I think I am going to go with Warm Ways because Brown Eyes would later best it.

I think Sugar Daddy is underrated, but it would be my other potential pick.

Over My Head is just so groovy.

And Say You Love Me is pure Mac greatness.

[louielouie2000]

I love them all! :( But I guess I love Sugar Daddy the least. Despite that, it's still a fun, cute little diddy.

[Silver Springs]

This was a very hard one, especially considering that Christine is my least favourite vocalist and this just happens to be the album that squeezes together the songs of hers that I do love. But Warm Ways is a little wishy washy for my tastes, and I avoid it when listening to my iPod, so this was the natural choice. Say You Love Me, Sugar Daddy and Over My Head are just too darn fun to vote for.

What you said. Warm Ways has never done it for me. And I'll never understand the dislike for Sugar Daddy. I'm not really a lyrics driven person, so I guess that's it.....

[RickRobert]

I love them all! Over My Head I love the least.

[louielouie2000]

And I'll never understand the dislike for Sugar Daddy.

And I'll never understand the dislike for Warm Ways that's so prevalent here. I think it's a beautiful, breezy song. Not earth shattering, but just very lovely.

[KarmaContestant]

Yikes. In the other poll, I chose Warm Ways for a couple categories, but seeing Chris' material in one list, I had to go with Over My Head. It's about as overdone for me as Rhiannon.

:thumbsup: i agree with you Louie... for me i think maybe it's the vocal on Sugar Daddy. But i would take Warm Ways any day over it.?:shrug:

I agree with your assessment, though I don't think it's dislike. I just had to say: she's done that sorta thing better in other songs, specifically: "Brown Eyes" and "Mystified".

[ontheEdgeof17]

They are all A+ songs...but I voted Over My Head....just cuz.

[jbrownsjr]

I just wanna go on record and say how much I love Warm Ways. It's a beautiful piece and very pristine.

Carry on.. :o

There's no need to be embarassed about something you love. If we were all the same we'd have fu.ck all to talk about :)

[MacShadowsBall]

For me its a toss up between Over My Head and Warm Ways. There both kinda too light and easy going.

hahaha thanks SS!!! :)

[Christopher]

Warm Ways is way under appreciated. Its pure sonic valium... in a good way;) I've turned to this song when I want to completely chill. It has such soothing tones, and carries me away....every listen. Plus it's almost a complete hidden gem, whereas OMH & SYLM, while great songs, have been played! This is hard, but I vote for Sugar Daddy as my least favorite.

[chiliD]

This one is a "none of the above" for me. Yeah, at one point in the mid-80s, even close to year Y2K, it would've been a toss-up between "Warm Ways" & "Sugar Daddy", but I've since grown to appreciate both a whole bunch.

I still can remember buying this album, getting home and slapping it on the turntable like it was about a year ago. I remember listening to "I'm So Afraid" for the first time, as the song faded out, tears were streaming down my cheeks. I listened through to the entire album about 10 times that evening. It was such a change from Heroes Are Hard To Find...I had the Buckingham Nicks album already, but I didn't expect that they'd have that much influence on Fleetwood Mac right from the get-go. I figured it would've taken them a couple of albums to settle in.

One experiment I did late in the evening was take the Buckingham Nicks album and Christine's songs from Heroes Are Hard To Find (except for "Bad Loser"), figured out a running order, then recorded them onto cassette. Damn if it didn't sound amazingly like that '75 album. Don't remember the exact order, since I LONG AGO lost that cassette...it was something along the lines of:

Side 1:
Don't Let Me Down Again
Heroes Are Hard To Find
Crying In The Night
Lola (My Love)
Come A Little Bit Closer
Stephanie

Side 2:
Long Distance Winner
Without A Leg To Stand On
Prove Your Love
Django
Races Are Run
Frozen Love


I couldn't wait to hear them live. I was blown away when I finally saw them in concert (as openers for Loggins & Messina and Faces).

[GypsySorcerer]

I went with "Warm Ways." It's not unpleasant, but a little too much of a snooze.

wow.

ETA: That is beautiful.

[kick.inside]

This is so hard! :(
I ended up choosing Warm Ways (I think - I sort of forgot already...). That's not saying I don't like it, though.
I love ALL of Christine's songs. This is like making me choose between my (non-existent) children. Eek.

[Fiver]

Somebody voted for Say You Love Me? That's just plain wrong. :p

I just picked what first popped into my head... Sugar Daddy. On its own, it's a fun, catchy song, but as an album track it always seemed out of place to me.

Still love all these songs anyway.

[darklinensuit]

I voted for 'Warm ways'. I like Chris's vocal, just not the instruments.
I'm one of the few who like 'Sugar Daddy', but then I also like 'Homeward Bound', which similarly doesn't get much love on this board.

[McTrouble]

Sugar Daddy - just can't stand it!

[ButterCookie]

Like Steve said, "none of the above"

The only song I don't like off the white album is I'm So Afraid.

[aleuzzi]

I don't dislike any of her songs here. Put another way, I love all of her songs here. Asking me which one is my least favorite would be like asking me which one of my children I love less. Not going to happen.

In fact, there isn't a weak song on the record. Same goes for Rumours. Two flawless records.

Why no Bad Loser? It's my favorite song on Heroes!

[MacShadowsBall]

So back in August for the favorite song contest, Warm Ways had 7, Sugar Daddy 8, Over My Head 11 and SYLM 21.

Will the songs that had the fewest votes on that contest reflect on this contest? :shrug:

Because "Bad Loser" musically had such a "Bob Welch" sound & feel, unlike any other Christine song. It's my fave Christine song on Heroes... as well.

Mine too........

[sjpdg]

Only voted for "Warm Ways" because for me it's just not quite as good as the rest. Doesn't mean I don't like it. Only means that strictly speaking for myself, it's not as good as the others. Really I love them all.

I did.. I stand by my choice... I love the tune.. but if I had to get rid of one, that was my pick because I've heard it the most..

Oh, I was teasing. :thumbsup: I just wasn't expecting it to get a vote.

[Lucia]

Warm Ways.This is a rare case when I strongly dislike a Fleetwood Mac song.
I'm also not a big fan of Sugar Daddy.It seems to me like a weaker imitation of Say You Love Me.
Rest two are truly great

[jcalzaretta]

Listening to my stereo on random. Over My Head live from The Dance just came on. My favorite of all Christine songs. I know we all have our own tastes but cannot understand how anyone does not love that song. Perfection in my opinion. Just love it.

I love it too and am grateful it made the DVD, since we didn't have it on the tour. Also, I've been as impressed with Stevie's vocal work on OMH as I have been with her own songs.

[MacShadowsBall]

Gotta go with "Warm Ways". I forgot how much I enjoyed "Over My Head", esp the harmonies.

[Heartboy]

'Warm Ways'

That song puts me to sleep every time.

I just want to cuddle up to my bf and sleep all day! :lol::)

[vivfox]

All these songs are great so I refuse to even pick one.

[Heartboy]

I love when people are honest!:cool:

[MacShadowsBall]

Wow! 52 votes! That's awesome! :D

Looks like its either "Warm Ways" or "Sugar Daddy".

[markolas]

Sugar Daddy. I don't think it's a bad song, just that the others on this album are so good.

[jbrownsjr]

Oh, I was teasing. :thumbsup: I just wasn't expecting it to get a vote.

not to worry.. i don't take things personally here :) I knew you weren't being mean or anything of the nature.. ;)
