Whattya talkin' about, 25 minutes after my list and remark?

I used your list (thanks!) to cut it back to ten and in the end I discovered Brown Eyes was missing (So I made a top 11.) No prob, my two favs of Christines are the same.... :thumbsup:

Oh...did you say only 10? :confused: Then these are all tied for the Top 10. :laugh:

Yes! All "ten" of these, including everything on In the Meantime. I'm bad with numbers. Is Too Much is Not Enough too much of a stretch? And I'd add Keep on Going. She didn't write the lyrics, but she sang it. I love her version of Roll With Me Henry and pretty much forgot she covered I Can't Help Falling in Love with You (what album was that on?).

I'm glad to see Friend on many of the lists. That song sounds like it should have been on a Fleetwood Mac album.

Wow, when you look at a big list like that you really have to appreciate just how consistently good she is. Some a little stronger than others but I think I like just about all her output depending on my mood.

I'm not sure she's ever written anything less than 7 out of 10.

[pattyfan]

It's interesting that Don't Stop is probably her biggest hit, yet no one chose it. :)

Anyway...(and whittling it down to 10 is really hard)

Over and Over (I love both versions, but I love when Stevie and Lindsey sing "let me down again" on the live version, it sill gives me chills)

Hold Me

Is the general consensus here that In the Meantime is a good/great CD? I was so excited ( no pun intended) when it came out but I only listened to it one or two times. I just couldn't get into it at all. Maybe it's time for me to give another listen.

[McLamb]

Only 10? At this moment, they would be...

Honey Hi (from Tusk)
Morning Rain (from Future Games)
The Smile I Live For (from Christine McVie)
Remember Me (from Penguin)
Over & Over (from Tusk)
You Are (from In The Meantime)
Spare Me A Little Of Your Love (from Bare Trees)
Gone Into The Sun (from The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions)
Everywhere (from Tango In The Night)
Why (from Mystery To Me)

[gssmith]

What I love about Christine is that she has always been great.

Stevie was the best in the 70s to late 80s. What happened from 1990 til 2010? I don't really know. She was great on the Dance, but singing old songs. I loved in your dreams and hope this new one will be classic stevie.

Lindsey had a few moments in the 70s, but I prefer his work from The Dance on wards. In the 70s it seemed like his biggest talent was in helping Stevie with her songs. It's a shame his own songs didn't turn out as well.

Christine never really had a washed up moment. Sure there are songs better then others, but she is more consistent. Plus, she is more independent. Talented in other areas. She doesn't need a producer the same way Stevie does.

Is the general consensus here that In the Meantime is a good/great CD? I was so excited ( no pun intended) when it came out but I only listened to it one or two times. I just couldn't get into it at all. Maybe it's time for me to give another listen.

It's like most albums. Two or three great songs. Most are good to ok, 'I won't skip it.' And a few are like wtf? So as a whole? I'd give it 3.5/5 stars. I like it better then the 1985 album, much better.
I found the album sounded better when paired with the best 12 songs of say you will.

I played it a few times when it first came out and then barely touched it again for 9 years. A few months ago I dragged it out and put the CD in my car and played it over and over. Its not something I'd ever listen to at home but I appreciate it a lot in the car.
Most are very good songs. A few are really good; Northern Star, Friend, Sweet Revenge, Givin' it Back.
I'm currently liking 'So Sincere'. This quirky line in particular really stands out; 'Funny little white car with the broken light'. For some reason it sounds so unlike Christine. I wonder if there's someone in particular that has a funny little white car with a broken light.
All in all for me it's a good album- her best solo. I think the production could be a bit more exciting though. It's a bit....er, beige.

The girl he was having a fling with??? I mean after all, the whole album is cathartic for her..........................

Almost every song on 'In the Meantime' was co-written with another writer (not including the ones that Dan Perfect wrote by himself), so there is no way to know who wrote a particular lyric.

Or, is there some some reason to think that Chris wrote all of the lyrics, and that it was the music that was written (or contributed to) by the co-writers of the various songs?

I wish that when a song is co-written, there could be a way to let the fans know who wrote what parts of the song.

Yes it would be interesting to know what contributions each person made.

I'm curious now- Dan Perfect obviously has a good deal of talent. Has he ever done anything else of note musically? (either before or after?) I know he's a moderately successful artist but surely if he focused on his songwriting he could be getting hit singles for somebody.

Not gonna check if I've already answered this thread so will give it another go:

Over and Over (this song just takes me to the islands and always clears my head of bad thoughts, it is truly the opener that threw us for a loop in '79 and what a great loop it was)
Why (a missed opportunity for the current tour, her most epic early 70's adventure)
Say You Love Me (her best mac hit)
You Make Loving Fun (a Rumours stand out and a sweet, wonderful song)
Songbird (love it but it's not as good as Why)
Spare Me Little of Your Love (come on folks, should'a bin a hit in 72)
As Long as you Follow (truly sublime)
Friend ( my favourite modern solo song of hers)
Hold Me (better than Don't Stop, although I love that song too)
Honey Hi (short and boy is it sweet, best 3-part harmony of the fab 5)

You Make Loving Fun
Forgiveness
Crazy Bout You Baby (live-in-studio version from Madison Blues)

Oh boy...I see Crazy Bout You Baby...

I just had to go and dig out my Christine Perfect album;
On reflection Let Me Go, Close to Me, No Road Is The Right Road and I'm Too Far Gone To Turn Around as well as Crazy Bout You Baby could all make my top ten list depending upon my mood.
Jeez that album is seriously funky Huggy Bear music.
