I adored her during the Tango In The Night and Behind The Mask era. She was damn stunning and played wonderfully...how I love those live tracks of Isn't It Midnight.

Your point? Wait, it's on yer head!:lol: :lol:
Tango is too sterile for me(although I still like it).
Dance - not enough new material.

All of her era's were incredible, IMO...
I really felt her absence during the SAY YOU WILL shows that I saw.
The Mac is just not as "fab" as they could be without Christine.

I love Little Lies. Everywhere was never a big favorite, although I like it. I've always had issues with songs that I can't sing! "Oh, Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii....."
Everywhere- I love playing the bassline!

Everywhere was the first Mac song I heard. It's been one of my favourite songs since I was a little kid. :) But I know what you mean about not being able to sing the "oh Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" part.

mystery for me. . .

altho from a purely superficial standpoint, she was on fire during the tango days. she looked so damn good.

Although I <3 Temporary One!

and i have to say, i really love this song and it always seems that no one else does. i'm glad to finally see i'm not alone.

I love everything Christine, but The Dance is my favourite. I remember watching it on Vh1 and being mesmerized by her.

I'm serious. I have no preference. There's something from every era(Christine Perfect/Chicken Shack, 1970-1974, 1975-1987, 1988-1995 to The Dance to In The Meantime) that I love. I'm just as happy listening to those Chicken Shack records as her Fleetwood Mac records as her solo records. I don't love everything from each era. I don't particularly like her voice during the very, very early years. And her song writing was not as good as later on. But, I LOVE her blues piano from those years. I could listen to her play piano on those Chicken Shack records all day.

I agree. I think her singing got a lot better with the years and her songwriting improved a great deal too.

If I absolutely had to say I would say from about 1973 onwards.

Yes...I'd say specifically the Penguin album, as far as her singing goes.

'86-'95. Honorable mentions go to Oh Daddy and Over My Head.

'86-'95.That's my favorite Christine Era, too.

Even though he's not well regarded around here, Eddy Quintela really seemed to have brought the best out of Chris, IMO.

Well, ditto then on the estrogen!
I usually take Johnny Cash's songs DOWN a half step! Alot of them are in F(HEY, he's got something in common with ole what's her name!), and they're much easier to play(because of the ring of open strings) in E.
What's your regular high note? I can almost always hit A's, with ease. B's aren't so easy anymore(never were, actually).:rolleyes:

My sentiments exactly. It also depends on my mood what I want to hear, by any artist for that matter.

I totally agree :nod:. Her organ and the famous 3-part harmony is SORELY missed imo.

But in response to the topic at hand, Chris's best "era" was Tusk. I LOVE her contribution to that album. That's the Chris I want to hear from more often.
