lol... what's up with all these votes for the second time and when i see you again?

i don't know what i'd come up with...

but... i work in a bar and my boss threatened me last week after i played Bwana on our downloadable jukebox (yes, plays almost ANY song... do a little search, pay 50 cents to download it and 50 cents to play it) and said if i ever play another song like that i will be fired... and i was cut off from the jukebox for the night... hehehe but not before i got Gypsy queued.

Chris: One more night

[face of glass]

I'm with Johnny on this, or at least in the way that I don't dislike anything that the Rumours line-up has ever done.

Best:
Lindsey - It's impossible to choose accurately, really. There's about 50 tracks of his that I would rate VERY closely to each other and the rest ain't that far either. But I will pick up "You And I Part One" for this yet again. Just to tease Gerald a little of course. :lol: And if it's "You And I Part Two" he put into his "worst" list then I will repeat my earlier statement in that it's the closest thing to repeating "I Know I'm Not Wrong" that Lindsey has done. In the childlike atmosphere, I mean. What do you think of that, O Dutchman? ;)
The contenders for "YAIPt1" would be "Tango In The Night", "Red Rover", "Street Of Dreams", "Loving Cup", "That's How We Do It In LA",...

Stevie - "Gypsy", I guess. But with "Sara", "Beautiful Child", "Beauty And The Beast", "Nightbird", "I Can't Wait", "Rock A Little" (which I've recently developed an affection for) etc. being really close to it. Not to mention the songs that you're all sick of hearing. :)

Chris - "Oh Daddy". Followed by "Songbird", "All Over Again", "Sooner Or Later", "Wish You Were Here" (how dare you Joe ;)), "Little Lies", "I'd Rather Go Blind", "Spare Me A Little", "Brown Eyes", "Never Make Me Cry"...

Worst:

Lindsey - "Oh Diane", "Peacekeeper" and "Steal Your Heart Away". They're a bit too bland for me sometimes but I still likes 'em. And I love most of the LB ones that people usually choose as their least favourites. I'll take "Family Man", The Mirage songs, "Play In The Rain" and "I Must Go" over anything too self-important and serious any day.

Stevie - Within FM only the Tango songs (surprise!), "The Second Time" and "Silver Girl" and I still like them. Within her solo career only "Gate And Garden", "Imperial Hotel", "Desert Angel", "Rose Garden" and "Just Like A Woman" (none of which I like but do not hate that much either) qualify. (Surprised again?! ;))I'm not going to discuss some of the demos anyway; we're not supposed to be hearing those. ;)

Chris - "Show Me A Smile", "Warm Ways", "Everywhere" and "Do You Know". And a couple of tracks from her 1984 solo album because it sounds too uniform to me. The rest is fine with me. :)

Christine: Spare Me A Little Of Your Love
Lindsey: I'm So Afraid

I'm with JS...I don't HATE any songs from FM. There are probably few songs in the world I HATE and refuse to listen to. Actually, death metal stuff comes to mind for HATE. :laugh: Of course, they don't play it on the radio (thank GOD!).

[Merf]

but... i work in a bar and my boss threatened me last week after i played Bwana on our downloadable jukebox (yes, plays almost ANY song... do a little search, pay 50 cents to download it and 50 cents to play it) and said if i ever play another song like that i will be fired...

LB- murrow
CM- as long as you follow
SM- goodbye baby

the stinkers-

LB- make me a mask
CM-hollywood
(actually i'd rather choose the never ending nagging horror which is World Turning, but since it's CM & LB's combined blame, it gets only an honorary mention)
SN-either gypsy or say you will, i really can't decide.

[The Tower]

Best Christine: Why and Over & Over (tie)

[shackin'up]

"You And I Part One" for this yet again. Just to tease Gerald a little of course. :lol: And if it's "You And I Part Two" he put into his "worst" list then I will repeat my earlier statement in that it's the closest thing to repeating "I Know I'm Not Wrong" that Lindsey has done. In the childlike atmosphere, I mean. What do you think of that, O Dutchman? ;)


Oh Gaius, you finnish teaser. I agree on the childish-scale. But musically it is just boring. Or better put: it's b*lls-less slick drizzle. I meant part two. BUT I must say that I really like to change the vote because it is one of the best b*ll-less slick drizzle songs I know. Compared to Make me A Mask ( I forgot about that one! - suppression :laugh: ) it is a masterpiece. So not to please Fins, or give in on a teaser, I'm gonna edit my worst lindsey vote now.

:thumbsup:

[UT-BABY]

Best
Stevie: Storms, Gypsy, If You Ever Did Believe, Angel, Rhiannon, Landslide
Lindsey: GYOW, Miranda, Save Me A Place, Bleed To Love Her
Christine: Why, Over My Head, Say You Love Me

Worst
Stevie: Battle of the Dragon, Gate and Garden, All of Street Angel
Lindsey: Family Man, Time Bomb Town, Empire State
Christiine: anything on and after Mirage except for Isn't It Midnight

[face of glass]

Compared to Make me A Mask ( I forgot about that one! - suppression :laugh: )

Damnit, now you picked an even better one! :lol:

Seriously, I love that one and I think it's close to the isolationism of "That's All For Everyone" in a way. You still wanna go on with this or shall I compare his entire work to Tusk songs? ;) Wait a minute, that's a potential chance to criticize LB for others, I must cover it up. :o

And you probably know he has a tune called "Suppression", right? Written in the Rumours-era and the lyrics were sold at the It's Only Rock'n'Roll auction last year.

:laugh: a better one? how do you think it's possible for me to keep my respect for you? :shocked: ;) Seems like you are more appealed by the topics he writes about and their basic meaning than the musical and melodic choices he made. I adore almost all of his songs, not only the Tusksongs. I never knew he had a song called Suppression! Sounds interesting. Is there any mp3 floating around? Must be because he normally doesn't have a lyric first..... There's another title that pops up every now and then that I've never heard..forgot the title, though... (*)i think it is from the after OOTC-period but not included in the GOS-batch.

And if you want to compare anything with "that's all for everyone", than save your time, Gaius, that's his " God Only Knows " vocally and melodicly. You can write such a thing once in your life. Although I think he could be capable of doing it again if he and Stevie stretch out and start a Macalbum from startpoint zero, building up melody with Stevie's input next to his.

Thinking (dreaming) of that, he really got me :eek: :shocked: when Stevie said to him in the latest doc, while recording the backup vocals for "I am waiting", "maybe i can figure out something cool for the Oh Yeahs", he responded-obviously proud of his own ohyeahs and I agree-: you don't have to sing the Oh Yeahs! Well how can you reject such an offer! I would have thought: Let her figure something out and put that only on the last Oh Yeah of the song. I am sure she would have done something real good.

Sorry. I am starting a whole new topic here....

(*)edit: I forgot, but searched and found the title: On The Wrong Side. Never heard it. If anybody happens to have that one:
I'll be very thankful!

[CarneVaca]

Best:

Save Me a Place
Gypsy
Songbird


Worst:

Come
Welcome to the Room, Sara
Oh Daddy

[cliffdweller]

I'm going to limit myself to one song each. Otherwise, it'll just turn into a huge, ridiculous list. I take exception with Stevie because her stuff is just too amazing to only pick one song.


Best:
Stevie- Silver Springs or Sara
Lindsey- Red Rover
Christine- Songbird

Worst:
Stevie- Gate and Garden (solo)
Lindsey- Not That Funny
Christine- Everywhere

[chiliD]

Best:
LB- GYOW
CM- Why (followed closely by "Brown Eyes" & "Isn't It Midnight")
SN- Sisters Of The Moon

Worst:
LB- Not That Funny
CM- (can't really find one)
SN- The Second Time (!!!!!)

[cliffdweller]

BEST

Christine: Spare Me a Little of Your Love

I knew I'd forget one! Dammit! This is a great song.

[shackin'up]

Worst:
Come


I knew there was something we'd completely disagree about. You'll :eek: during the live-version.

[markolas]

Best:

Lindsey - Second Hand News, Never Going Back Again, and everything of his on Tusk, TITN, and SYW
Stevie - Silver Springs, Landslide, Sara, Gypsy
Christine - Songbird, Everywhere, Hold Me

Worst:

Lindsey - probably Oh Diane
Stevie - everything of hers on TITN except Seven Wonders; the rest of her FM stuff is pretty good...her solo work has a few turkeys, though. Gate and Garden from The Wild Heart, for instance.
Christine - Temporary One

[dissention]

Lindsey - probably Oh Diane

I have a soft spot for that sucker. Great song.

[snwriter]

BEST

Stevie--Sara or Sisters (depending on my mood)
Lindsey--GYOW or Tusk (...)
Christine--Say You Love Me

WORST (FM only)

Stevie--Smile at You (only on SYW) or Stand Back Live (only on the box set)
Lindsey-Not That Funny or Save Me a Place or Empire State
Christine-All Over Again

[rcb77]

Best:
LB - GYOW
SN - Beautiful Child, Silver Springs or GDW (depending on my mood)
CM - Say You Love Me, Oh Daddy or YMLF (again, depending....)

Worst:
LB - Empire State, Family Man
SN - Seven Wonders, Welcome to the Room Sara
CM - Only Over You, Sugar Daddy, Mystified

[markolas]

I have a soft spot for that sucker. Great song.

I only listed it because it's the only one of his songs that I've heard and didn't absolutely adore. Some of LB's songs that get pretty beaten up around here (Family Man, Caroline, Not That Funny, Come) are all songs that I absolutely love. I don't hate Oh Diane, it's just the only one I could think of that I could perhaps do without.

[markolas]

Oh, and I forgot to mention two other favorites from Christine (just because some people don't like them :)):

Honey Hi (love, love, love this song)
Brown Eyes

[ejof17]

BEST:

S- Beautiful Child
C- Over And Over
L- Go Your Own Way

WORST:

S-Paper Doll (Though I like it)
L- Oh Diane
C- Everywhere

[Vianna]

Best

Lindsey: Tango in the Night, Come, Street of Dreams from OOTC
Stevie: SOTM, Gold Dust Woman, Storms, Rhiannon
Christine: Brown Eyes, Come a Little Bit Closer, Over and Over

Worst:

Lindsey: GYOW ( I know, that's heresy!),Family Man, Caroline
Stevie: Everybody Finds Out, Seven Wonders, Welcome to the Room, Sara
Christine: Don't Stop, YMLF, Wish You Were Here
