But, if I must...
Fleetwood Mac: Say You Will (ha! that's one person!)

[hippilil86]

[macpai]

Fleetwood Mac-Tusk (although FM, Rumours and Tango are all favorites of mine out of all the albums in the world)
Lindsey Buckingham-Under the Skin (recently bypassing Out of the Cradle)
Stevie Nicks-Bella Donna
Christine McVie-Christine McVie

[cristochango]

I'm wonderin if the reason we all love tusk so much is because all the band members say its their favorite too haha

[Hawkeye]

No we all just have great taste. I don't love it because they do, it's just the greatest thing i've ever had the pleasure of listening to in my life.

At least they rated a mention unlike poor Bob Brunning and Dave Mason :lol:

[wildheart048]

Fleetwood Mac - Tusk (Mirage & Say You Will coming in close 2nd and third)
Stevie Nicks - The Wild Heart (Bella Donna, TOSOTM & TISL coming in close 2, 3 & 4)
Lindsey - Gift Of Screws (Law And Order coming in close 2nd)
Christine - The legendary Christine perfect Album

Honorable Mention:
Buckingham Nicks - Probably my favorite of them all....(or maybe second only to Tusk)

[BellaDonna93]

I really can't pick favoutites like this but if I have to it'll be like this:

Fleetwood Mac: Rumours
Stevie Nicks: The Wild Heart (OMG, it's too hard to pick one!!!!!!!! I would say all of her albums is my favourites)
Christine McVie: In The Meantime

[aleuzzi]

Ok, I'll play.

Since there have been many Fleetwood Macs, I'll pick my top four:
Then Play On
Kiln House
Fleetwood Mac (white album)
Tusk

Solo:
Lindsey: Out of the Cradle
Christine: In the Meantime
Stevie: The Wild Heart
Danny: Midnight in San Juan
Mick: The Visitor
Bob Welch: French Kiss
Peter: Into the Skies

[David]

My fave FM album is RUMOURS. Best songs, best ideas, best form, best vibe, best atmosphere of sybaritic California youth, blessed with pop talent.

The other FM albums have good moments here & there, sometimes related to an excellent song or a fine studio performance, vocal or instrumental.

The solo projects all leave me cold & baffled. A nonbeliever. "Bella Donna" is the worst, but the last three LB albums have also been relegated to the trashbin of my memory.

See I love rumours but I think that all those songs are over played and popular

[Erin]

FM: If I'm being honest with myself it's Rumours. David's sentiments echo my own. I love parts of Tusk but can't listen to it as a whole the way I still can with Rumours (despite the radio overplay) and the White Album.
Mick Fleetwood: Something Big (an overlooked album)
Christine McVie: Christine McVie
Stevie Nicks: The Wild Heart
Lindsey Buckingham: Out of the Cradle (one day I hope he will reincorporate Soul Drifter and Countdown into his solo set...I can dream!)

I don't have John's Gotta Band even though I spotted it at Montgomery Ward back in the day for $2.:o I've had the Buckingham Nicks mp3's for quite a long time, but finally got the actual LP. Love it even more on the turntable! Don't have anything solo from the other members.

[starshine]

Fmac: Tusk...I love it cause there is more songs on this LP (from each member)...plus its so different from Rumours/others Mirage (just wish we had a re-issue with this one with extras...the outtakes/UR songs are much better than the released version)
Stevie: The Wild Heart....awesome LP/BD next
Buck/Nicks lp....love it
Lindsey: Out Of The Cradle....I still think this is his best solo work....I still have to get GOS/and live yet...
the others I can't comment on at least not yet. Though I do have Bob Welch French Kiss on cd....
:D

[jbrownsjr]

Fleetwood Mac: Heroe Are Hard to Find
Lindsey Buckingham: Law and Order
Stevie Nicks: The Wild Heart
Christine McVie: In the Meantime

Chicken Shack: Forty Fingers Freshly Packed

Honorable Mention... Mirage, Go Insane, The Visitor, Ok Ken, Mystery to Me

Fleetwood Mac: Tusk, close second: Then Play On
Stevie: Bella Donna
Lindsey: Go Insane
Peter Green: The End of The Game

[michelej1]

Simply cheating.

Now, I will have to create a category for the BN album.

Michele

[AliceLover]

Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
Lindsey Buckingham - Out of the Cradle
Stevie Nicks - The Other Side of the Mirror
:)

[goldustsongbird]

Mac: Tusk and the White Album
Christine: Christine Perfect album
Lindsey: Gift of Screws or Out of the Cradle

[jbrownsjr]

hahah...

sometimes it's like they[re two different people.... :)

[Nico]

:eek: After reading this, I can not take anything you write seriously. I'm officially disturbed.

[mylittledemon]

this has probably been on here before.
but whats your favorite album.
Fleetwood or solo ones

It so hard for me to pick just one...

Fleetwood Mac: The Dance (or Rumours)
Stevie Nicks: Bella Donna (or Trouble in Shangri La)
Lindsey Buckingham: Out of The Cradle (or Under The Skin)

[Villavic]

.... Rumours

[chriskisn]

I don't have John's Gotta Band even though I spotted it at Montgomery Ward back in the day for $2.

Its worth obtaining, and isn't totally out of print yet, there are still copies floating around on various minor online retailers. Alternatively PM me...

[shackin'up]

:eek: After reading this, I can not take anything you write seriously. I'm officially disturbed.


No Nico, you're not. He is.

[mylittledemon]

"Bella Donna" is the worst, but the last three LB albums have also been relegated to the trashbin of my memory.

You just blew my mind.

[chriskisn]

The solo projects all leave me cold & baffled. A nonbeliever. "Bella Donna" is the worst, but the last three LB albums have also been relegated to the trashbin of my memory.

You know what, I don't agree about Bella Donna, but as for the last two LB albums I'm almost tempted to relegate them to the physical trashbin... :laugh: I had such high hopes for Lindsey after his work on Say You Will...

[TrueFaith77]

Fleetwood Mac: Rumours and Tusk (can't choose)
Lindsey Buckingham: Law & Order
Stevie Nicks: The Soundstage Sessions (I know this is cheating, but I really do think it's her best solo outing)
Christine McVie: Christine McVie
Danny Kirwan: Hello There Big Boy
Jeremy Spencer: Flee
Mick Fleetwood: The Visitor

[ILoveFM]

Fleetwood Mac: I adore Rumours, but Tusk is my favorite by just a hair.
Stevie Nicks: The Wild Heart! Bella Donna is a close second.
Lindsey Buckingham: Law and Order! Go Insane was also a pretty close second.

[estranged4life]

(Forgive me, I am trying to humor myself awake)

Pre-B/N era Fleetwood Mac - Bare Trees
B/N era Fleetwood Mac - Tusk
Stevie Nicks - The Other Side of the Mirror
Lindsey Buckingham - Out of the Cradle

[chiliD]

:I'm officially disturbed.


"Officially"?? And, before it was only just up for debate?? :shrug:

God forbid someone should shake off the lemming-like behavior of Fleetwood Mac fandom and voice a unique opinion around here.

[David]

Fleetwood Mac: Heroe Are Hard to FindSee now I love that album. It creates an atmosphere of musicians gathering in the placid countryside (much like "Future Games"), smoking weed, & being hip.

Lindsey Buckingham: Law and OrderI like that one, too. It's like watching episodes of "Gunsmoke" while you're in bed with the flu.

[trackaghost]

:rolleyes: I apologise once again for not liking the Time album, okay?

[trackaghost]

No Nico, you're not. He is.

I don't know why but I like the last two Lindsey albums more knowing some people react so badly to them :laugh:

[jbrownsjr]

Yes on both... Incidentally Heroes was my first.... thanks to Uncle George...

[jbrownsjr]

:rolleyes: I apologise once again for not liking the Time album, okay?

Apology accepted.... well by me anyway...

[sjpdg]

Poor Dave W & Bob W. Just can't get you to like them can we? One day I will carry out my threat to tie you to a chair and make you listen to Savoy Brown & Walking Underwater until you admit Dave W is fantastic!!!!

At least they rated a mention unlike poor Bob Brunning and Dave Mason :lol:

Bob Brunning?? Are you serious?? The man's a leach!! He played on one Mac album and a few gigs before John woke up and got on board. I haven't heard any other material he's ever played on to be 100% honest but he turned me off years ago with his constant publishing of one book after another about the Mac. He's tried to make a career out of writing about the Mac and having read only one of his books, I had to have a stiff drink and try to forget I'd ever tortured myself in such a way. The man's writing is so poor that I personally believe reading Tolstoy's "War and Peace" in the original Russian backwards in the bathroom mirro might be easier (and I can't read Russian!!:laugh:)

Dave only had the "Time" album with Mac and I honestly just forgot about him! My bad!:laugh:

I just can't get into Dave and Bob W. Just can't. I've honestly tried. If you truly believe they are that good, then I will committ to keep trying. You never know, I may eventually change my mind, but it could take considerable time.

[chriskisn]

I haven't heard any other material he's ever played on to be 100% honest

Actually given that Brunning doesn't do a lot of vocals on his Tramp, Brunning Sunflower and De Le Blues Band albums they are very enjoyable. Certainly not in the FM league, but enjoyable anyway. (Think of going to the pub to see a blues band - that is Brunning & Co).

Dave only had the "Time" album with Mac and I honestly just forgot about him! My bad!:laugh:

Don't worry you probably aren't the only person. He's had 40 years of albums and I only like one or two of them (26 Letters, 12 Notes was excellent though).

I just can't get into Dave and Bob W. Just can't. I've honestly tried. If you truly believe they are that good, then I will committ to keep trying. You never know, I may eventually change my mind, but it could take considerable time.

Lets be honest, Weston not so much so, but Dave W is great, you seriously have to listen to Walking Underwater or Mostly Sonny. Feel free to PM me and I'll upload you a copy if you can't bring yourself to actually purchase them :laugh:

[underwaterthing]

Fleetwood Mac - Tusk
Stevie Nicks - Bella Donna (or Wild Heart)
Christine McVie - Christine Perfect (simply because of I'm On My Way; I can listen to that song on repeat all day and never tire of it)

[trackaghost]

Apology accepted.... well by me anyway...

Thanks :D Does it help that I like Christine's songs on that album if nothing else?

[jbrownsjr]

Thanks :D Does it help that I like Christine's songs on that album if nothing else?

You're forgiven and back in my graces like a ghost thru the fog...

[GypsyJas]

Fleetwood Mac: I love Rumours, Tusk and FM Live all equally...I cannot choose between any of them...and that's why the Mac is my end-all-and-be-all in Rock N Roll....and Say You Will is often undervalued, IMHO.
Stevie Nicks:Bella Donna, hands down. That is my favorite era of Stevie's ever-changing voice, and it's also before she got way too sloppy with drugs.
Lindsey Buckingham: Probably Under the Skin, although there are gems on GOS, too...
Christine McVie: I dunno about solo album, but I always loved her work on Tusk more than any other album she worked on.
:D

[Peestie]

Fleetwood Mac - Tusk
Lindsey Buckingham - Hmmm... It might well be GOS at the minute.
Stevie Nicks - I guess I should really buy at least one of her albums :laugh:

[macpai]

Its worth obtaining, and isn't totally out of print yet, there are still copies floating around on various minor online retailers. Alternatively PM me...

I really like Gotta Band.

[Nico]

Hey, I was being sarcastic. And so those who don't agree are supposed to sit back and not say anything unless it fits your "unique" criteria? I'm very sorry if I offended you, but I loved all of LB's last three albums vehemently whether that's considered part of the status quo or not- and I'm going to defend them, or at least voice my opinion.

I understand you have your own preferences in terms of FM, and I completely respect that, but it was nothing but a quip and I'm already labeled.

[iamnotafraid]

Fleetwood Mac: Tusk by a Landslide (get it?).

Stevie : WILDHEART.

Lindsey: c..a..n..'t...choose!

Miley: ?

[mylittledemon]

:rolleyes: I apologise once again for not liking the Time album, okay?

I dont like it either...

[Sanne2]

- Fleetwood Mac: Tusk, a close 2nd being TITN, I think it's the first time that album is mentioned here but I just really like it.
- Stevie Nicks: a tie between Bella Donna and RAL, I know they are far apart, I just really love them both for different reasons.
- Lindsey Buckingham: Out Of The Cradle

[DigYourGrave]

I dont like Fleetwood Mac.
You're on the wrong Ledge.

I really like Gotta Band.

I thought it was great also. Lola Thomas has a great voice and really nailed all the material on that disc. I like listening to it. John's bass really comes through but isn't overpowering. It's his band but he's not drowning us in bass. Too bad it was just a "one off" venture.:(

[David]

I dont like it (Time) either...Why not, demon? I've always liked your aesthetic views.

[shackin'up]

And once labeled by the chilimaster you'll be stigmatized forever over here!

whoa behind the mask

[TrueFaith77]

I'm surprised at "I'm Not Me" over "The Visitor"...

[jbrownsjr]

I'm surprised at "I'm Not Me" over "The Visitor"...

I like both... but I'm Not Me had some really cool tunes on it... pop wise...

Visitor is genious in a very worldly way.....

[David]

Because he's a lemming, apparently :)
Do you like it, David?I like it a little bit. It has clean engineering, instruments & voices are where they should be in the mix, it has more sonic variety than many more esteemed albums at the time (like Nirvana & Pearl Jam), & it has a certain low-key charm. On the drawback side, it contains no wit, no great songwriting (& even a couple of very poor songs), no aural idiosyncrasy (& hence no marked personality), & no adventure, & it seems to view itself self-consciously as filler. It lacks the confidence that suffuses a great conceptual & executive feat like "Rumours."

I certainly like it better than a few other Mac albums, including its immediate predecessor.

[iamnotafraid]

The only song I liked off of TIME is "Winds Of Change".
BTM......p.u.

[SNLB]

Fleetwood Mac: Tusk
Stevie Nicks: Bella Donna
Lindsey Buckingham: Out Of The Cradle

That is some goooooooood music!!!

[chriskisn]

whoa behind the mask

Certainly one of their better albums...

[jbrownsjr]

Certainly one of their better albums...

It's not my favorite.... but I love how it sounds like a band recording...

I wish Sooner Or Later was on it... and I wish Mick would have done more with the solo outro of Sooner Or Later.... i.e. amp'd it up to a jazzy frenzy.... leaving the listener going... wow!!!

[David]

It's not my favorite.... but I love how it sounds like a band recording...

I wish Sooner Or Later was on it...No, you don't. It's better that Richard Dashut (he of the sharpshootin' ear) got his hands on it. In fact, it would have been much better if Dashut had got his hands on "Skies the Limit," "Save Me," & "Do You Know."

[mylittledemon]

Why not, demon? I've always liked your aesthetic views.

Well I hate comparing it to a movie, but its the analogy that popped into my head. Like a really good album, you keep returning to it, right? If you really like a movie it remains timeless to you (no pun intended! HA)

TIME, to me, is something that seemed like it should've been greater considering the players involved. I like several of Chris' tunes but even at that point, to me, she seems ready to hang up the towel. I have never been able to appreciate Bekka Bramlett. I just don't like her voice. And I do NOT compare her to Stevie Nicks.

I think the band was more more balanced in 87-91 (with Rick Vito and Billy) alongside Stevie and Chris.

As for track #13, I find it particularly indulgent and a bit over the top. (as if Lindsey's now 4 minute guitar solo on ISA isnt? *Gasp!* HERESY!) HA....But at the end of the day if you're familiar with Mick at all, then there's no surprise there.

Blow By Blow, to me is one of Mason's worst. Typically I find him a great lead guitarist and his voice ain't half bad either but I prefer his work with Traffic. To me, he doesn't quite fit in with Fleetwood Mac. Although...in the balancing act that IS this band, I think Mason might be better suited alongside some guy like Vito or Buckingham. That would interest me.

I suppose in the end, as much as I'm trying to remain indifferent, I am still a slave to that "classic" Rumours line up of Fleetwood Mac. As far as the album goes, if it didn't have Christine McVie (who's voice is still superb) among the ranks, I don't know if I would know what I was listening to.

[aleuzzi]

Bob Brunning?? Are you serious?? The man's a leach!!

I have used those exact words before. He wouldn't bug me if his book on the Mac weren't so irresponsibly written.

[jbrownsjr]

No, you don't. It's better that Richard Dashut (he of the sharpshootin' ear) got his hands on it. In fact, it would have been much better if Dashut had got his hands on "Skies the Limit," "Save Me," & "Do You Know."

ok i'll give you that.... those productions are BTM are terrible

I don't think you've a slave to it, it's simply what you prefer.

Personally I really resent being called "a lemming" because I don't enjoy Dave Mason's and Bekka's contributions to Fleetwood Mac. It's not in comparison to Stevie and Christine or whoever, even when you take previous members out of the equation it just does nothing for me. If, say, Shania Twain joined the band tomorrow I most likely wouldn't enjoy her version of Fleetwood Mac either and it isn't because she isn't Stevie Nicks, it's because I don't like Shania Twain.

To me it isn't about being a lemming or not. When I say to someone that I like Fleetwood Mac, I mean the whole band not just five out of sixteen. I started in the same place as many people, liking the Rumours lineup. I started to dig around though, backwards and eventually forwards and appreciated it for what it was.

I always think that to truly appreciate the band, you need to experience everything pretty much from John Mayall onwards. Only my opinion though...

It is weird because when I listen to the Eagles I don't think to myself "Oh Bernie Leadon isn't here" etc. When I listen to a band like the Eagles I am listening to music by the Eagles not the individual members. Perhaps die-hard Eagles fans think differently.

Amen, brother.

[David]

Amen, brother.I never did care for their brand of laid-back strophism. Strophoscopy. Strophostomy. Strophonectomy.

er . . . songwriting.

I can't think of a single Eagles song that I adore. They're always grouped with Fleetwood Mac, with whom they share only the commercial aspect of gazillions sold. But in terms of artistic approach, they are Fleetwood Mac's antithesis.

Nightingale could have been taken direct from a FM album (Christine could have done a great version of it). Train Leaves Here This Morning could probably have fitted into Kiln House too...

The trick with the Eagles is to ignore the radio hits (as much as I like some of them)...

Hmm...I think we need a "Eagles songs that could have been covered by FM" thread????

[DigYourGrave]

As far as the album goes, if it didn't have Christine McVie (who's voice is still superb) among the ranks, I don't know if I would know what I was listening to.
