What songs would you like FM to do covers of?

[I'msoAfraid95]

Are there any songs that you'd like FM to cover? Would it depend upon who's doing the singing? Different songs for the different voices?

This is just something that popped into my head after reading about Mick's blues band doing a cover of "These Boots were made for Walking".

[michelej1]

They may do Farmer's Daughter to close, if they like. Other than that NO COVERS. Only songs written by those three songwriters. No other songs from outsiders, no other songs from former FM members. This means no Blue Letter either.

Too little time left in this life.

NONE. No covers. Not needed. Too many songs of their own to play.

[Angel69]

They have enough songs of their own

[louielouie2000]

Yeah, no covers. The harmonies on Farmer's Daughter were lushly gorgeous, but there so many Fleetwood Mac-penned songs I'd rather hear than any cover.

Run So Far: Eric Clapton (written by and featuring George Harrison). For Stevie with Christine.

Along the grand tradition of Fleetwood Mac Fan Pipe Dreams, they could do a different cover each night, just for fun, just for sheer love of the music.

Hahahah.

Anyway somewhere in my personal La La Land I nurture dreams of hearing Chris sing some Dusty Springfield.

[ChickenStu]

None. I think the Mac are kind of "above that" if that makes sense.

[Macfanforever]

What songs would you like FM to do covers of? None of above.They got to check their demo collections.They probably have plenty to chose from.

Id they cover some tunes.Pick a popular tune.Not those oddball tunes .

For Your Love

Oh wait...that sucked. No Covers please.

Blue Letter

That fit their style and kicked ass.

[ryan4136]

Blue Letter is acceptable.

[I'msoAfraid95]

Who did the original version of Blue Letter?

[Dex]

I think people are mis-reading this as "Which covers would you like to be added to FM's concert set"? The band could do a cover without bumping something from their set. They could go on BBC Live Lounge and do something totally left-field and brilliant.

Honestly, does anyone genuinely wish Stevie Nicks's rendition of At Last didn't exist, and that she just sang Rhiannon that night instead or something?

I always thought a ragged Nicks-led vocal of Diamonds are Forever (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFSAWiTJsjc), with Lindsey doing an intense guitar arrangement, would be brilliant. And add a considerable old-and-bitter-jilted-lover edge to the song. In my head the whole thing is flawless and adds a lot of dimension to the lyrics.

[LB Freakazoid]

I would love to hear some covers from FM.... Especially from this blues band from England in the late 60's.... I hear that Mick and John are real familiar with this band's music too!

[HomerMcvie]

If they're adding 8 or so Christine songs, WHERE THE HELL will they have room for covers?:confused: :mad: :lol:

[SteveMacD]

I think if Stevie refuses to give "her songs" to the band for a new album, which was previously the case and may still be the case even with Christine back, then it becomes a matter practicality.

I can't see Stevie refusing to give her songs, but even if she did the other two wouldn't need to resort to covers.

On the next tour they should, like Coldplay did, hand out flashing wristbands and open the concert with a cover of Pitbull's "Timber" with their on Fleetwood Mac sound.

Imagine Christine's keyboard instead of the harmonica.

(with a little change in the lyrics)
"It's going down, we're yelling timber
You better move, you better dance
(Here Stevie would do her little lasso dance move)
Let's make a night you will remember
We'll be the one you won't forget"

Instead of the woooaah add some Lindsey guitarr solo.
Add some Stevie tambourine playing and a couple of twirls.

LET'S GET THE PARTY STARTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1:blob1:

JUST KIDDING!!!!!!!:lol::lol:

Never mind my bad sense of humor.....:cool:

[SteveMacD]

I'd love to hear Christine throw a few lines from "The Long And Winding Road" into "Songbird."

[Silver23]

Not to piss anyone off here, but I would like them to cover something for the Billboard series on Youtube.

I don't know any current songs (from TOP 40 charts) that would sound good with a FM touch to them though. If they did not have to stick within TOP 40 perimeters, then maybe something by Kimba, Florence and the Machine, Haim, or Vampire Weekend.

Otherwise individual songs like,

"My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark" by Fall Out Boy
"Sweater Weather"-The Neighborhood


The Timber idea is hilarious though, however, I highly doubt any of Fleetwood Mac would be able to replicate Pitbull's horrid MC-ing skills.

I didn't have a solution for the rap part but of course Mick should do it :) he could totally pull it off :blob1:

Hahahahahahaha.I agree on Mick rapping.

If the queen of country music's Tammy Wynnette pulled it off with KLF's
Justified and Ancient (Stand By The JAMs) tune in 1991 .FM could do it today.

What a great tune.

[Angie1980]

GO TAMMY!

Had not seen that before, loved it!

I totally agree that if Tammy could do it so can FM!
Date to think outside the box :)!!!
