Break Down of Mirage

[Hawkeye]

Well the first 3 were all were all 5-10 songs long in the Amazing categories. Mirage is the opposite for me:

Great: Straight Back and Gypsy

Really Good- That's Alright and Book of Love

Good- Love in Store and Can't Go Back

OK- Wish You Were Here, EOTW (any live version joins SB and Gypsy in the great category) Hold Me (ditto to EOTW YES I like it live much better) and Empire State

BAD- Oh Diane

Really Bad- Only Over You

[macfan 57]

Fantastic!!!-Hold Me, Wish You Were Here, Gypsy
Great-Love In Store, Straight Back
Good-Only Over You, That's Alright, Can't Go Back, Oh Diane
OK-Book Of Love
Bad-Eyes Of The World(live on the Mirage tour, it was great)
Horrible-Empire State

Amazing - Gypsy, Book Of Love, Wish You Were Here;
Very Good - Can't Go Back, That's Alright, Straight Back, Hold Me;

Good: Oh Diane, Eyes Of The World, Wish You Were Here

Okay: Book Of Love, Only Over You

Not A Favorite: Can't Go Back, Empire State

[Cristian]

Belonging to the Heaven of Pop: "Hold Me", "Gypsy", "Wish You Were Here", "Can't Go Back"

Very good songs: "Love In Store", "That's Alright", "Straight Back", "Eyes Of The World", "Book Of Love"

Sometimes like it, sometimes not: "Empire State"

Bad enough to belong to any other crap 80's group: "Only Over You" (whatever happened to you dear Christine, this is your worst IMHO), "Oh Diane"

Should have been on the album: "Goodbye Angel" (was it from these sessions anyway?) and "Cool Water" (sung by John! :D)


Song of the moment - Night Watch

[Sugar]

How come I always love the Christine songs everyone else hates? :laugh:
Well here goes...


Wahoo!: Love in Store, Book of Love, Gypsy, Only Over You, Hold Me, Straight Back
Eh: Wish You Were Here, Can't Go Back, That's Alright, Oh Diane
No, Thank You: Empire State, EOTW

[darklinensuit]

Should have been on the album: "Goodbye Angel" (was it from these sessions anyway?) and "Cool Water" (sung by John! :D)

AND the better version of Smile At You! :nod:

- Jake

[TISL]

GREAT: Gypsy, That's Alright, Hold Me
GOOD: Love In Store, Oh Diane, Wish You Were Here
FAIR: Straight Back, Eyes Of The World, Book Of Love, Can't Go Back
BAD: Empire State, Only Over You

[ShamHy89]

Repeat Worthy: Gypsy, That's Alright, Hold Me, Love In Store
Great: Book of Love, Wish You Were Here
Sometimes Skip: Straight Back, Empire State, Eyes Of The World, Can't Go Back
Skippers: Oh Diane, Only Over You

Overall, Mirage is still one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac albums and is far easier to listen to than Tango.

Fabulous - That's Alright, Gypsy, Hold Me, Straight Back
Good Songs - Love in Store, Book of Love, EOTW, WYWH, Can't Go Back

Crap - Oh Diane, Empire State

The Filler that Christine was talking about: Only Over You

[Mari]

Classic: Gypsy, Hold Me

Excellent: Eyes Of The World, Only Over You

Great: Love In Store, Wish You Were Here

Good: That's Allright, Straight Back, Oh Diane

Fillers: Can't Go Back, Empire State, Book Of Love

This is Christine's album:) The other two writers have their great moments, but generally they're underachieving a bit.

Mine hasn't changed at all. :wavey: That's Alright is the shizzzzz.

[jwd]

That's Alright is the shizzzzz.

:laugh: I'm not really sure what that means, but I'm guessing it's a good thing!

"I hope you find a love, your own designs of love, that's alright, that's alright". One of the best lines ever from Stevie. Beautiful and soooooo meaningful.

So I agree, "That's Alright" IS the shizzzzz! :laugh:

Move "Can't Go Back" up a half and I could go with this. :thumbsup:
