The Definitive Christine McVie Song Contest

[MacShadowsBall]

Here's the list of Christine McVie's songs (124 songs!) from her Chicken Shack, Solo, and Fleetwood Mac albums. Remember the idea is to condense Christine's entire catalog down to the definitive 18 songs. Please look over this list and let me know if a song(s) needs to be added/removed. Any ideas/complaints/questions let me know! :cool:


Polls will be done chronologically on the Christine forum
Possible combining some of the Pre-Rumours era albums
Two polls each for Christine Perfect and In the Meantime (due to the limit of 10 songs per poll)
Multiple choice polls, maybe with a choice limit
Songs must get at least 50% votes to move forward in the contest

Maybe 'Can't Help Falling In Love' (from A Fine Mess soundtrack (1986) ) and 'Roll With Me, Henry' (from Rock, Rhythm, and Blues (1989) ) should be included. (?) She didn't write either song, but some fans may want them included, just for the sake of completeness.

Yes, because she didn't write "I'd Rather Go Blind" either...

I'm fine with adding "Can't Help Falling in Love" and "Roll With Me, Henry". I'm not aware of the second one, but as long as Christine is singing lead/duet on a song, then it counts. "Can't help falling in love" can be added to the Tango era list, and "Roll with Me Henry" can be added to Behind the Mask era list.

Even though she didn't write "I'd Rather Go Blind" it is still on her solo album, I think it should count also. :cool:

[Villavic]

I see bootlegs and demos are not included... so I can't vote for Christine's version of Gypsy :laugh::laugh:
Just kidding.

[MacShadowsBall]

I know right!

I thought it best to exclude demo's as that can get into a murky area. :cool:

[nicepace]

How about also including "Gone Into the Sun" and the other songs of hers from the Madison Blues compilation?

I think a good rule for inclusion would be: any studio or live recording appearing on an official release, on which she is the lead singer (or co-lead singer). It shouldn't matter if it was recorded by Fleetwood Mac, Chicken Shack, Christine solo, or another artist.

[MacShadowsBall]

I'm not familiar with that song or this compilation. The person I contacted as Christine expert is MIA! Tell us more about this Madison Blues.

Exactly what I'm going after. Christine's complete song catalog. :cool:

[nicepace]

Madison Blues is a three-disk box set released in 2003 of recordings from the post-Peter Green transitional period. It starts off with a set of four songs by Christine with the band with whom she recorded her solo record. The four songs are "Hey Baby," "It's You I Miss," "Gone Into the Sun," and "Tell Me You Need Me." Any list of all of Christine's songs should have those. (I personally think "Gone Into the Sun" is a great, great song.)

Much of the rest of the compilation consists of live recordings, some of which feature vocals by Christine. Some of the live songs she sings also appear as studio recordings, but there is one live song ("Lonely Without You") that to my knowledge isn't on any of her studio recordings, so I'd include that on a definitive list, too.

Here is some info on the comp: http://discog.fleetwoodmac.net/discog.php?pid=403.

By the way, the compilation also includes that fabulous "lost" song by Danny Kirwan, "Purple Dancer."

[nicepace]

Another song to add to the list is "Come Out To Play," the unreleased track from In the Meantime.

Thanks for that information, nicepace. I might I have to call on you in the future as a Christine expert.

I'll add these songs - Hey Baby; It's You I Miss; Gone Into the Sun; Tell Me You Need Me; Lonely Without You - in a poll by themselves titled Madison Blues, after her Chicken Shack songs and before the Christine Perfect album.

I'll add "Come Out to Play" to the In the Meantime poll.

Anything else Ledgies, let me know! :cool:

[jbrownsjr]

I think it's a fantastic list. Thanks for posting this. I better get to work.

[MacShadowsBall]

I'll get the first poll for Christine's Chicken Shack songs tonight. Please read the first post in this thread for contest rules/regulations. I hope we get a lot of Ledgie turn out for this contest. I don't think this forum gets noticed much.

:cool:

[MacShadowsBall]

Still need to name what this collection shall be called.

Over and Over, So Excited, and Just Perfect have all been suggested by Ledgies so far. I've been calling it "The Definitive Christine McVie Collection".

:cool:

[MacShadowsBall]

Just Perfect: The Definitive Christine McVie Collection is the official name of this contest and the 18 songs that will arise over the next months.



Mystery to Me, Heroes Are Hard to Find - 1973/1974
Poll #6 - Why; Believe Me; Just Crazy Love; The Way I Feel; Come Little Bit Closer; Heroes Are Hard to Find; Prove Your Love; Bad Loser

aleuzzi, jbrownsjr, nicepace, and others...

Should we credit "Keep on Going" from Mystery to Me to Christine? I know Welch wrote it, but Christine does lead vocals on it. We have included a few songs sung my Christine but written by others. :shrug:

Yes! This is the criteria I suggested earlier in this thread, which you agreed was good:
"any studio or live recording appearing on an official release, on which she is the lead singer (or co-lead singer). It shouldn't matter if it was recorded by Fleetwood Mac, Chicken Shack, Christine solo, or another artist."

"Keep On Going" belongs in this contest just as much as "I'd Rather Go Blind."

[nicepace]

Another non-Mac song that Christine does the lead vocal on is "Coventry Carol."

http://www.last.fm/music/Christine+McVie/_/Coventry+Carol

It came out in 1998 so maybe you could put it in with Time/The Dance.

[jbrownsjr]

Just Perfect: The Definitive Christine McVie Collection is the official name of this contest and the 18 songs that will arise over the next months.

Absolutely, she owns it.

[MacShadowsBall]

Thanks jbrownsjr and nicepace. We'll add "Keep on Going" to the Mystery to Me/Heroes poll and "Coventry Carol" to the Time/Dance poll for the contest.

For some reason I can't edit my first post on this thread, so I'll update via a new post/reply. :cool:

As I go along with the voting in the contest, I am thinking the term "Christine's BEST songs" is misleading. I really think we should be voting for the songs that we think should advance in the contest. That's different. F0r example, I might not think "I'd Rather Go Blind" is her BEST song from her 1969 solo record, but it's the one that needs to advance, if our goal here is to compile a "Definitive Christine McVie Collection."

If everybody just votes for the songs they like the best we run the risk of ending up with 18 songs from the "Rumours" lineup (or maybe 17 "Rumours" lineup songs plus "Why"). And that would not be a "Definitive Christine McVie Collection" by any stretch of the imagination.

I hope as the contest goes along, people will lobby for songs to advance and try to convince people to vote for them, as opposed to just voting. Let's make this interesting, people, not just another 2-second mindless "like" on the internet.

[MacShadowsBall]

I definitely agree with you nicepace, part of the reasoning I've been saying "Best" instead of "Favorite". As you said, we want everybody to vote for the songs that are Christine's best songs AND deserve to be on a 18 song CD, representing Christine's definitive songs. Perhaps "Best" can be confusing. Perhaps phrasing it as "Pick Christine's definitive songs from each album/poll".

I made them all multiple choice so that I not making a restriction on how many from each album/poll continue, except for the 50% miminum overall vote. One album/poll might have three songs that Ledgies vote as best/definitive while another album/poll might just get one or even none.

I look at a song like "Don't Stop" that is very disliked by Ledgie's as evidenced in the least favorite contest from 2011. However it is one of Christine's definitive songs and should be included in the 18 songs. I wouldn't want Ledgies to not vote for it because they don't "Like" it or they are tired of hearing it so much. Of course it will be narrowed down to 18 songs, so a lot of songs will be excluded - that's what is gonna be interesting when we get to Round 2 in a month or so.

Sidetracking, but with Lindsey I don't like Big Love and Tusk, but they are two of Lindsey's definitive songs - I can't stand to listen to them, but that's not the point! I will vote for them when the time comes.

So yeah I agree with you nicepace. Everybody should vote for what you feel are Christine's definitive songs from her entire catalog. :cool:

You may also want to consider her guest vocal on the song "Can't Feel the Pain" by Brent Bourgeois (Eponymous), 1990.

There seems to be a bootleg type of set of 3 CDs titled All Things Christine making the rounds. It even has some Chicken Shack. I had no interest in it as I had it all on official releases. I don't think they're selling it but it had a CD tray and front and back cover to a booklet. Didn't even have the obscure tracks like Come Out To Play or Gone Into The Sun (which is on the Complete Blue Horizon thing).

I thought Come Out And Play dated from the 1984 solo album but can't seem to find that info now if it was.

3 CD's would be to easy for us! One makes it harder and yet more fun. Interesting box set idea, though

Q Magazine is promoting its new issue with It's You I Miss.

[MacShadowsBall]

Well Ledgies we are approaching the end of Round 1 of the definitive Christine contest. Currently 21 songs officially move on in the contest. We have two polls active for the Behind the Mask era and Time. I'll post the last polls for In the Meantime Friday and Saturday.

Since we most likely will end Round 1 with around 28 songs, I'm considering another poll(s) using the songs that got at least 40% votes. With two polls currently open, here are the songs that got 40%.....Tango didn't have any 40% songs and Behind the Mask, Time, and In the Meantime don't count yet.


Crazy 'Bout You Baby - 46%
Did You Ever Love Me - 43%
World Turning - 44%
Love in Store - 48%
Wish You Were Here - 48%
The Challenge - 42%
One in a Million - 42%
The Smile I Live For - 46%
Save Me - 45%
Come Out to Play - 47%


So perhaps two "extra" polls for these songs? Or just go with what we've been doing? Remember the idea is to arrive at a CD's worth of songs, i.e. Christine's definitve 18 songs.

Let me know what you guys think! :cool:

Crazy 'Bout You Baby 6; 46%
Did You Ever Love Me 10; 43%
Heroes Are Hard to Find 8; 40%
World Turning 14; 44%
Never Forget 9; 41%
Love in Store 13; 48%
Wish You Were Here 13; 48%
The Challenge 10; 42%
One in a Million 10; 42%
The Smile I Live For 11; 46%


So perhaps two "extra" polls for these songs? Or just go with what we've been doing? Remember the idea is to arrive at a CD's worth of songs, i.e. Christine's definitve 18 songs.

Let me know what you guys think! :cool:

I vote two extra polls... why? they are fun.. also, we get to save some great tunes that were eliminated...

[applebucked]

I agree with two polls too. Those are some great tunes up there.

[MacShadowsBall]

Thanks, jbrownsjr and applebucked. I think I'll just do one poll with the top 10 runners-up instead of two polls.

Check post #33 for the 25 songs confirmed to move forward in the "Just Perfect: The Christine McVie Collection" contest. :cool:

Well as shock to me and others, no songs meet the 50% requirement for Christine's underachievers poll. Heck only one song got past 40%, Did You Ever Love Me.

See the post above for the breakdown of the seven polls for Round 2, which starts tomorrow with Christine's Pre-Fleetwood Mac songs. :cool:

[MacShadowsBall]

So, I've been thinking about the possible outcomes of Round 2 as it advances. We could very well end Round 2 with less that 18 songs. Remember the 50% rule so some polls could maybe not have a winner or just one winner. I don't know. Once Poll #7 closes, we'll have a count of all the songs that meet the 50% requirement. If that number is below 18, the songs that got 40% in Round 2 will be in one or two "Underachievers" poll to fill out the 18 song collection.

Then again Round 2 could end with like 22 songs, then the contest would advance to Round 3.

The Rumours/Tusk poll will be posted tomorrow - basically a new poll on the even numbered days. :cool:

Thank you both for your advice and participation. We still got more weeks ahead! :cool:

[MacShadowsBall]

At the present time, the early years and '75 Mac/Rumours poll have all songs at 50%. We mostly like will have a Round 3.

Polls are still open. The Tusk/Mirage poll will be posted today. :cool:

[applebucked]

With Chris' long tenure in the band + her solo work, it's not surprising.

[redbird]

Wish I hadn't missed the 71-74 polls, so many of my favorite Christine songs there. Ah well, my own fault.

Ledgies we are fast approaching the end of the "Just Perfect: The Definitive Christine McVie Collection." Here are the songs we have so far and a few other matters to decide and complete.

1. Get Like You Used to Be - Chicken Shack, 1968
2. I'd Rather Go Blind - Christine Perfect, 1970
3. Spare Me a Little - Bare Trees, 1972
4. Why - Mystery to Me, 1973

15. Love Shines - 25 Years: The Chain, 1992
16. Friend - In the Meantime, 2004
17. Calumny - In the Meantime, 2004

We still have 3 more slots available. The In the Meantime poll closes Saturday. If three songs from that poll make 50%, then we have our 18 songs. If not, then I'll do one runner-up poll from the Round 2 top underachievers - Don't Stop (46%) and Got a Hold on Me/Isn't It Midnight (42%).

We need to make this an actual collection/album with some graphics and liner notes. If any Ledgie(s) are interested, let us know. We need to decide on the sequence of this album - either chronilogical or something else.

This really is an awesome list of songs (even though Don't Stop isn't on it, yet :p) . I have this list on my Spotify account. I also plan to make a CD of these songs.

Anyother ideas/suggestions let us know...:cool:

[nicepace]

I'd like to suggest that you could solve a couple of problems by increasing the final number of songs to 20. I think "Don't Stop" needs to be on this. I also think it is appropriate for one song (at least) from each of her solo albums to make the final cut, thus I believe "Got a Hold on Me" needs to be on this. Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with the track list. I think one Chicken Shack song being on this is a very good thing, and three songs from her pre-Rumours-era FM output is not too bad.

