[RickRobert]

:thumbsup:

I love when people don't go with the usual suspects.

:D Good call on Love Shines and Heart of Stone by the way. Heart of Stone is such a weird song for me, it feels really "dark" for a Chris song but not in an obvious Behind The Mask kind of way :shrug:

[CreepingDeath]

4. Sugar Daddy
5. Say You Love Me

Oh Diane,You And Me Part 2


You and Me??? Don't cha mean You and I?

Oh Diane is at the top of your list? We need a puking emoticom.

[Silver Springs]

You and Me??? Don't cha mean You and I?

Oh Diane is at the top of your list? We need a puking emoticom.

Oh Diane only just missed out on being in my top ten too, actually. It's a fun song.

Somebody has his acerbic hat on, today :P

[HejiraNYC]

You and Me??? Don't cha mean You and I?

Oh Diane is at the top of your list? We need a puking emoticom.

Actually, Lindsey's usage of "you and I" in the context of the sentence is totally incorrect grammar! "You and Me" would have been correct.

I agree about "Oh Diane." Blecch! One of my favorite Mac songs of any era is "Goodbye Angel;" why it never made the cut for Mirage I will never understand.

[tz5632]

1. Big love
2. I'm so afraid (Live)
3. Only over you
4. Everybody finds out
5. Gypsy

Second Hand News
The Chain
Say You Love Me
Gold Dust Woman
Angel
You Make Loving Fun
Eyes Of The World
Hold Me
The Ledge
Go Your Own Way

My list looks like the next "greatest hits" tour. :shrug::shocked:

[Blueletter18]

This is so tough to choose 10! Right now:

Sara
Gypsy
Why
Hold Me
Landslide
Dreams
Think About Me
Go Your Own Way
Silver Springs
Blue Letter (although I much prefer the BN live version)

[Blueletter18]

You and Me??? Don't cha mean You and I?

Oh Diane is at the top of your list? We need a puking emoticom.

I actually like Oh Diane, but not enough to put it on my list, lol.

[Blueletter18]

:D Good call on Love Shines and Heart of Stone by the way. Heart of Stone is such a weird song for me, it feels really "dark" for a Chris song but not in an obvious Behind The Mask kind of way :shrug:

Yeah, I agree, although I do love that song, it was very different when I first heard it- I though it was kind of a "mean" song, for Christine, at least.

[KarmaContestant]

In no particular order...

Dreams
Silver Springs
Second Hand News
You Make Loving Fun
Never Make Me Cry
Walk A Thin Line
Gypsy
Tango In The Night
Seven Wonders
When The Sun Goes Down

[McTrouble]

You and Me??? Don't cha mean You and I?

Oh Diane is at the top of your list? We need a puking emoticom.

That'll teach me to not read 'em before I submit 'em! :laugh:

Oh Diane is in my Top 10 - they weren't in any particular order!!!!!

[moon]

Hey, "Oh Diane" is a good song! Maybe its rythm is very "catchy", and you know, is not an epic song, a work of art, but, is nice! What I really regret is that the definitive version doesn't have the energy of the demo version. Maybe that could change something...
Regards!

[michelej1]

I don't really know, but Hold Me , Think About Me and Angel would be on that list.

Michele

[elle]

this is hard. no order:

Second Hand News
Oh Well
Go Your Own Way
Walk a Thin Line
Gold Dust Woman
I'm So Afraid
Hold Me
Eyes of the World
Tusk
Landslide

honorable mentions:
Albatross
Love Minus Zero
Red Rover
Bleed To Love Her

[elle]

I don't really know, but Hold Me , Think About Me and Angel would be on that list.

Michele

Think About Me and Angel would go on my honorable mentions too; and SOTM.

[shackin'up]

NO ORDER

1) Oh Well
2) Hypnotized

4) Rattlesnake Shake (live boston tea party)
5) I'm So Afraid
6) Go Your Own Way
7) I Know I'm Not Wrong

How do I put SMAP, EOTW, That's Enough For Me, Over & Over, Why and Landslide in there?

[louielouie2000]

I'm just going to go with my initial stream of conscious:

1. Brown Eyes
2. Gold Dust Woman
3. Prove Your Love
4. Hypnotized
5. Why
6. Storms
7. Oh Daddy
8. Hold Me
9. As Long As You Follow
10. Illume

I didn't expect Christine to take up the majority of my selections! Or for Lindsey to not be present at all... :o

[GoldDustGypsy]

1.Dreams
2.Rhiannon
3.Gold Dust Woman
4.Beautiful Child
5.Silver Springs
6.I'm So Afraid
7.Only Over You
8.Sisters of the Moon

10.The Chain


I feel like my list is somewhat of a greatest hits/most famous list...but I think they're my favorite for the simple fact that these are the songs that made me fall in love with FM. Just as I could listen to Dreams on repeat constantly and it would always be my favorite song of all time- it opened the world of FM to me and for that reason will always hold a special place in my heart.

Gypsy (again should be higher, but the other tracks are better imo)

Just ten, eh? Here goes:

Remember Me (from Penguin)
Child Of Mine (from Bare Trees)

What Makes You Think You're The One

[cbBen]

I've been waiting to post this FM "Top 10" episode from Sea Of Tranquility (which in this case they turned into a "Top 15"). Just didn't know what forum since they cover the entire catalog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdbNnq2L32Q

Guest co-host Jeff Young is effusive in his praise for Say You Will (says it's his favorite album after Rumours): "I got a lot to say about this underrated album in their catalog, in the Fleetwood Mac canon, which is Say You Will. And one cool thing is Lindsey did the whole album with the VG-8 Roland–it's like a guitar synthesizer–and the special pickups that he has in his Rick Turner guitar. So it has a very cool sound. He shreds a lot on that album. He gets really aggressive. There's a lot of guitar playing on this album. I think a lot of people miss this record."

I agree with the general sentiment of the above (though no, it's not my second favorite FM album). He later says (and I agree here too) that he rates Tango In The Night particularly high because it has its own distinctive flavor.

Anyway, for those who don't want to watch the thing I will later list the top 15 choices of the two hosts (they each make their own list), plus their honorable mentions. For now, however, I'm just linking to the episode so as not to spoil it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdbNnq2L32Q

Below I list my own top ten. Obviously (and admittedly) I am largely unfamiliar with much of their non-Buckingham catalog.

[cbBen]

1. Big Love (Dance version)*
2. Sisters Of The Moon (Mirage video version)
3. That's All For Everyone
4. Rhiannon (Mirage video version)
5. Dreams
6. Walk A Thin Line
7. Gold Dust Woman
8. The Chain
9. Gypsy (acoustic AHI benefit version)
10. Little Lies

*If this is cheating because it's Lindsey solo, then move everything up one position and put Monday Morning at #10.

[sue]

Not in any particular order, and difficult to choose just ten..

That’s all for everyone
Man of the world
Angel
Bleed to love her

I totally forgot about "Fireflies". Love that song. Kind of wish it'd been on TUSK but I don't know if Nicks had written it by then.

I've been waiting to post this FM "Top 10" episode from Sea Of Tranquility (which in this case they turned into a "Top 15"). Just didn't know what forum since they cover the entire catalog: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdbNnq2L32Q

Guest co-host Jeff Young is effusive in his praise for Say You Will (says it's his favorite album after Rumours): "I got a lot to say about this underrated album in their catalog, in the Fleetwood Mac canon, which is Say You Will. And one cool thing is Lindsey did the whole album with the VG-8 Roland–it's like a guitar synthesizer–and the special pickups that he has in his Rick Turner guitar. So it has a very cool sound. He shreds a lot on that album. He gets really aggressive. There's a lot of guitar playing on this album. I think a lot of people miss this record."

I agree with the general sentiment of the above (though no, it's not my second favorite FM album). He later says (and I agree here too) that he rates Tango In The Night particularly high because it has its own distinctive flavor.

Anyway, for those who don't want to watch the thing I will later list the top 15 choices of the two hosts (they each make their own list), plus their honorable mentions. For now, however, I'm just linking to the episode so as not to spoil it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdbNnq2L32Q

Below I list my own top ten. Obviously (and admittedly) I am largely unfamiliar with much of their non-Buckingham catalog.


Well, I found it quite excruciating at times but I did sit through this. I like how they gave a lot of credit and recognition to Bob Welch and that period of the band, though its a shame they didn't include any CM songs from that period in their top 15. Disappointed with their criticisms of Tusk. The love for Say You will was a surprise, though I understand why they felt that way.
Overall, some interesting choices. So too, some really odd choices (top 15 FM songs covering all eras and you kick off with Dust My Broom???). Listening to this reminded me of what a great song Future Games is- its so mellow but you forget the last minute or so really rocks out and kicks a bit of butt.

[cbBen]

Well, you just made me realize that I completely reversed the order of the respective Top 15 lists (probably because they list them in reverse order during the episode). Sorry about that. As to the length, I found their commentary of enough interest to justify it.

In any case, here are the accurate lists:

It's not so much the length- its their commentary I found a bit hard to bear. Nice guys but at times I found it a bit slow. I guess doing this sort of thing via Skype or whatever they were using doesn't make it easy. As this was Fleetwood Mac it was enough to keep my attention but I'm not sure how many other bands I could sit through this for.
Thanks for posting- nice to hear some praise for Bob Welch and Danny Kirwan.

[cbBen]

Yes, Jeff especially was slow. And yes, being in the same room would probably have helped.
