View Full Version : What Mac are you listening to lately?
So all this talk of who listens to what eras of the bands, who likes what songs on what albums, and (in the Stevie forum) who is just burnt out these days, has me wondering: What Mac or Mac-related music is everyone listening to these days? And for that matter, what else is in heavy rotation in everyone's CD players and iPods?

And for that matter, what else is in heavy rotation in everyone's CD players and iPods?
To answer for myself: Before this week, I don't think I'd listened to any Mac-related music for at least a month or more. But since mp3s of Lindsey's Soundstage performance surfaced, I've been listening to those a lot, and to balance out the Lindsey with a little Stevie, I listened to Wild Heart the other day for the first time in a long time. Then the "Who shuns..." thread has got me listening to a lot of Peter Green-era stuff, specifically The Original Fleetwood Mac, The Pious Bird of Good Omen, and Blues Jam in Chicago.
Other than that, this week I've been listening to Jay-Z, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, and Super Furry Animals, with a little Elvis Costello, Bruce Springsteen and Tom Waits thrown in for good measure. And Wynton Marsalis's new live album, which is really great. I guess it's been an eclectic week, to say the least. Now I need to go pick up Neil Young's new record somewhere, and maybe Ryan Adams's as well.

At the moment it is basicly Lindsey's soundstage, Dougal Reed's coverrecord of Rumours, Gift Of screws. And Tusk. But Tusk is on or in my player since 1979. All other records are just passing by. Tusk's always been the structural food for my hifi.

I have been listening to Lindsey Soundstage and Fleetwood Mac Penguin. But I just put on Mirage so I am sure I will be listening to it a lot.

:o :o Ok, this kinda pains me to admit publicly, but I've been listening to solo Stevie concert boots lately (mainly because I'm just now catching up on a two-year backlog of CD burning).
The MOST recent:
Live At Jones Beach 1994
Cloaks & Daggers (Live in Chicago 1986)

Right now I'm really into the Behind the Mask songs Justin (takenbythesky) was so kind to e-mail me. (I don't yet have the album). I'm also listening to the mp3s from Lindsey's Soundstage, Lindsey's Tango in the Night songs, and Christine's In the Meantime album, too.
I've also had Imani Coppola, PJ Harvey, and Nico in heavy rotation.

I pretty much never listen to Fleetwood Mac anymore, though I did give Time a spin the other day. I've also listened to Timespace and my own compilation of Billy Burnette songs recently.
I hardly ever listen to my cd collection anymore, since I work from 50-70 hours a week and spend my time at home either asleep or getting ready for work, but when I do listen to music at home it's lately (as in for about 5 months now) been pretty much exclusively Walter Egan. (Though I did listen to a lot of Tom Petty music last month to get psyched for a concert). I've been a fan of Egan's for several years now, but it sort of has become an obsession ever since I started my website (which I mainly did to kill time, only now time seems to be in short supply).
At work I listen to a couple of cd compilations that I've made. One is a collection of songs with lyrics that I really love and the other is a collection of classic rock hits. Both of them have Fleetwood Mac songs on them (the lyrics one has "The Smile I Live For," "Illume," and "Someone's Gotta Change Your Mind." The other has "Rhiannon," "Go Your Own Way," and "Don't Stop") so I guess I do still listen to Mac regularly, but it's mostly just background noise.

Lately, I've been listening to boots of the last show of Stevie's White Winged Dove Tour...and the last show of the Enchanted Tour, in Bethel, NY.
Earlier in the month, it was live boots from the TITN and BTM tours. I haven't really been listening to official albums much, except I did play TISL a couple of times.
It doesn't look like it's on the radar screen, but I *really* would like a new solo album from Stevie, at least...and preferably from Lindsey, too.

I just recently went through a serious re-visitation of the "middle period" phase...
Kiln House
Future Games
Bare Trees
Penguin
Mystery To Me
Heroes Are Hard To Find
Such great albums. I then had to listen the 10 or so concerts I have from that era. I love hearing how the band evolved from Jeremey Spencer and Danny Kirwan to Bob Welch. Very grateful for the Madison Blues CDs, which pretty much covers the Kiln House era . Would be really nice if the subsequent eras had similar treatments

After watching Soundstage, I have been on a Gift of Screws kick. Fleetwood Mac wise, I have been listening to Nashville, TN--5/21/77, which is a two disc boot. It is terrific! :thumbsup:

None.
Havent played any Fleetwood Mac related music at all as of late (Excluding the DVD's/CD's I have burnt for others)...They have basically fell off my radar.
Who knows if/when that will (If ever) change :shrug:

Since my last post to this thread, I haven't really listened to any FMac related stuff.
I've been immersed in an "all things Clapton" for the past week or so. The Cream Reunion DVD/CD is coming out Tuesday!!!! :blob2:

Been listening to the dark stuff on Say You Will lately....you know Murrow, Come, etc.
Every Monday without fail I listen to The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac, CD # 1, in my car because the first song is Monday Morning. Yesterday in my car, I listened to Say You Will because for some reason, I got Peacekeeper in my head & I just had to listen to it. During the week in the car, I usually listen to Stevie Nicks' The Wild Heart because I just got it not too long ago. Sometimes I play the rest of the CDs at work, sometimes just in the car. I know, only Ledgies would understand why I listen to the Mac the way I do; I don't think anyone else can relate. :shrug: And since I seem to be Mac obsessed here lately, I have Stevie & Belle as my wallpaper on my computer at work! :laugh:

I've been listening to Gift Of Screws in the car for the last couple of days. I'd been wanting to hear SGCYM and Down On Rodeo.

Those are both good shows, IMO. Huge contrast.

Tusk, the entire album, over and over again. It's a disjointed mess and I love it! :thumbsup:
Well, that and it's the only Mac studio album I own.
I'm wavering between buying either Mystery To Me or Then Play On once I have some disposable income.
Oh yeah, first post! :wavey:

Now the question is: Why is Tusk the only studio album you own, and which of the live albums do you have?

Well, I've only been a real fan since this March and I've been pretty much broke lately. I'll buy some other albums once I get a chance.
I bought a copy of Tusk simply because nothing from it ever gets any airplay, and it got such mixed reviews. So I took a risk, and bought it. I'm glad I did. :) I also own VBOFM.
Guess I'll have to buy the two-disk Tusk, too. I didn't feel like dropping $25 on an album I wasn't sure about. Now I'm kicking myself in the ass for not buying the remaster in the first place! :rolleyes:

Tusk is a good one to start with. You definitely have to get "The Dance" and if you like Tusk, then you'll like Say You Will as well.

Fleetwood Mac-Rumours, Tusk (my "when in doubt" album)... and the other day for the 1st time in years, Tango in the Night
Stevie-Bella Donna, and "Fall From Grace" from TISL--best song on the album, IMHO, certainly the most jamming song...
Others... I can't get away from Green Day's American Idiot, it's one of the best albums I've heard, and a big surprise from a little band a lot of us wrote off as pop, very artistic musically. I did play Time by ELO this morning, I must be going through a concept album phase...

Not to kick a dead thread, but I just got back from a long hike with copies of both Mystery to Me ($12.99 at Barnes and Noble) and Bella Donna ($8.99 at Borders). :thumbsup:
The Sam Goody at our local mall wanted $15.99 for Bella Donna. No Freakin' way, I say! :mad: :rolleyes:

It blows my mind that anybody would shop at Sam Goody. The only reason I can think is because it's there in the mall and some people are in such a rush for whatever reason that they'll pay the exorbitant prices rather than stop off at Borders or B&N or someplace else on the way home. Be sure to post what you think about the albums when you give them a good listen, though!

I'm into say you will right now, the more I hear the record, the more I like it...
I'm waiting for the new Santana cd...
I finally heard Mark Knopfler's Shangri-La. :o ...
And I've listened to some samples of Mike Oldfield's new album, but ehm, it's not good, too much techno! :shocked:
There's also metal, but I'll leave that for private occasions :laugh:
