I'm sure this question has been posted many times which is probably why no one has replied you. But, you're new and us Addicted Ledgies should be supportive of your posts. It's a scary board at first and it feels sh*tty when no one replies you

Anyways...my favorite FM song (and favorite song of all time) is Sara. I love that song. It is the song I would take to a deserted island, the song I would listen to over and over again in a padded cell, and the song that gets me through a lot of hard times.

Common guys...post away

"Why" is my favorite Fleetwood Mac song. It's one of my favorite songs by anyone ever. My favorite non-Christine McVie Fleetwood Mac song is "Hypnotized".

It is?

For me, nothing in Fleetwood Mac's catalogue comes close to the transcendence of "Why." It's like a miniature symphony with a number of different movements, each of which comprises its own little slice of heaven. Christine's lyrics are lovely as is her vocal, the production is just perfect - not too sparse, not too busy, with plenty of room for all of the instruments to breathe and find their place - and of course, Bob Weston's intro is just a beautiful, beautiful bit of music.

Beyond that: "Rattlesnake Shake" from the second Boston Tea Party disc ranks pretty high with me as another little bit of transcendence, and "Go Your Own Way" is pop-rock studio perfection, as is "Dreams," and, well, nearly all of Rumours, of course.

If I start to name anymore, I think I'll run through half the catalogue before I stop.

I haven't listened to Heroes in a good long while, but there's some great stuff on there. "Silver Heels" has always been a favorite of mine, and Christine's songs are all quite nice, especially "Come A Little Bit Closer" and "Prove Your Love."

The Shape I'm In - Fleetwood Mac (I'm not sure which album it's from originally, but I have it on a disc called The Fleetwood Mac Collection)

Hmm. What line-up of the band is it?

The song's not on any official album, and I can't find anything in the Penguin discography or on Amazon called The Fleetwood Mac Collection. Actually, the only version of this song I've got is by The Band, from The Last Waltz.

Any of the experts know about a Mac recording of this song?

Intrigued...

Okay I guess I had one of those episodes of cerebral flatulence. That's what I get for trying to name blues era songs without looking at track listings. I was thinking that it was a Fleetwood Mac tune, but it's actually a Jeremy Spencer solo tune from The Fleetwood Mac Family Album.

There is one from The Fleetwood Mac Collection that I missed though - "Someone's Gonna Get Their Head Kicked In Tonite"

And a couple more from the Family Album:

Ram Jam city - Danny Kirwan (Can't believe I forgot this one, since I also have his collection of the same name)

Don't Say No - Billy Burnette ('Cause I really need another Billy song on my list. Sheesh, you'd think from this line up of tunes that I like him better than Lindsey, which really isn't the case!)

Aha! Now, if only somebody could figure out what that "I'm Coming To Stay" listing in the iTunes thread means...

I love this one too. Songs like this, "Teenage Darling," and "Buddy's Song" really make me wonder why so many folks don't seem to like Jeremy's rock&roll parody tunes.

Dreams or Go Your Own Way.

Both songs are perfection. As Chris put it, there was a parting of the ways musically among the band members (at least the three songwriters) after Rumours, so that album was much more of a unified, collaborative effort than Tusk, Mirage, Tango, or even the white album (which was more of a "getting to know you" album than anything). I think they were all synched up beautifully on Rumours which adds immensely to its charm. Everyone was on the same page musically even though they were at each other's throats personally---how ironic! :laugh:

And the precious fact that these were Lindsey's and Stevie's songs to one another is not lost on me either.

'The shape I'm in' was on "Jeremy Spencer" from 1970, Jeremy's first solo album, which was basically Fleetwood Mac, as (apart from Jeremy) Danny Kirwan, John McVie & Mick Fleetwood were the musicians on that LP (with Peter Green playing banjo on one song: 'String-a-long'). This record was to be released together with "Then Play On", the Fleetwood Mac album on which Jeremy did not play.
'The shape I'm in' was written by L. Cathy & O. Blackwell.
