yes, I know..simple question, but in light of the fact that the Ledge has a whole new bunch of Ledgies, plus, theyv'e just finished touring (and some of us have seen them for the first time) and also, coz of the reissues..I thought a quick count of who loves what,would be interesting. Perhaps a fellow Ledgie could throw in a poll (don't know how to myself) and we can all vote.
Add one up to Tusk for me, it's my fav of them all simply because it dared to be different :]

Right now I am listening to Mirage a lot, mainly because I just got it, but I think overall my favourite album is SYW just because it got me hooked.

Tusk. Their masterpiece.

Mystery To Me is my favorite. This album is the "Rumours" of the Bob Welch era. It's pretty much a perfect album from beginning to end.

Rumours is a strong second, followed by Tusk, the White Album, Heroes Are Hard To Find & Bare Trees.

Tusk. No question about it for me.
I love everything about that album.
Say You Will comes in second..I just really like the lyrics on their latest album. If two or three of Lindsey's GoS songs would have found their way onto SYW..it might just be my favorite album.

I can't go past Say You Will. It's a bit more fresh and 'alive' than the older ones to my ears.

You know, it is rather hard to not love the white fleetwood mac-Just when stevie and lindsey join...a lot of energy and freshness to that one for me...and then after they have been with the band for awhile TUSK...I have been listening to this band for 30 years through all the different "players",so it is very difficult to pick one. Sort of like, an amazing bunch of flowers...that when placed all together in a vase are beautiful and magical looking....it's hard to just pick one daisy out...Understand what I mean?? :cool:

Probably Tusk. I tend to think of the albums in terms of individual's best efforts. So for Stevie it's Tusk, Lindsey it's SYW (Rumours second) and Christine for Tango.

I'd have to say Tusk. Although, I just bought the Rumours reissue and have been listening to that, mostly. It really is a brilliant album. So, it's probably a tie between Tusk and Rumours right now.

Exactly!

But if I have to choose one, it's Tusk.

It's so difficult to pick now that I actually have a bunch of them. They're all good and very different from each other.

It took me three years to come to this conclusion, but "Tusk" is my favorite. At first I only enjoyed about half of it, but slowly over the years every song began to grow on me (equally from all singers). Once the reissue came out and I finally got into all the songs I hadn't before, that cemented it for me.

Originally it was "The Dance" because that is what got me into the whole band and I thought everything sounded absolutely perfect from start to finish. But now I listen to it and just find it rather tame compared to other versions now that I'm more Mac-scholared.

Yeah. I agree. For me, the songs on The Dance just doesn't do it for me anymore....especially The Chain and GYOW. Those two were so much better on this past tour.

Tusk. The record that confirmed their stature as artists, not just rock stars.

Stephanie
10-31-2004, 01:00 PM
Tough one, but I'd have to say Say You Will and the rumours reissues--particularly the bonus tracks. That version of Think About It is just great.

Oh, I still listen to The Dance, if only for Silver Springs and Landslide. Rhiannon occasionally, too.

Well, probably RumoursTusk.
I'll tell you one that i just got, and except for a few songs, is really irritating to me, is Mirage.
Say you will is PFG, though

Tusk is my favorite, but ti coul dvery easily be a 6 way tie between Tusk, Rumours, Say You Will, Fleetwood Mac, and Mystery to Me and HAHTF.

Am I the only one who's going to say Rumours?

It's that one, and then Mystery To Me. :)

Tusk. Without question. I listen to it far more than I do any other FM album. Rumours would be my second runner up.

Greatest album made by anyone, IMO. Flawless, catchy, perfection.

It's very difficult to choose between Rumours, Tusk and Tango, as I adore them all sooooooo much, but Rumours would be my #1 choice with a gun to my head.

Say You Will: so edgy, rich, actual, seductive, even in its contradictions that reflect the time we're living, IMO.Tusk as a close second.

This is tough but I would have to go with Rumours followed closely by Tusk.

Vianna

Tusk, no contest=:-)

In second place: Mirage and TITN

A lot of people mention Mystery to Me as an album they really like. I don't have this one. What's on it?

Mystery To Me was released in 1973. It's pretty much a Bob Welch/Christine McVie collaboration. It starts with "Emerald Eyes" & ends with "Why". I think it's a perfect album. It flows beautifully. There's no filler on this album anywhere. It has a sort of folk/soft rock feel to it. Also, Bob's "Hypnotized" is on the album as well. As I said before, it's the "Rumours" of the Bob Welch era.

Say You Will. It was Tusk, but Lindsey out did himself. I'm not keen on the fact that SYW has a shocking middle-aged person's album title, and comprises partially of two songs I despise (Silver Girl & SYW). Despite this and the fact that Tusk is my favourite FM song, I still prefer SYW.
ha, i don't like those songs either. Although, SYW has grown on me a *bit* but only cause stevie's voice is in it, which i am in love with. Yes, that's right, i don't just *love* it, i am in love with it. :laugh:

My fave is whichever I'm listening to at the moment...(my stock answer).

And, if pressed, I'll have to say these are RIGHT AT THIS INSTANT my faves:

2) English Rose
3) Then Play On
4) Tusk
5) (tie) Future Games/Bare Trees
6) Dog & Dustbin
7) Kiln House
8 ) Heroes Are Hard To Find
9) Time
10) Behind The Mask