If this were a REAL Christine McVie comp -- put out professionally by a record company -- what it would also have is a previously unreleased track, either something from the vaults or a NEW song recorded by Christine specifically for the comp. This is the way record companies get people who already have all the songs to buy a release like this. Too bad our little project won't be able to have this!

[Dex]

I'm inclined to agree with nicepace. I really appreciate that MSB really stuck to his own rules throughout this contest, but looking at the list of songs now... I think Don't Stop is a pretty glaring omission. It just seems farcical not to have it in a collection that calls itself "Definitive". Although in fairness, I don't think I voted for Don't Stop either, so I guess I'm part of the problem. ;) I suppose it's possible it'll squeeze in at the end of the game, though.

I didn't really pay much attention to the second poll rounds... How did the Christine McVie album get completely axed? The way the polling was set up it seemed like every album/era would receive some representation in the final cut.

[MacShadowsBall]

I agree about Don't Stop and Got A Hold on Me being in this set. However, we're keeping the set at 18 songs since that is the usual amount of songs that can fit on a CD, which of course is the main idea - all of Christine's best/definitive songs on 1 CD.

The new/unreleased song isn't a bad idea, but I think songs like Get Like You Used to Me, I'd Rather Go Blind, and Love Shines qualify as perhaps rare and new. Very diverse set of songs, though I wanted Temporary One to bridge the gap between '92/2004 and to have a live song on this compilation.

It's looking like Friend and Calumny most likely will move forward bringing the number to 17. At that official point, we do a poll with Don't Stop, Got a Hold on Me, Isn't it Midnight to fill that final slot. I might move Don't Stop and Got A Hold on Me anyway making it 19 songs. Then doing a "reverse" poll in which we vote to remove another song to make room for Don't Stop/Got a Hold on Me.

I do find it odd that potentially two songs from In the Meantime could be on this set, while nothing from the '84 album is. The only song from the '84 album to get to Round 2 was Got a Hold on Me, though The Challenge, One in a Million, and The Smile I Live For was in an underachievers poll. Nonetheless, nothing from that poll reached 50%.

We'll continue to discuss it out tomorrow as the In the Meantime poll doesn't close until tomorrow night. :cool:

[MacShadowsBall]

We got 17 songs as Friend and Calumny won in Round 2.

To simplfy things, Isn't it Midnight is officially out. Tomorrow night, I'll post the poll asking whether you think Don't Stop, Got a Hold on Me or BOTH songs should move forward. The option that gets the highest percentage will be way it will be done. If the BOTH option wins, Ledgies need to pick a previous winner to remove to make room for BOTH songs. :cool:

[MacShadowsBall]

Don't forget also we need to work up some liner notes and graphics for this album. Also track sequencing needs to be decided! :cool:

[MacShadowsBall]

@2014 Rhino Records

The tracklist for JUST PERFECT: The Definitive Christine McVie Collection is nearly complete. I'm so sorry, but I need to bump "Love Shines" off the record. Its bland, banal sound just kills the end of this compilation. I've chosen to replace it with "Oh Daddy", one of the most haunting Fleetwood Mac tracks ever recorded. For fans who hate this decision, there are NUMEROUS stellar Christine songs left off this compilation that could replace "Love Shines" including--------------"Warm Ways", "Honey Hi", "Love In Store (a minor hit)", "The Smile I Live For", "Just Crazy Love", "Only Over You", etc..... IN ADDITION, what about the idea of having Christine record a NEW TRACK for this compilation. Many definitive/greatest hits collections have a NEW TRACK included at the end. It's a great selling point........HEY, I KNOW I'M BLURRING THE LINES OF REALITY HERE !!! LOL

Oh well, time to get the liner notes and sequencing list ready. What about an album cover photo....? Do we go vintage Chris, or a more recent shot of our keyboarding chanteuse ???

I was kinda thinking recent pic of Christine on the cover, but vintage pics inside. :cool:

[WatchChain]

I was kinda thinking recent pic of Christine on the cover, but vintage pics inside. :cool:

For the LINER NOTES, are you going with the standard biography outlining her contributions to modern blues and popular music? What about a section in the LINER NOTES using QUOTES that describe Christine from famous people that she's worked with throughout her 45 year career?-----including Mick Fleetwood, Steve Winwood, Russ Titelman, Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Billy Burnett, Spencer Davis, Christopher Cross, etc...

Also, I think Chris should re-record a soft piano version of "Come A Little Bit Closer" expressly for this project (with Stevie Nicks & Lindsey Buckingham on background harmony vocals).

I can't wait for JUST PERFECT: The Definitive Christine McVie Collection to be released.
