Unexpected FM

[elle]

almost not unexpected at this point anymore, but still always makes my morning:

someone on Morning Joe (msnbc) must be a fan of FM-songs sang by Lindsey - for a while they've been using Second Hand News almost regularly (as a background to go to a break), that was replaced by Don't Stop for a period of time, last week SHN was back, and today it was Go Your Own Way.:thumbsup:

[bluefox4000]

I'm convinced my neighbor Loves Tusk. Today he played Walk a thin Line. But he ONLY plays FM songs from this album. Weird. I wonder if he knows what a vast discography they have:lol: I'll have to ask.

:lol:are there songs that are not FM on Tusk album?:p

if you meant to say only LB songs on Tusk, then i'd have to ask whether we are neighbors...:D

[michelej1]

if you meant to say only LB songs on Tusk, then i'd have to ask whether we are neighbors...:D

You aren't neighbors if you play Lindsey songs from FM albums other than Tusk. If you ever play cut from TITN, for instance, then you don't live next door.:laugh:

[MacShadowsBall]

Just a few days ago during a storm and power outage, "Don't Stop" came on the radio! A nice feel good moment during a not so good night. :)

[ButterCookie]

Trouble was on Radio 2 today!

[cristochango]

I heard the rumours version of Silver Springs on the radio yesterday :)

[McTrouble]

Trouble was on Radio 2 today!

Doesn't surprise me - I am always championing Radio 2 as they love FM/SN/LB! :)

[ButterCookie]

Doesn't surprise me - I am always championing Radio 2 as they love FM/SN/LB! :)

I got them to play Oh Diane as a request once. I hold that as an achievement :angel:

[McTrouble]

I got them to play Oh Diane as a request once. I hold that as an achievement :angel:

Oh Diane is one of my all time FM favs - nice one! :thumbsup:

My husband got them to play Holiday Road and Dancin' Across The USA!!!! He did it as a request for me just before one of our holidays. :)

[RickRobert]

Let's see if we can get them to play Come :angel:

[bluefox4000]

I just got back from atlantic City. And 2 days in a row, at the same casino they played Sara.

Mick

[McTrouble]

Let's see if we can get them to play Come :angel:

Go on then, why don't you put in a request for it - maybe for all UK Ledgies, that might get their attention wondering who/what we are! ;):laugh:

[jbrownsjr]

I haven't had any unexpected FM lately.. but...

My favorite to hear in the grocery store is Trouble... The guitar solo sounds so good as I stroll throught the aisle!!

[MacShadowsBall]

To my suprise, shreaking out and everything, I heard Monday Morning just a hour ago on the radio! :D

[ButterCookie]

Yesterday while travelling home, Secret Love was played on the radio :thumbsup:

[SteveMacD]

I saw somebody wearing a Buckingham Nicks t-shirt at breakfast here in Oslo.

[bangdrum]

Last night I went to a free movie in Hudson River Park. They had music playing until it started, which mostly seemed to be alternative or rap based stuff. Then they played Everywhere (from The Dance, no less!) followed by Little Lies!

[Silver Springs]

Just had a twofer on Come Dine With Me. You Make Loving Fun, immediately followed by Everywhere. That was wierd.

[MacShadowsBall]

Just saw "The Chain" from The Dance on VH1 classics. :D

[Silver Springs]

I just yelled at the radio because they started playing "The Chain" but cut it off half way through. That's just not cricket.

[GoldDustWoman22]

I was watching the weather channel and "Hold Me" came on! It was totally awesome and I rocked out. However during the middle instrumental it started to fade out which made me a little angry but they kept it on and actually played the whole thing:nod:...it was wonderful!

[BellaDonna]

I heard Gypsy come on last week when I was waiting on my order at our local pizza place. I had a wonderful day after that. :nod:

[vivfox]

On Wednesday I was watching & half a$$ed listening to a tv program. Whatever this talk show was, it has replaced the Glen Beck talk show. Anyhoo on one of their outro's to a tv commercial they played Holiday Road. It was odd hearing Lindsey singing on a serious tv show.

On the next outro they played just the music of The Violent Femme's Blister In The Sun.

[jbrownsjr]

Yay I finally got one!! Say You Love Me. Habit Burger on Ventura Blvd in Sherman Oaks.

[Moz]

While watching 1 Girl 5 Gays, one guy said he wanted Landslide ("by Stevie Nicks" :rolleyes:) played at his funeral.

[MacShadowsBall]

Caught the last minute of "Little Lies" video on VH1 classics this morning. :D

[Artemis]

I was in the Concert Room of the pub where I work tonight, and this lass sang Little Lies. It was pretty awesome. :laugh:

[ButterCookie]

Second Hand News was on at work tonight.

[Blueletter18]

Crazy! Second Hand News was on this 60s, 70s, and 80s radio station I listen to, and it was their "hit or miss" of the day, so people call in and vote on whether they should keep it on their regular play list or not. Of course, I called in and voted right away!!

[bluefox4000]

Well I found this unexpected parody of the Mac, It's a random mishmosh of all Stevie's lyrics. It's funny to watch what "Chris" is doing in the background:lol:

I've seen this a few times. It is soooo funny! :D

So apparently at my new job, they play "Everywhere" alot!

Mick

The part that always kills me is when John falls asleep. He always has that look about him, even when not performing,as though he's perpetually bored.

[MacFan92]

Heard Stevie's version of Crash Into Me in the grocery store today!

[Silver Springs]

Heard Stevie's version of Crash Into Me in the grocery store today!

I like that version, not as much as Dave Matthews Band version. I adore the "I'm the Queen of the Castle and you're the dirty rascal" line. I feel as though Dave Matthews wrote the song anticipating Stevie's cover just so the line could be about Lindsey, haha.

[jbrownsjr]

Denver International Airport... Little Lies.. then about 10 min later... Little Lies again... too weird...

[HomerMcvie]

I heard Sara in Goodwill today....

[MacShadowsBall]

So at my new job, I was training with my supevisor when "Say You Will" started playing! Needless to say, I tuned out what my supervisor was saying and was mouthing along to Stevie's lyrics. :)

[WildHearted]

Not FM, but.. Stand Back was on the radio on my way home from college the other day.

[MacShadowsBall]

Last week while grocery shopping, I heard the single version of "Over My Head" on the radio.

Today at my new job, they played "Got a Hold on Me". :thumbsup:

[jbrownsjr]

I heard Friend at the Fresh & Easy in Van Nuys on Sepulveda. Awesome tune.

[WildHearted]

Was listening to the radio with my friends in a parking lot, heard Monday Morning and For What It's Worth.

They didn't like either song but I was having a jolly old time.

[vivfox]

I heard Dreams at the Post Office today when I went in to mail a package.

[britt0308]

Thrown Down at the end of a Friend's episode this afternoon..

[BLY]

I got a new truck and have XM Radio for three months so I thought I would give my IPOD a break. This morning I heard For What It's Worth with a little "Set Up".

[mylittledemon]

Little Lies at the airport in Wellington today :eek:

[Blueletter18]

Turned on my favorite station to listen to while studying, and Dreams was on! Then I requested Gypsy about an hour later, and they played it!! Yes, made my night!

[bangdrum]

Dreams in the local supermarket.

[michelej1]

I was eating lunch yesterday and the place is crowded, so I set at the bar and out of nowhere the bartender started singing, "tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies."

It was so strange to me, because I had been thinking of The Ledge at the time and it was like he had seen into my head. I wanted to say something to him, but the place was crowded and servers kept coming up to him to get drinks for their tables, so I didn't want to slow him down.

Michele

[GoldDustWoman87]

Often hear Go Your Own Way or Don't Stop on EastEnders.

[WildHearted]

Was working out in the gym, listening to my ipod, with my Mom. Took my ipod out and for some reason I didn't notice right away - probably because it would have been normal for it to have played on my ipod, so I was confused.. but Stand Back was playing on the loud speakers, so naturally I turned ot my mom and go, "This is Stevie Nicks!" And she's just like, "Okay..."

[McTrouble]

Just finishing dinner at Bubba Gumps Shrimp Co here in Anaheim about a half hour ago when Don't Stop came on - as we say in the north of England that was just Bang Tidy!!!!!!!

[WildHearted]

On Saturday night I heard 'Say You Will' at IHOP at like 1 in the morning, haha.

[Macfanforever]

I heard Dreams at the end of "The Deep End with Nick Michaels" radio show tonight.

[poetinmyheart]

So recently I bought my first car. It was a big deal for me as it cost pretty much all my savings and I'm pretty clueless when it comes to cars. Anyway, I was at the showroom reading through the contract - hoping that everything was in order and what comes on the radio? Rhiannon! It felt like fate so I promptly signed the paperwork and drove my new car away :nod:

I hear Fleetwood Mac all the time. They seem to follow me. The cinema, the supermarket, flicking between radio stations...

[Blueletter18]

I work late nights a lot of times, and sometimes the Mac comes on my favorite radio station when I pull into my driveway or when I'm driving home. It always makes me smile- usually it's Gypsy, Rhiannon, Go Your Own Way, or Say You Love Me.

[TerraRhiannon]

They played Everywhere on the radio station at my cottage the other day and my whole family was there and I was trying not to like freak out and start singing at the top of my lungs :L

[michelej1]

I remember one Christmas my niece got a Barbie RV with a real working radio for a gift. The radio didn't play like it was supposed to. We must have spent an hour unscrewing the battery compartment, changing the batteries, shaking the van. Finally, we somehow got it to play and when it did "Little Lies" was blasting from the toy radio.

Also, this June I walked into a room to sign a contract and when I entered Gypsy was just ending, that guitar solo, so I figured that was a "green light" sign.

Michele

[MacShadowsBall]

Tonight I was flipping around on the Music Choice channels and ran across "Stand Back" on the 80s channel. When that song ended I changed over to the 70s channel and they were playing "Sara". :cool:

[PolishStevieFan]

Even though I live in Poland (where Fleetwood Mac have never been to) I hear "Little Lies", "Everything" and "Seven Wonders" regularly on different radio stations. For example, few days ago, when I woke up and turned on radio named "Golden Hits" (one of the most popular in Poland) I heard "Little Lies" again. I wonder why they play only "Tango In The Night" stuff... The strange thing happened to me few months ago when I went with my girlfriend to furniture store and suddenly she screamed: "It's Stevie!" Indeed it was "Dreams (Deep Dish Remix)". I couldn't believe that I hear it in such a place! The other day, my girlfriend said she was drinking wine with her girlfriend and suddenly there was "Stand Back Remix" bumping out of the speakers! I don't know if I can believe her (considering that she was dirinking:)) but the thought of it alone makes me happy :)

That Stand Back remix gets me every time, me and my sister used to have a comedy workout routine to that bad boy :')

[Blueletter18]

I was practicing piano late one night in my college's arts and music center, and I heard a guy from one of my classes playing guitar and singing Landslide beautifully in the lobby!! I was beyond excited.

You should have called him into your room and offered to play California Dreamin' together. Who knows, the rest of the story could be your history.:woohoo:

[Blueletter18]

Hahaha I actually considered telling him what a great job he had done or even requesting the next song, but I was too shy.

[sushud82]

Doing some Thanksgiving shopping last night, heard album version "Big Love" at Trader Joe's (made the whole claustrophic experience suddenly much more pleasant) and then heard "Hold Me" at Whole Foods. I'm taking it as a sign that Thanksgiving is going to be fabulous.:D

[darkcat]

Did anyone else hear For What its worth on CSI Miami last night?

[elle]

Go Your Own Way in my local Trader Joe's this morning.

[louielouie2000]

So I was sitting at my desk at work yesterday, and suddenly realize in a dull shock that I hear Lola My Love playing somewhere behind me. I walk around trying to shake off my disbelief, and discover one of my coworkers was playing Buckingham Nicks in his cubicle. I shouldn't have been surprised- I heard him recite a verse of Wild Heart recently too. :D

He's probably a Ledgie.

[louielouie2000]

I heard Christine McVie's Friend while having lunch at Zoey's Kitchen today. I couldn't have been more surprised. What a nice touch for my Friday! :D

[MacShadowsBall]

Yesterday on the Classic Rock Music Choice channel, I heard the Eagles "Heartache Tonight", then Heart's "Straight On" and then Go Your Own Way from the 1980 live album. :cool:

[MacShadowsBall]

Yesterday while at lunch I heard "The Chain" on the classic rock radio station. :cool:

[jbrownsjr]

I'm always shocked when I hear something from this album. I heard it recently too in a market I believe.

[elle]

well - Second Hand News was back on the Morning Joe where it belongs this morning.:cool:

[Aussie W/Heart]

I couldn't believe it :thumbsup:TUSK was played on RAGE at 3.30 am, Suzi Quatro was the guest commentator, she had great taste in music too, i was tempted to stay awake all night.. RAGE also played Secret Love 2 weeks ago:thumbsup:

[CADreaming]

I heard Buckingham Nicks, Don't Let Me Down Again on Sirius XM Deep Tracks channel yesterday!

[McTrouble]

Was watching the film Jack Frost earlier - I forgot that Landslide is played during it so a nice surprise! :nod:

[Blueletter18]

I was shopping in American Eagle and heard a cover of Everywhere! Not sure who it was, but the opening sounded like Everywhere, and I was pleasantly surprised by the rest of the song!

[McTrouble]

My local "Boots" store seems to have FM Greatest Hits on a loop - yesterday was no exception! Needless to say, I linger in there for as long as poss LOL!

[vivfox]

Yesterday after hearing the sad news about Barbara Nicks I got in the car to go somewhere with my mother and Silent Night by Stevie was the song playing when she turned on the radio.

[MikeInNV]

Wow, that's really unexpected considering it's after Christmas. Most stations bombard you with Christmas music starting on Thanksgiving and stop abruptly after Christmas Day.

[vivfox]

What's even more odd is that it was played on a Catholic radio station.

[beccamorrisfift]

Today was such a great day for me, music wise, I was out shopping with Jay and we stopped into the Factory Shop (of all places!) so we walked in and I could hear a familiar voice playing in the background and then all of a sudden I realized it was Lindsey and they were playing GYOW! So, we stuck around for the rest of the song, I was completely in a daze as I never here FM when I'm out, so the song ended and we were just walking out and Gypsy started playing! Of course, I made Jay stay in the shop with me until it ended and when it finished lo and behold Everywhere started playing! By now we'd pretty much exhausted our interest in the Factory Shop so we left, and went down to one of the local record stores. On our way back past the Factory Shop I begged Jay to step in there with me again just to see if they were playing FM still, so we looked in for a few seconds and Tusk was playing! The manager must have had the Very Best Of playing, it was magic.
Then we walked down to another record store and we were browsing the boxes of records and I found Rumours, Rock a Little and Bella Donna! I was beyond excited, and then I saw that they were in the two for a fiver section so I just had to get them, unfortunately I didn't get RAL because it had a pretty terrible tea stain on it, but I'm so chuffed at making my first vinyl purchase!
And that's the end of my story :laugh:

[Lee]

once on the radio this morning, The Chain. Then today in J C Penney, I was in the Lingerie Dept. I was looking @ lacey stuff there & thinking about Stevie, about the song, Leather & Lace, & thinking about how she just lost her mother. Gypsy came on which is one of my favorite songs of FM's that she sings. It was a weird but nice moment.

Lee :)

[Angel69]

Go Your Own Way in my local Trader Joe's this morning.

Whenever I am in Trader Joes (which is about once a week) something Fleetwood Mac related comes on....last time it was Edge Of Seventeen. I actually heard Countdown in there once.

[michelej1]

I heard Dreams in Houston's yesterday and it came on when I was thinking of Fleetwood Mac. But I often think of Fleetwood Mac, so that's really not as important a coincidence as I would like to think.

Michele

[Blueletter18]

I was so surprised to hear the Deep Dish remix of Dreams (the one from Crystal Visions) on the radio when I was working today!!

[MacShadowsBall]

At the beginning of my work day yesterday, I heard "Say You Will" and towards the end of the day I heard "Hold Me." :cool:

[GoldDustGypsy]

I constantly hear FM and Stevie solo at work and I always stop everything and say OMG LISTEN TO WHO'S PLAYING. My co-workers just roll their eyes (jokingly) and tell me I'm too obsessed. :laugh:

Today I heard As Long As You Follow.... but I also hear Second Hand News, Go Your Own Way, Gypsy, Big Love, Never Going Back Again, Don't Stop, and Rhiannon a lot.

Leather and Lace and Stand Back play quite a bit too.

[MacShadowsBall]

Go Your Own Way was playing on some countdown show Saturday night. However the DJ introduced the song as "Lindsey Buckingham and Fleetwood Mac"! :shrug:

[louielouie2000]

I heard I Don't Want To Know the other day at lunch. Sure made the rest of my work day better. :)

[McTrouble]

Well as I always say that as far as I'm concerned Lindsey IS Fleetwood Mac, that intro is perfectly fine by me! :laugh:

[Aussie W/Heart]

Yesterday I went to watch my son race MX on Sunday, as we were driving along this lovely country road in the SE hinterland QLD, i noticed a rd sign reading Fleetwood Rd, i vaguely remember reading/hearing? many many years ago, that Mick had bought land around that area, coincidentally then just to top it off about 3km down the road there is a beautiful picnic area called Fritz Park:). Next time if i get a chance I'll ask the local farmers along Fleetwood Rd if the road was named after Mick. Im curious & would be interesting to know the detailed story behind it.. :thumbsup:

[Blueletter18]

Heard Landslide from THe Dance on the radio at work today! This was followed by I've Got a Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas...um, yeah, just doing the Black Eyed Peas a huge disservice. Then I switched to a different station and heard Stand Back!!!

[Aussie W/Heart]

Yep, i was grinning ear to ear all the way home!!:D lol..

[Sanne2]

Just heard The Chain being played in a new Jeep commercial.

[PolishStevieFan]

Few days ago I came across...guess what...? "Little Lies". I was shopping in a big mall and there it is "Little Lies" in all its 80's glory :) Too be honest I can live without this song! It's much too overplayed in my country. Can't they play "Sara" or "Gypsy" for a change?

[Kena]

I heard Say You Will in Lowes the other day. Made my shopping trip for light bulbs very delightful...well for about 2 minutes at least.

[Kena]

Oh and I just ran across this... how random...

http://www.etsy.com/listing/89710893/you-can-go-your-own-way-vintage-style?ref=fp_treasury_7

[Silver Springs]

The Chain on the BAFTA awards. Accompanying an award for a film about a racing driver.

Honestly....it's such a cliche how this song has become a soundtrack for motor sports... I'd like to hear it in a new context.

[bangdrum]

Heard Over My Head in Loehmann's today. Hearing it "on the radio" makes it a lot clearer why it was such a big hit. :nod:

[michelej1]

But I loved how they protested when BBC Formula 1 stopped using the song, briefly.

Michele

[Blueletter18]

Dreams and The Dance version of Landslide on the radio at work again today!!

[Dove]

Heard "Say You Love Me" on one station. Listened to it. Switched stations and heard "Sara".

I almost crashed my car :lol:

Two awesome songs in one sitting.

[YoungAmericans]

774 Melbourne played Ebony Eyes. Didn't see that one coming. :blob2:

[seekerj]

"Thrown Down" in CVS (in Connecticut).

Couldn't help but sing along to it right out loud. Really freaked a couple people out!

[vivfox]

In my mother's car this morning on a Catholic radio station: Think About Me.

[jbrownsjr]

In my mother's car this morning on a Catholic radio station: Think About Me.

wow that's rare!

[PolishStevieFan]

I'm quite boring but yesterday among omnipresent Whitney Houston's songs they found a little space for...guess what..."Little Lies" of course :) I'm starting to hate this song. Why Polish radio stations can't play anything else? But on the other hand...bettter this than nothing...

[vivfox]

OK so last night I was in the car and flipped on the radio. The last 2 lines of Stop Draggin' were playing. Most times after a station has played a FM or Stevie song I will switch to another station. Then they played American Woman by The Guess Who. I like that song so I listened to it. If the next song sucked I was ready to change the station and then Gold Dust Woman came on. I couldn't effin believe it.

[Aussie W/Heart]

You know after all these (35) years Ive yet to hear GDW on the radio, actually a couple of weeks ago, Classic Hits Station played Edge of 17 it was my first time hearing it on any radio station here in OZ, i couldn't effin believe that either:D:blob1: So of course i cranked up the volume LOL.. tho they do occasionally play Sara, Little Lies, Hold On, Dreams, GYOW, Tusk & Landslide..

[WildHearted]

I heard GDW on the radio Sunday night while driving with a friend.

It's my ringtone, so when my friend got back in her car after jumping out to pick something up and it was playing, she was convinced that I had done something to make it play.

[MacShadowsBall]

So yesterday while I was at my favorite restaurant getting my to-go order, they had the radio on playing "Leather and Lace." So I get in my car and turn on my radio trying to find out what station was playing the song. I tuned to the classic rock station, and they were playing Gold Dust Woman! How funny! I did find Leather and Lace on another station, kinda adult comtempory type station. :cool:

[bluefox4000]

heard Monday morning in a store at the Mall.:nod:

Mick

[WildHearted]

I heard "Not That Funny" playing on the loudspeaker in a coffee shop once a few months ago... I thought it was really random.

Unbelievable! Whoever programmed that playlist was def. a fan of the band.

[PolishStevieFan]

I love "Not That Funny". It's one of the best songs from the "Tusk" album. I wish I could hear it somewhere in Poland. Maybe one day...who knows...until then there's always "Little Lies" I can rely on in public space:)

[Artemis]

Heard Everywhere in the supermarket the other day. I normally hear that song or Little Lies whenever I'm in there.

[McTrouble]

Sounds like my local branch of Boots - they are forever playing FM's Greatest Hits. I always linger in there quite a while! :)

[MacFan92]

Heard "Say You Love Me" in my college's cafeteria Wednesday!

[MikeInNV]

You know, I really like this thread but I wouldn't classify most of what is posted as unexpected. Just this morning on the way home from the store, I heard "Gold Dust Woman" on the radio, but it wouldn't occur to me to create a post about it because it's a very famous song and, even as a non-single, is on the radio quite a lot. Fleetwood Mac is a very famous, legendary band with a long list of enduring hits that can be played on classic rock, adult contemporary, and (I hate to say it) oldies stations. I hear them all the time. For really unexpected, I would have to go with "Thrown Down" being played on "Friends" or a Stevie Nicks joke on "Family Guy."

You don't think it's unexpected to hear "Not That Funny" in a coffee shop?

:lol:

But I know what you mean. This is less of 'unexpected FM' and more of 'I heard FM playing and it wasn't coming from my CD player or iPod speakers!' :cool:

[MikeInNV]

You don't think it's unexpected to hear "Not That Funny" in a coffee shop?

I am on spring break in Austin, TX this week, and I was in Antone's Record shop and browsing the FM section. I found a Buckingham Nicks!!! Just sitting there, unassumingly, like it's not rare or anything.

[TerraRhiannon]

I got in the taxi days ago and heard "Say You Love Me" start playing. The taxi driver turned the radio down but I could still hear it pretty good :thumbsup:

[MacShadowsBall]

Yesterday at my retail job, I head Stevie's Deep Dish version of Dreams, and later on heard Lindsey's "Trouble" for the first time!

Not a bad song...:cool:

FM just mentioned on the pilot episode of NBC show Bent, after silver springs' "you won't forget me" played in the background.

character was asked "why fleetwood mac?".... guess he was depressed or something :laugh:

EDIT: and again, towards the end of the episode, half of the silver springs chorus... just read in mcnuggets that FM listening is apparently a part of the script.

[vivfox]

I heard Think About Me on the radio today on that Catholic radio station again. That's the 2nd time in the same month.

[MacFan92]

Got my hair cut last Saturday at the little salon in Wal-Mart, and Gypsy played, but it was the extended version like in the music video! Also, Go Your Own Way played in my campus cafeteria the other day, but that's less unexpected haha.

[jbrownsjr]

Spin class!!

Started our warm up with "Say You Love Me"

Surprisingly it was very quick and uplifting for fitness...

[thinkaboutme90]

I saw on my radio app that YMLF was playing on our two local oldies stations at the same time. After the first YMLF ended, I just switched the station and listened to second one. :laugh:

This is kinda hard to believe, but anyway yesterday an old friend popped over for a BBQ lunch, & while i was making salads inside, i over heard our muso friend talking to my husband outside saying that Mick Fleetwood is building a house here in the Sunshine coast's hinterland, i stood there for a sec thinking did he just say Mick Fleetwood? tho Ive known this guy for over 20 yrs, i have never mentioned to him or anyone that i am a huge Mac fan , so for him to bring that up was pretty random... We sat down for lunch then i asked about the conversation they were having outside, my husband said oh yeah Dee likes F/M. Our friend didn't comment whether he enjoyed their music or not, but he did go on to say that his mate is working on Mick Fleetwood's house, i jokely said perhaps he was finally building this house on Fleetwoods RD, which is a real road btw:D, he had also heard the same rumour that MF had bought land in the hinterland back in the 80's...
I have no reason to not believe him, so i think this is pretty cool if it is in fact true:thumbsup:

You had the perfect oppurtunity to say,"when you build your house then call me home."

:thumbsup, yep perfect opportunity & i blew it...

[Lee]

I heard Stand Back last night in the Giant grocery store. My husband was talking to me when it started. And I said, "It's Stevie!" And he's just still talking away. I repeated, "It's Stevie! Did you hear me?" He said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's Stevie, the black dress, I hear ya!" :rolleyes: Of course I sang along for about three or four aisles.

[NoFear♥OnlyLove]

I heard Gold Dust Woman while at the gym the other day. :thumbsup:

Last week at Walmart (where I hate to shop), I heard SYLM. I don't think I've heard FM there before.

Saw an episode of "Chuck" last night with a cover of Second Hand News, it wasn't very good I wish they'd used the original.

[vivfox]

I know it's technicly not FM, but I heard Gold on two different radio stations this morning. After one of them played the DJ said, "that's John Stewart." He didn't even mention Stevie. I mean really, who is the bigger star here?

[louielouie2000]

Go Your Own Way from Live In Boston was blasting through the speakers when I walked into Tyler's last weekend. Tyler's is a local Austin clothing store. It's the first time in a while where I've been surprised to hear a Mac song. Mainly because the only time I've heard anything from Live In Boston, I was the one playing it. :p

The jocks never mention Stevie when "Gold" gets played on the radio.

[BrownEyedGirl26]

The jocks never mention Stevie when "Gold" gets played on the radio.

Here in Perth, Western Australia the disc jockeys always mention Stevie's name when they play "GOLD", because she is more famous over here than John Stewart. Some of the older DJ's remember the New Christy Minstrals
but the younger ones only know of Stevie!

[ryan4136]

"Think about Me" again, walking into Walgreens. That's twice recently, and I've never heard it before in public...weird.

[Lori40]

I heard Sara on xm 25 (classic rewind), which is not really unexpected, but the dj's comments were. Pat St. John, the dj, said that he wasn't sure, but he thought that Stevie played piano on Sara. He then went on to explain that he was always bothered by the title of the album, Tusk, because it was a reference to all of Stevie's piano songs on the album(?) and the fact that the piano keys were made from elephants' tusks (ivory). I guess I should be happy that he knew Sara was Stevie's song, and it was from Tusk.

[fairydust75]

I believe Stevie's original piano demo is mixed in on the album. Stevie said something like Christine couldn't get it quite right during the recording. Anybody else remember or know if I right or did I imagine it?

There is an episode of King of Queens where it shows how Doug and Carrie met, and in Doug's apartment there are rock posters hanging up, and one is the TITN promo poster.

I heard Whenever I Call You Friend on the radio twice today and I heard Gold yesterday once more.

I heard Hold Me at the market square last saturday which is really weird because you never hear anything Mirage over here, it's like that album was never released.

[holidayroad]

On Thursday, I heard SYLM at CVS. That's twice in one month I've heard that song while out shopping!

[aleuzzi]

I have never heard this. It strikes me as improbable since the technique required to play the part is minimal. And Christine has admitted to being very "snobbish" about doing things herself (in a 1979 Keyboard mag article), so I really doubt she'd allow Stevie's demo part to be used on the album, especially if Stevie played the demo herself. It just doesn't sound likely. I could be wrong.

Where did you hear this? I'd be curious to know.

I don't remember exactly which interview it was that Stevie said it. She said it was in the mix somewhere. That her original piano demo was left in the mix. Anybody besides me and CAdreaming remember ever hearing this? I don't think I made it up.

I am 100% sure you didn't make it up! I just question the veracity of Stevie's statement. It doesn't seem likely given Christine's skills as a pianist are so much stronger.

I wonder if they let one layer of her playing stay in the mix, as a texture and not as the base track.

Yes, I don't think the reason is that Christine couldn't get it right. But there are two piano tracks. I know when it's been discussed before, someone suggested listening to the right channel and left channel of the song separately and that helps you hear that there are two, Chris and Stevie.

Carrie Underwood guest dj on the station The Blend on Sirius XM, introduced Little Lies by saying FM is one of her favorite bands and some of the nicest people. She loves LL, thinks its one of the most unique songs ever, loves Stevie Nicks' "chilling" background vocals.

Hmmm. I don't think Little Lies is that unique. I do like the way the song sounds sugary on the surface, but has a sad, cutting edge. Stevie's background vocal certainly does add to that edge, even if I wouldn't consider it chilling.

Michele

I guess it would be very unique to Carrie's generation, in a way. It's hard to be unbiased, but I always thought it had a different sound even though I can't really pinpoint the reason why I think so. I agree "chilling" was a weird way to describe Stevie's vocals - just sounds like Stevie doing that Stevie thang to me and I'm glad Lindsey turned her up in the mix. :lol:

[Macfanforever]

I heard "Say you love Me" through a radio that I was repairing over the weekend.

[michelej1]

I agree "chilling" was a weird way to describe Stevie's vocals - just sounds like Stevie doing that Stevie thang to me and I'm glad Lindsey turned her up in the mix. :lol:

Her voice does have a discordant sound to it, maybe a little metallic. It's a nice contrast to Christine. And that's a contrast from Stevie's vocal on OMH which was warm, feathery and complemented Christine's tone. I think Stevie sounding like that on LL, clashing just a little, kind of brings the message home.

Of course, this is one of those songs that you hear all of the time. I think that next to Landslide, it's the most famous non-Rumours song as far as airplay goes. I remember my niece got a Barbie camper for Christmas once and the camper had a real radio in it. Well, we couldn't get the radio to work. On Christmas Eve, my sister-in-law kept taking out the batteries and putting them back in and shaking the camper and we got nothing and after about an hour of that, suddenly the thing worked and the radio sound blared out of the toy. The song playing was "Little Lies" and, as always, I somehow crazily took it as a personal message. Michele

[bluefox4000]

Not a song or anything. I had a dream last night that we had a poll on this board about which member of the Mac talked the most. Lindsey won, with Stevie not that far behind. I voted Lindsey but said Stevie has a tendency to tell the same stories over and over and over. Like listening to the Mac albums back to front:laugh:

Yea I'm here WAY to much:lol:

I don't know if I could choose... they both love to talk don't they.

But it's funny because there's something different about their talkativity - Lindsey is always very prepared, and when he talks it's a jumble of philosophy and metaphors and it's all very specific to himself. Rarely, in recent years, have I heard Lindsey give an answer that seemed like it wasn't rehearsed. Stevie, on the other hand, will also talk someone's ear off, but she mostly just rambles and tells stories.. she doesn't give many prepared speeches - even the 'Gypsy' speech was not all THAT consistent - although she does repeat a lot of the same ideas. And she has stories she returns to that she interjects wherever she can.

And both of them, when speaking, tend to use the same phrases over and over.

So today i was wearing my Rumours shirt, and a girl from my uni noticed it and asked me if i really knew about FM (doesn't happen much in France, totally unexpected). Turned out we went to the same concert for the Unleashed tour 3 years ago, and everything was great, and i had a new friend...until she said her favorite FM song is "Oh Diane". :( :( :(

Oh, that would make her a cherished friend, not because I agree that it's a favorite (or should be anyone's), but just the fact that she chose such a rarity tells me she must be special;).

There's an italian radio/tv channel called Radio Capital that broadcasts 70s/80s/90s music. I'm watching it almost everyday since last week and in the past 3 days I was able to watch "Don't stop", "Little lies", "Sara", "Rhiannon", "Dreams" and "Seven wonders" :D -EDIT: and "Gypsy" (I forgot about it)
There's also another 80s local tv channel called 8FM TV and it's also possible to watch it in streaming: http://webtv.ottofm.tv/
This is the tv channel I watched 2 years ago when I lived in Turin (Piedmont) and thanks to it I discovered Fleetwood Mac's music ("Little lies" was in fact one of the first video they aired when the channel was still new and had only few songs).
There's also a tv commercial for Eni Gas Station and it's almost 6-7 years that they use "Don't stop" as background music. At first, it was used the original FM song, but now there's an instrumental version of it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6k3WFGvHd8).
In 2011 the original song was changed with Erica Mou's cover (that honestly I don't like very much):

The other week i was having lunch with my partner and they played Dreams, The Chain and then Oh Daddy in succession.

We then went for a few drinks elsewhere and we heard Gypsy and then Seven Wonders in succession.

The day before we heard Dreams in a shop and i started to duet on it with the man who was serving me.

Very strange:blob2:

Well, I had an unexpected FM moment, only it wasn't that I heard a song. A customer came in today & saw my pics of FM on my bulletin board. She said, "Is that Stevie Nicks?" And I said, "Yeah". Then she want to know if it was taken on her solo tour or during FM. And I said that it was FM (from the Unleashed Tour in Philly though I didn't tell her that). She asked if I was a big fan. Well, yes I am I replied. I think she was surprised. She then said something about how our parents said that R&R would never last & something about today's music. She said that she really can get into the music part, not so much as the lyrics. She said that the one song that she really liked from FM was Tusk. Yeah, I said that was a good song though I would say for me personally it's not my favorite. And that was my unexpected FM moment today. :nod:

Lee :)

[louielouie2000]

I heard the song "Say You Will" while in Zoey's Kitchen here in Austin the other day. One of the last times I was there I heard Christine McVie's "Friend." I like being surprised with obscure Mac tunes during my lunch break. :D

[KindOfWoman90]

I have sooo many instances, it's a bit weird.

Over the summer I typically had my iPod plugged into the car. I had been listening to FM a lot at this time, so I thought I'd switch things up and turn on the radio. So, I switch on the radio and an FM song begins to play. I can't remember which song now. But it wasn't like I jumped into the middle of a song, it was the exact beginning, no adverts, no DJ talking. It was like I had popped in a CD. The FM gods are powerful :cool:

Another time I was in JCPenny and a really horrid club remix of GYOW started to play. It was pure sacrilege! It wasn't even a cover, it was just their song mashed up and destroyed.

One other time I was leaving Target, and the music playing outside as I walked to my car was a instrumental cover of NGBA :) That made me happy, made me want to stand on the sidewalk a bit longer.

I heard Love In Store, as I was leaving Lowes, a couple of days ago(so of course I didn't walk out!), and heard Big Love, in Goodwill yesterday.

[soul_drifter333]

I just heard a muzak version of Silver Springs at the K & W Cafeteria. That was the first time I've heard it done as elevator music, and it was actually quite nice. Not as dramatic as FM version. :laugh:

BTW, the original studio version is by all-time favorite Stevie performance.

[rhiannondontgo]

The CVS I was at today was playing Rumours in full over the loudspeaker. I made my poor dad stay in there like 20 minutes after we were done shopping because I was like soaking up that awesome moment. :thumbsup:

When I walked into work on Sunday, the band was singing Don't Stop. A song I LOATHE even when Christine is singing it, but then they sang The Chain and followed that with Go Your Own Way! Very surprised.

Although, they royally messed up the lyrics to The Chain. Cue epic twitching times.

[holidayroad]

I was at Big Lots yesterday and they played 'Sentimental Lady' (solo version). That made me miss Bob Welch even more. :(

[MacShadowsBall]

I heard "As Long As You Follow" Wednesday at the local Fred's store! :cool:

[Stormwind]

Here in Italy the band is not very known. So I was surprised when I listened a their song used for a opening of a show . The song was "The Chain"

[holidayroad]

I heard 'Everywhere' at Kmart today!

[ryan4136]

Finally got around to watching "Grown Ups" the other day when it was on cable. 2 Mac songs back to back caught my attention.

[Blueletter18]

I was watching the new episode of Parenthood 2 or three weeks ago, and "Honey Hi" was played for an entire scene! I just about died.

I just love hearing this one on the radio! It's on Classic Rewind quite a bit:) For a minute I was like , ITS A 70s SONG, but I guess it was released in '79, so same thing.

[KindOfWoman90]

I was just printing some things out in a student common room, and some guys were in there listening to music. It sounded familiar, but it wasn't until the second song when I heard Christine's voice that it dawned on me. They were listening to Time. Crazy. Such a random album to be listening to imho, especially for a bunch of 20 somethings. I'm not sure where they were from, there are a lot of international students about here.
But when I heard Christine I asked if they were listening to FM. We had a FM bonding moment.
Now that I think about it, they had just started Time when I came in because the second song I heard was Hollywood.

[FierySequences]

very weird, Twilight Zone moment...but sure enough I would have clocked in on the Time love:D

[MacShadowsBall]

As soon as I stepped into a pizza joint, I heard Don't Stop. :cool:

[holidayroad]

I heard 'As Long As You Follow' at Big Lots last weekend.

[Artemis]

I was waiting in our local corner shop's carpark when I heard somebody drive in playing Landslide ridiculously loudly. I turned down my radio to listen along :laugh:

[UnwoundDreams]

Everywhere came on Real Radio Wales on the bus to school. I was the only person on the bus who knew the song all the way through. I must have given the girl sitting next to me a bad impression by singing all the harmonies.

[FierySequences]

wow, I totally forgot about this thread. Over the past cpl of months, FM is all over the places I go (moreso now). I have heard them so much that I can't remember (list) all the songs, but it is usually hits: Little Lies, Hold Me, Dreams, etc. I even heard Slow Dancing at Steak and Shake.

[holidayroad]

This is Stevie, not FM, but I heard 'You Can't Fix This' at FYE.

[FierySequences]

I heard Seven Wonders at work the other day. To my delight, I said to a 25 yo co-worker "I'm sure your parents would know who this is, but not you." He listened for about 30 sec. and replied "FM?" :cool:

[britt0308]

Was at a rock/indie concert in Portland last week. The DJ prior to the opener and main band played the original Trouble. Total surprise. And then went right back into newer rock/elect stuff.

Over March break I went to my Aunt's farm because my uncle sadly passed away last March break while we were there and we didn't want her to be alone on that day. So the day he passed away (March 14th to be exact) so she took us there to see his grave stone and when we got there i started crying hysterically. So i told them iw ould wai tin the car, once i got in the car Don't Stop came on the radio and i started smiling and i was so happy. I thought it was justa lovely coincidence. But it wasn't. After we left the grave yard, we went to see my Grandma who works at Walmart. So i listened to sad depressing songs all the way there, I couldn't stop thinking of my uncle. And once we got in there we started talking to my grandma and she gave us a hug and comforted us and NO JOKE right when i was about to start crying again i froze. It was "As Long As You Follow"!!!!!! ALAYF was being played on a small town radio station in a Walmart!! Obviously i started fan girling, i was so happy 2 in a row! And then after it was over some other song came on. And then Love In Store came on! It was a fm marathon all day!! That was God's way of telling me everything was alright :) then we went bowling :P

I heard a remix of "Everywhere" in American Eagle last weekend. I thought this was pretty cool considering this is a store that mainly plays contemporary music.

Also, heard Go Your Own Way on the radio and an ad for their Boston shows! :nod:

I heard Gypsy at Kmart not long ago.

Just a few minutes ago, my husband was listening to music through Directv and Sentimental Lady (solo version) came on. I had to fight off feeling like crying.

Then during writing this, EO17 comes on whatever channel my husband is listening to.

Last Tuesday at one of the dining halls on the University of Illinois campus, I heard "Oh Well" with Peter Green. That was totally unexpected. I've also heard Rumors era Mac songs being played there but never blues Mac.

On Friday at lunch with colleagues, What Makes You Think You're The One played at The Counter in Los Angeles.

Now, that is unexpected. I would have been in a state of shock through the rest of the meal. Michele

I was watching a soap opera on television and Dreams was playing in the background very faintly - I could just make out Mick's drum line and John's bass. And during an episode of The Voice UK, Go Your Own Way played during one of the contestant's background things.

While walking through the Mohegan Sun Casino last night, I faintly heard the song Sara playing over the crowd noise in the long hallways.

I forgot to mention that I heard Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You on that Catholic radio station yesterday. It was only the 2nd time I ever heard it on the radio in my life. The first time was in July, 1986 when I was at an HOA campground at the four corners and heard it wafting out of someone's tent late at night.

I heard FM's "Landslide " Dance version at my local church carnival a couple weeks ago.Which is up the street from my house .I happen to have my camera in the video mode and let it run during the play of the song.
I guess the jocks known I was there.

I was watching an old King of Queens and it was a flashback show, telling us how the couple met. There was a Tango poster on the bedroom door, which made me smile.

Not sure if this is old or not, but tonight on tv I saw an ad for Twizzlers that had an animated car driving and they were playing Holiday Road (I know, a Lindsey, not FM reference, but anyway, it caught my ear)-

I hear random Fleetwood songs during my job as a cashier from my store's soundtrack system

Fortunately they're normally not the ones that are interrupted by "SCAN on X" or "Override on Y" over my store's pager network.

This is a massive improvement from my old place of employment where they played no Fleetwood Mac and overplayed a set of 16 songs (2 of which were among my favorite TPetty songs) to the point where I wanted to bang my head against the wall whenever I heard "Breakdown" or "The Waiting" for at least two months after I quit.

Also, a Fleetwood Mac song will randomly come on the classic rock station I listen to during my commute to or from work.

Fox New's "The Five" plays FM and Stevie fairly regularly!

In a bar on Thursday night, on comes Everywhere. Cue a bunch of drunk, 19 year-olds dancing and shouting "I love this soooooong". It freaks me out that they were only three or four when The Dance came out.

I commute 45 minutes through Boston to work everyday. When I got to a toll, I heard Stand Back coming from inside the booth. I searched all the popular stations until I found it! :D

Now, I have Stand Back (+30 live versions) on my IPOD that I play in the car all the time. But for some crazy reason I had to listen to it on the radio! Too funny.

how great is that?

[Ulpian]

They all know it as "The Dancing Pony Song"!

Everywhere is still apparently the top-selling FM single on UK iTunes.
:D

LOL.. I do that too, frantically searching through the radio stations then feeling extremely happy when I find it..

Last week, my teenage son showed me a photo posted on his Instagram, which showed his covered tattooed 25yr mate driving to work, & proudly holding up The Best Of F/M. Nice surprise as I assumed he listened to rap & heavy metal type music. :D I look forward to bring up F/M next time i see him:D

Last weekend I was in Metro (all you people who don't know what Metro is; it's a grocery store/superstore) And I remember just freezing and thinking to myself "no f#@!ing way!" Sure enough I heard what I thought I had, it was the intro to "Some Become Strangers"!!!!! I literally stood there dancing in the aisle until It was over! I was soooo happy, considering its one of my faaav RAL songs, and probably one of my fav non-solo Stevie songs!! It's not even a single!! I was soooo shocked! That made my week :D
