Before this, let me tell you that your chosen are just like mine!! :sorry:
I really love those songs, Say Goodbye & Bleed to Love Her have a very special sense for me, the live versions of I'm So Afraid are incredible (specially Live and The Dance) and the studio version of Go Insane is from other galaxy!! And I really like Empire State...

Well, I could not live without... :D

- Say We'll Meet Again
- Surrender the Rain
- Big Love
- Can't Go Back
- What Makes You Think You're the One

I could include You & I (part I), but as I know, it's a song of McVie/Buckingham, not a Lindsey "solo" work.
Regards!! Thanks for start the thread!!

Haha I know, numbered lists of this sort are always a bit arbitrary, but I'm glad you like lists too! I figured 5 was a bit easier to pick than ranking 10.

Love reading everyone's picks :thumbsup:

[KindOfWoman90]

1. Bel Air Rain
2. Never going back again (am i the only one?)
3. The Ledge
4. Coutdown
5. Time Bomb Town

I was definitely going back and forth on that one! I love NGBA, but opted for Say Goodbye instead. :)

[elle]

i just don't get all the love for Say Goodbye. :distress: can't stand that song.

[KindOfWoman90]

Really? What is it about it that bugs you? Honestly just curious :)

especially the live version sounds like one of those old Julio Iglesias type of schlagers (from i guess the 60s or 70s?). can't stand those.

(i do appreciate the baroque-y guitar parts, but the schlager sound of of the whole song way overshadows the guitar for me)

Haha fair play, each to their own :nod:

I love the guitar parts, their harmonies, and the lyrics... okay I love the song lol

[mezzoforte]

Never Going Back Again
Save Me a Place
Trouble
Shut Us Down
Someone's Gotta Change Your Mind

[Sleepless-Child]

I was definitely going back and forth on that one! I love NGBA, but opted for Say Goodbye instead. :)

NGBA is like, Lindsey's trademark song. I have around 15 versions of it on my ipod, it's my Rhiannon. And i love how, on the last DVD, when he starts the song, and the audience cheers, he has that smile that says so much about him and the song itself. I just love it.
Say Goodbye is great too, it's a great live moment between him and Stevie, but i don't like the studio version.

Julio Iglesias, seriously??? :laugh: i mean i get why you don't like the song, but JULIO?!

Never Going Back Again
Save Me a Place
Trouble
Shut Us Down
Someone's Gotta Change Your Mind

You love acoustic music, don't you? I like your list, because Shut Us Down, Trouble, and Save me a place (which is an underrated song) almost made it on mine.

[KindOfWoman90]

Save me a place (which is an underrated song) almost made it on mine.

That was another song I struggled with! I love Save Me a Place, but I suppose I looked at my list as a "stranded on a desert island" list heh, so I tried to have a balance of acoustic/softer and harder songs.

[elle]

Julio Iglesias, seriously??? :laugh: i mean i get why you don't like the song, but JULIO?!

yeah, it's schmaltz-y sounding. :laugh: how can you get why i don't like the song but not accept my reason why? :confused:

a while ago, LB said in some interview that he would hope to change his style as he ages, maybe to some Sinatra-like style... to go with his age. (guess he was thinking screaming, barking and guitar-humping may be less appropriate as he ages :D) he succeeded with this song :rolleyes:. glad he decided not to stick with that musical style after that one try.

[The Chain]

Fleetwood Mac:
The Ledge
What Makes You Think You're The One
Walk A Thin Line
Caroline
Red Rover

& if this were a top seven list, You & I Part 1 & Book of Love would make it in there.

Solo:
Bwana
Bang The Drum
D.W. Suite
Surrender The Rain
Under The Skin

again, continuing in order of favorites (at this moment in time) if this were a larger list:

Countdown
Cast Away Dreams
Show You How
Time Precious Time
Underground
Treason
Rock Away Blind
Seeds We Sow
In Our Own Time
When She Comes Down.. (I've been listening to SWS a lot lately, is it obvious?)

I knew I wouldn't be able to make a real top 5 list ha:sorry:

That’s All For Everyone
Walk A Thin Line
