[TerraRhiannon]

LOVE IS DANGEROUS :D

That is all.

[Silver Springs]

Uck. Not a good album at all. Personally speaking, of course. :s

Now if it was "Worst Collaboration", I would without question vote for When The Sun Goes Down. Absolute...Redneck...Dreck.

[MacShadowsBall]

Wow, you guys are quick! Poll is up now...:)

[chiliD]

"When The Sun Goes Down"...the ULTIMATE collaboration in Fleetwood Mac history. Doesn't get better than that. :thumbsup:

Appears some minds need to open up a bit...:mad:

Hahah, yeah, we barely gave you a second to breathe. We demand things now. :p

[MacShadowsBall]

Yeah I'm hopping around 3 forums here getting these discussions and battles going. :eek:

Last night I spent some time figuring out how the Battle of the Songs is gonna conclude...:confused: Let's just say it will be very interesting with alot of tough battles ahead.

Well...no. Actually. My mind is plenty open. I just don't like the song. Simple as that.

WTSGD is an upbeat little tune with great vocal harmonies from Rick, Billy, Stevie and Chris. Would have been fun to hear live. It's like a breath of fresh air amongst some real stinkers on this album.:nod:

By the way SS, have you got something against people with red necks? Are you, perhaps, one of the Lizard People?:eek:

JK!:D

Nah. I only dress up as one on weekends on visits home. What with the housing market being as volatile as it is these days, my parents thought it savvy to invest in a nice little lagoon.

Despite some cheese factor.. I think Do you know is a very nice tune..

[louielouie2000]

Love Is Dangerous is my fav, despite the corny lyrics.

Do You Know is just a bit too slow and sappy. The production is so thick and sloppy you'd need a diamond blade saw to cut through it! :p

When The Sun Goes Down just has no place on a Mac record, in my humblest of opinions. For those who think it's because I'm a chiffonhead, think again. I say the exact same thing about That's Alright. Fleetwood Mac in my eyes has always been a blues/pop/rock fusion... and things like folk/country/zydeco just don't fit into the puzzle. Others disagree, but this is just how I feel.

I have a VERY special place in my heart, for DYK. I remember that love, like it was yesterday.....never meant to be, but I was deeply into it...my favorite song on BTM.

Well, I think you're wrong. FM has never really had any boundaries, yet you do. Good music, is good music. That's Alright, is one of my favorite Mirage songs. And I like WTSGD.

Do you know. That is all.
Do you know. ...the ULTIMATE collaboration in Fleetwood Mac history. Doesn't get better than that. (ok ok.. after Don't Stop and World Turning voices collaboration, of course).

I disagree, WTSGD reminds me of Jeremy's Buddy Holly-inspired joints from Kiln House--totally within the realm of the band's legacy of taking in different rock/pop elements (just IDWTK's Everly-inspired harmonies).

I am actually in love with Do You Know :blob2: So that! We're not counting When It Comes To Love as a collaboration though? Maybe Chris didn't co-write but it is a duet...

The consensus here on the Ledge seems to be that collaboration is more about who wrote the song versus who sings on it. "Don't Stop" and "Hold Me" were counted as Christine not collaboration, while "World Turning" was counted as collaboration since it was both co-written and performed vocally by Christine/Lindsey.

Hope that helps...
