LMFAO, you and Cassie voted for 4 or 5 each. I love you guys :laugh:

Hold Me and As Long As You Follow, two of the very best songs ever!


Hold Me is on my top 5 FM songs, too much about it is perfect.

[louielouie2000]

Brown Eyes and As Long As You Follow :)

Both are gorgeous songs... one about lust, one about love! I'll always cite Brown Eyes are the pinnacle of Fleetwood Mac... and As Long As You Follow tugs at my heart strings the way that very few songs do :)

[Artemis]

Aaaarggh. REALLY difficult.

I went with Brown Eyes and Little Lies though, I think both show Christine at her best, in two remarkably different ways.

[Nikolaj]

Interesting poll, but my 2 choices aren't here- 'Isn't It Midnight' and oh yes, 'Sugar Daddy'. 'IIM' was Christine's moment to get her 'rock a little' on, and 'SD' with her sly, crisply British lyrics didn't strain being so clever as to overwhelm the song.*
* No offense to the superlative writing talent of Joni Mitchell, but compare JM's 'Raised On Robbery' to CM's 'Sugar Daddy'- Both are similar in being fun; slightly naughty, bawdy-girl songs with a wink, but CM's song takes the "less is more" approach.
I like 'Raised On Robbery' a lot, but JM's ego and talent slam all of the (excellent) innuendo at you with such force, that the good fun of the track is a tad crowded by the in your face intelligence of the lyric.
Christine gave us a lighter but still very fun variation of the 'bird out to roll ya' theme without JM's 'I have a PhD in lyric writing' 'tude.
I think CM is more fun than JM.
I love 'Sugar Daddy's' light touches- the horn honks, door slam, lovely laugh at the end and a very hooky melody with room to breathe . It's a peak into Christine's fun, deadpan side. I think many fans overlook the song because it's not typical of CM's writing. So, for this poll, I'll vote for 'Say You Love Me' as I consider the melody of it to be a kissing cousin of 'Sugar Daddy'.
'Say You Love Me, Sugar Daddy!'
--PS In the lengthy instrumental solo towards the middle of 'IIM' it is possible to sing or mix parts of 'I Can't Wait' into it and have it fit and sound good!

That's good, Silver Springs! I only picked one, so our two glitches will almost even the score out to the thread-starters specs. I think.

[holidayroad]

Everyone please remember to keep it to only 2 choices! I know it's hard to choose only 2, but we want it to stay fair.

[MacShadowsBall]

Well voting seems to be going fairly well. Like holidayroad said, please just nominate(vote) for 2 songs.

Also, check out Christine's nominations on the Pre-Rumours forum.

We'll check back in tomorrow! :)

[Villavic]

Where is Songbird???
Where is Isn't it midnight?

[CreepingDeath]

Little Lies & As Long As You Follow :cool:

[jcalzaretta]

My favorite is not even on here. Over My Head. Craziness.

[vivfox]

Say You Love Me and Brown Eyes.


I hope to make this fair you are gonna delete some votes from songs that certain Ledgies over voted on.

Holidayroad and I will take it under consideration. However, if certain Ledgies wish to vote for just 1 song, like I will, that will be fine.

If your "favorite" ;) song is not here, its because it lost the qualifying rounds in the first part of the battle of the songs. Please read the opening post for clarification. Also the sticky thread has the list of all the winners.

[RickRobert]

You expect me to pick two of these? I'd have a hard enough picking five :eek:

Sugar Daddy is simply great rock and roll. It's a classic.

[MacShadowsBall]

No votes for "Save Me" yet "Nights in Estoril" gets three. :laugh:

[RickRobert]

No votes for "Save Me" yet "Nights in Estoril" gets three. :laugh:

Because Nights In Estoril is the best Christine song ever! Save Me would have been third my choice but I love As Long As You Follow.

[MacShadowsBall]

Nominations close in 6 hours. Please vote if haven't do so. :nod:

[CreepingDeath]

No votes for "Save Me" yet "Nights in Estoril" gets three. :laugh:

Behind The Mask should have won over Save Me anyway. :nod:

[MacShadowsBall]

For Christine's Behind the Mask songs, Save Me got 10, Behind the Mask got 7, and Skies the Limit got 6. Not exactly a thrilling victory for Save Me.

[holidayroad]

Behind The Mask should have won over Save Me anyway. :nod:

I agree!!!

[MacShadowsBall]

I voted for "Say You Love Me".

I get off work in 15 mins, so I be back on to declare the top 3 songs when I get home. (takes me like 5 minutes to get home!) :cool:
