This is blasphemy.

[TerraRhiannon]

Well, it might be blasphemy, but there are SOME Fleetwood Mac songs that just aren't that great to some people, for whatever reason. I don't enjoy Family Man, but then again the other day I caught myself humming it in class.

[kick.inside]

I was just kidding, silly.

[TerraRhiannon]

Oh I know ^_^

[pattyfan]

Before I tell my answer and / or make my prediction, is this question about all F Mac configurations or just the Sacred 5 Rumours lineup? Inquiring minds want to know. :)

Kevin


Edit: I just realized this was posted under the Rumours section of this page, so nix (pun intended) that question :)

Do we start posting our least favorite songs?

This contests runs in the Pre-Rumours, Rumours, and Post-Rumours forums. Currently on the Rumours forum there is a thread open focusing on the songs from the '75 white album. Also there are 2 polls open for your least favorite Christine and Lindsey songs from the white album.

However, I'm no longer accepting predictions for the white album, since those polls are now open. :sorry:

Hope that helps!:)

[MacShadowsBall]

All three polls for the white album have been posted. They close in a few days when the winners along with "World Turning" battle for Least Favorite Song from '75 Fleetwood Mac.

[MacShadowsBall]

So far we have "Warm Ways" and "Blue Letter" in running for Least Favorite Song from the white album.

The Stevie poll closes tomorrow.

[Dodfather]

The Stevie poll closes tomorrow.

I really like Blue Letter! For me Warm Ways is the worst track on tha album, no question.

[MacShadowsBall]

Discussion for the Rumours album starts Monday! Start getting your predictions ready Ledgies! :nod:

[MacShadowsBall]

[MacShadowsBall]

For the Rumours album we have "Don't Stop" and "Never Going Back Again", and most likely "I Don't Want to Know" for Stevie, which ends tomorrow.

Should I include last years big winner "The Chain" in the final poll for least favorite song from Rumours? :shrug:

[MacShadowsBall]

Later today, I'll post the update standings for the prediction portion of this contest. :cool:

[MacShadowsBall]

As promised here's the update standings including least fav Christine, Lindsey and Stevie for Mirage, but not yet the final vote for Mirage.

Fiver - 5 correct

Looks like Mirage was easier to predict w/ a few Ledgies earning 2 points for Mirage, so far. :cool:

Tango in the Night starts on Memorial Day, so its not too late for more Ledgies to participate in the predictions.

[MacShadowsBall]

Still accepting predictions for Tango in the Night. Also the polls are up on the Pre-Rumours forum for Future Games. :thumbsup:

[MacShadowsBall]

Check the Post-Rumours forum for the Behind the Mask least favorite song discussions.

Well there's no point me checking this - I've never heard Behind The Mask :laugh:

I've never been interested in listening to any FM that doesn't include my Lindsey!

[MacShadowsBall]

There's a link on the Behind the Mask thread to myspacemusic's website with the playlist for Behind the Mask. Christine had some good songs IMO just as good as her songs from Mirage/TITN. Stevie's aren't bad while Billy and Rick's songs are good, but nothing that's really "Wow"!

Yeah if your predominately a fan of Lindsey songs and his production ability/style, then Behind the Mask( and Time) probably ain't gonna be your favorite FM albums. :cool:

Part of the problem is that they played it too safe with the material. Rick had a moster that got cut called "Got No Home" while Billy had a great pop number called "Game Of Love." "Hard Feelings" and "Stand On The Rocks" would't have been my first choices.

Also, IMO, Stevie kept her strongest material for her solo album, and gave the Mac filler. She should have given "Whole Lotta Trouble" to the Mac. I mean, when three people in your band are British blues legends and a fourth is an ex-Bluesbreaker, you gotta give them the blues song.

[MacShadowsBall]

Check the Pre-Rumours forum for the Christine and Danny polls for the Bare Trees album. :D

[MacShadowsBall]

Remember to check out the polls for Behind the Mask on the Post-Rumours forum and the Bob Welch poll on the Pre-Rumours forum. :D

[MacShadowsBall]

Here's the update on the Ledgie predictions portion of the least favorite song contest!

Artemis - 6 correct
McTrouble - 6 correct
Fiver - 5 correct
holidayroad - 3 correct
Neal - 2 correct

[MacShadowsBall]

Check out the Pre-Rumours forum for the Penguin polls. Also check the Post-Rumours forum for discussion on Time. :D

[MacShadowsBall]

Moving on to Mystery to Me on the Pre-Rumours forum and midway throught the Time album on the Post-Rumours forum. :)

[MacShadowsBall]

I updated the original post with the standings in the contest so far. Seems as Jeremy and Lindsey have the most songs eligible for least favorite FM song of all time.

Lindsey? That makes me a combination of :distress: and hopping :mad:

[MacShadowsBall]

yeah Lindsey's got 4 so far, but we still have Say You Will to get to next week.

[Silver Springs]

Lindsey? That makes me a combination of :distress: and hopping :mad:

It is quite a sad figure, really. But you forget just how many Stevie fans (I can never remember the collective term for them :p) are swarming the boards, and just how few we are in Lindsey's corner of the site. Ah well. The less people there are, the easier it is to move the furniture when we feel like redecorating :p

[MacShadowsBall]

So we are in the final stages of the first part of the least favorite song contest. The second part begins August 1st.

I plan on running it the same way the favorite song contest last year was run.

If you have any suggestions/comments just let me know! :cool:

[MacShadowsBall]

The final polls for Heroes Are Hard to Find and Say You Will have been posted. Those polls conclude on Sunday.

Monday we begin the 2nd part of the least favorite song contest when the winners begin to compete. We will determine the least favorite song for each vocalists and later, narrow the vocalist and album winners down to the #1 least favorite Fleetwood Mac song of all time! :cool:

Check the first post in this thread for an update list of the winners.

If anybody is willing to be designated as a tiebreaker for certain polls, let me know.

[MacShadowsBall]

I did some rough figuring on the contest to find out how many songs each vocalists has in the running.

Lindsey Buckingham - Empire State, Teen Beat

Jeremy Spencer - Hellhound on My Trail

Christine McVie - Ricky

Stevie Nicks - The Second Time, Silver Girl

Danny Kirwan - When You Say

Dave Walker - I'm a Roadrunner

Dave Mason - Blow by Blow

Other: Thoughts on a Grey Day

[MacShadowsBall]

We have finished part one of the least favorite Fleetwood Mac song contest. Part 2 begins Monday. Check the first post in this thread for the complete list of songs that are eligible for least favorite song.

Are there any songs that maybe have not been considered or even if they lost a poll that you feel should be included in the contest? You make post a reply here or PM me your opinion.

I'm also working on the predictions portion of this contest. :cool:

[MacShadowsBall]

Here's the list of songs still in the contest.

Hellhound on My Trail
When You Say
Thoughts On A Grey Day
I'm A Roadrunner

Empire State

Poor Mrs. Scarott.

[MacShadowsBall]

Poor Mrs. Scarott.

3 votes so far! Lucky for us Bare Trees is still a good album.

[MacShadowsBall]

We are in the final stretch of the least favorite song contest! The poll with the top 10 songs will be posted tomorrow with the top songs from that poll moving on to the finals.

I'm kinda surprised about certain songs that already dropped from the contest, i.e Don't Stop, Oh Diane, When I See You Again.

[windbecame]

i think you should throw "Lizard People" on the list....it was never officially on a poll...and i'd be STUNNED if this isn't a least favorite of people!! :lol:

[MacShadowsBall]

I sorta added Lizard People after the fact to the least favorite collaboration/other/misc song poll a week or so back, asking for replies for that vote, but nobody did so, I don't know. :shrug:

Any ideas?
