadful vocals. Welcome To The Room Sara is so self-centered and self indulgent and embarrasing in the lyric department.
Aside from that, I absolutely love this band and they can do know wrong - even with those mentioned clunkers.
That bonus Stevie track on the Limited edition about her self esteem hurting is also rather embarrasing. But guess what? I haven't been able to stop listening to Say You Will every day since I got it on April 15th. So I'm able to forgive the few misteps amongst this brilliant record

-Christine- "Prove Your Love"- "Heroes" is arguably the worst FM album, and this is the worst song on this album (and there are plenty of bad songs to choose from).
-Rick Vito- "Stand on the Rock" Can you say 'session guitarist'?!
-Billy Burnette- "In the Back of My Mind"- Pink Floyd meets David Cassidy.
-Danny Kirwin- "When You Say" I can imagine this number was popular in the asylum.
-Lindsey- "Make Me a Mask"- Make me some earplugs too!
-Stevie- Whazzamattahbabee!!!!!
-And the worst group collaboration is: "For Your Love," which has absolutely no purpose whatsoever.
First off, it is spelled: K-I-R-W-A-N
I'll just say, I think your ears have wax in 'em, but if that's how you hear these songs, I pity you. :)

Yeah this sucks too, but i stand by my orignal statement and wonder what John Shanks or even Sheryl Crow would have made of this song!

Sheryl must have liked it enough, she did sing backing vocals on it! :laugh:
