. . . broken up after the Mirage Tour & then started making experimental snuff films for the international festival circuit.

. . . written social problem plays with Peter Green in the manner of Sean O'Casey.

. . . turned away from the mass/mob audience & done a club tour with Peter, Paul & Mary -- only acoustic guitars, acoustic basses & brushes.

No Mick drum solos, ever.

Tango In The Night should have just been Buckingham/McVie, no Stevie.

Some of those terrific Rick Vito outtakes should have been on Behind The Mask.

Bob Welch should have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. If Jeremy & Danny deserved to be inducted(and they did), then Bob should have been inducted too.

Fleetwood Mac should have ended once and for all at the conclusion of the Dance tour.

Fleetwood Mac should have....

- no regrets. They are among the last of a dying breed - that is, a successful band that originated as a group of artists - musicians and songwriters - who were doing what they loved, and not because record industry types were telling them to

- great pride when they look back over the past 30+ years

- appreciation for their fans who have stayed with them through the ups and downs

True True.....I want a full-on DRUM solo...not a drum vest solo.

Though -the drum vest was cool and fun and novel the first time I saw it....it does get old however - mostly because there doesn't seem to be a whole lot involved.

Anyway more Mick DRUM solos....that would be great :nod:

I'm all for bringing back the DRUM solo and nixing (hmm...Nicks-ing. LOL) the vesterbation. It was cool....the first time. After that, not so much, I got bored of it quickly. Perhaps he shouldn't have done it for so long, that may have helped.

The drum solos from back in the day, I say YAY to! Those were awesome!! I think they should each have a chance to shine in the spotlight, oh, and John, come out of the shadows, dude.

......wear different or slightly different outfits on each night of the tour. A few different accessories or something would make it interesting! (What will be different tonight? What will they have on?) If you see them in the exact same thing everytime they're on TV or on stage, etc., it is really boring.

......Lindsey speak "Off the Cuff" on stage instead of repeating the same exact things at every stop on the tour. A little less philosophy, and a little more about what the song is about or how he came to write it.

......let other members of the band speak to the audience. Mix it up with each member saying something, especially John.

......release all of their previously released videos on DVD and put out some other material on DVD (interviews, live shows, outtakes, backstage/behind the scenes, rehearsals, etc. from years before the Say You Will era).
.......put together and release remastered bootlegs/outtakes from all eras besides the stuff we got with the remastered Fleetwood Mac, Rumours, and Tusk CD sets.

.......put out a d@mn, wall calendar EVERY YEAR, not just one year!

.......(as several people have said before me) inducted Bob Welch into the Roll 'N Roll Hall of Fame with them as a member of Fleetwood Mac. He was definitely a big part of the band for several years.

stop playing stand back and play some other solo stuff
stop playing the same songs over and over again
stop playing Don't Stop
release Buckingham Nicks
remaster Behind the Mask with outakes (this is a great album)
Play a song from Time (haha that will never happen)

as often as repeated here, i'm ashamed they did not include Bob Welch into the Hall of fame, that is seriously wrong and I hope they had a hard time looking in the mirror after that decision was made, no matter whose decision it was

I'll take that over her Tango tracks, dear. I can only imagine if What Has Rock & Roll Ever Done For You was on it. *shudder*The only "problem" I have with "Welcome To The Room... Sara," is that, thematically, it doesn't fit the tone of the rest of the album. I quite like the song itself, but it would have been much better suited to one of Stevie's solo albums, IMO.

I love "Seven Wonders" and, of course, my love for "When I See You Again" knows no bounds... I think they fit the album perfectly, and I tend to feel that 12 songs of strictly Chris and Lindsey in that "glossy pop" style would've been a bit too much. Especially if "Ricky" (which I do love -- but I can see why it didn't make the cut) and "Special Kind Of Love" were included.

But, yes, I do see why many other fans hate Stevie's 'Tango' contributions. I also see why many people hate Lindsey's 'Tusk' contributions. Those particular songs can definitely be "jagged little pills," so to speak... especially in the context of a Fleetwood Mac album.

I don't think so. :) I redid Tango & burned a new CD. I took out the 3 Stevie songs & added "You And I, Part I", "Down Endless Street" & "Ricky". I just don't like her songs on the album although I love her & Lindsey's backing vocals on "Little Lies". A glossy pop album of 12 Buckingham/McVie songs sounds pretty darn good to me. :D I'm certainly glad they didn't do anything with "Special Kind Of Love". I think "What's Rock & Roll Ever Done For You" is awful. I think that song may be even worse than "When I See You Again" & "Welcome To The Room Sara...", if that's possible. ;)

I can't imagine Tango without Seven Wonders - I totally love that song.
I think you people will have to go on dreaming. There will never ever be a Buckingham McVie album, the closest you'll ever come to it is Tango (funnily enough my least favourite Rumours-era Mac album).

Dreaming is free...

I just think Stevie brings that album down a LOT. Everything is great until one of her doozies comes on and then I just can't get to the skip button fast enough. I can't even stand Seven Wonders, I think it's awful. Crap voice, crap lyrics. :laugh:

It's much stronger without her, in my opinion. I burned a copy without her and it's as smooth as butter. :nod:

That's exactly why it needed for thought and effort. :laugh: Nothing gels together, everything is just haphazardly thrown onto there. It's as if they had a bunch of songs, recorded them, and put them on an album. They had no regard for how it runs, no regard for theme, no ability to distinguish the good from the bad, and we just ended up with a behemoth of an album. If they had actually put some thought into it, it might have been one of their best records.

agreed, except for Tusk. That's perfection in directness AND production.
And I can imagine that could have been for GOS, too.

So I repeat, an almost live cut raw rock-album is what FM should have done. And it's not too late.

My view is: If they really had gone for the double-album with five more tracks, and therefore a totally different running order, it might have been one of their best records.

Even as an overproduced mastadont.

I can't even stand Seven Wonders, I think it's awful. Crap voice, crap lyrics.You push the rhetorical license to the limit, diss. I never know for certain where you stand. The "Seven Wonders" track is one of the best things Fleetwood Mac has ever done, from an engineering standpoint. How many other bands & their employees can get a mix like that out of themselves? every instrument is precisely where it needs to be, every vocal track (lead or backup) sounds as if it were either singing right in front of you or whispering in your ear. Nothing oversteps its sonic bounds, nothing saturates anything else. Same thing with not only "When I See You Again" but the rest of the album. It's immensely satisfying as a technical masterstroke, & hey that's enough for me ... yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ...

I don't care whether the lyrics are stupid or the melody is dull (except for "Welcome to the Room") or the vocal itself is disspirited or zonked as long as the track glistens like opals & emeralds. That's what's so good about Fleetwood Mac -- that & the fact that they all play their instruments in weird ways. I don't think the songs themselves are anything more than more-or-less good pop songs. Nothing throughout the whole catalog (except maybe "Before the Beginning") is as great a bare song as "Yesterdays" or "Easy Living" or "Lush Life" or even "Eleanor Rigby." But it's the tracks that are special, folks. It's all about the tracks.

Your mileage may vary & so on & so forth ....

I still think Stevie's voice is incredible on Seven Wonders. Love it, love it, love it :)Her vocal is a mad ride in a funhouse with day-glo paints everywhere. It's eye-popping. It's psychedelic amazing. I don't understand how people say they can love the '86 tour & not love that "Seven Wonders" vocal -- they're blood sibs.

At the time though Amber it sounded so modern and fresh, but nearly 20 years on, it just sounds too 80s. I don't think it's aged as well as other Mac albums.

Big Love, Seven Wonders and Everywhere still kick ass though. Thems some top tunes, if I do say so myself :)
I guess. I heard SW when it came out, and loved it....actually, come to think of it, the next time I heard Tango was only, like...1993, and I still couldn't believe the cheesiness of Big Love. And my kick ass songs from Tango are (besides SW) Isn't It Midnight and Caroline. The thing is, though, Stevie's songs sound the least cheesy 80's. :shrug: Even having been released in the 80's.

Seven Wonders is catchy, but her vocal is the pits. :eek: I never listen to her Tango stuff.

The verse after the first chorus, oh my word. She sounds like she's shredding her vocal chords. :eek:

To go back on topic, sorta...

...locked Chris in a cage so she couldn't leave. ;)
...hired me to play keyboards and sing Chris's backups (failing the cage option).
(In all seriousness, I can play her better than the other two keyboardists they brought.)

As for Tango in general... it IS an 80's album.
That's what people were doing back then!

Oh, and I am avaliable for hire anytime they need me. :)

Have front row tickets and meet and greet passes for all Ledgies! :lol:

Never, ever let Lindsey wear that white T-shirt again!

Ditto for Stevie's black granny sweater and dress.

Bob Welch should have been inducted into the Hall of Fame. If Jeremy & Danny deserved to be inducted(and they did), then Bob should have been inducted too.

Actually, I would have also included Billy and Rick. If we're being honest, Jeremy and Danny were only inducted because they were in Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. By that same logic, Billy and Rick were in the second most successful incarnation of Fleetwood Mac, having sold more albums internationally and having played in front of more people than any other non-Rumours Mac. Sure, THEY weren't the stars of the show, but neither were Danny or Jeremy.

I don't think so. :) I redid Tango & burned a new CD. I took out the 3 Stevie songs & added "You And I, Part I", "Down Endless Street" & "Ricky". I just don't like her songs on the album although I love her & Lindsey's backing vocals on "Little Lies". A glossy pop album of 12 Buckingham/McVie songs sounds pretty darn good to me. :D I'm certainly glad they didn't do anything with "Special Kind Of Love". I think "What's Rock & Roll Ever Done For You" is awful. I think that song may be even worse than "When I See You Again" & "Welcome To The Room Sara...", if that's possible. ;)

Really, the only Stevie song I don't like from "Tango" is WISYA. If I could redo the album, I'd replace that song with "Book Of Miracles" and I'd replace "Family Man" with "Down Endless Street."
