Three songs only!

[BLY]

If there was only three songs to take with you to that desert island what Fleetwood Mac tracks would it be? Only Three! Mine would be,

Tusk
Silver Springs (Studio version)
The Chain

I know this is not easy but try........ Only 3!

[Artemis]

Rhiannon
Silver Springs (original b side)
Beautiful child

Gold dust woman and gypsy would probably fight for contention though

Nice selection!

[bethelblues]

Family Man actually sounds like island music. It'd be very fitting and atmospheric....

[SteveMacD]

Nice selection!

Got the pop, got the "indie", got the metal. All I'd ever need.

I'll give it a go!

RhiannonGo Your Own WayAlbatross! It's not my favorite, but I love it, and it's perfect for an island. I play it every time I'm on the coast at sunset.

[secondhandchain]

Since I would not want to live alone on a deserted island and I'd be too chicken to off myself, I would pick "When I see you again". It would give me the courage to smash a coconut over my head.:] "whats a matta baby...what a matta baby" :crash:

Oh yes. Sara is so beautiful to me. It sounds really nice. The piano is perfect in that song. It hits the ears just right. Even the live versions are amazing.

[FuzzyPlum]

Rattlesnake Shake- live (at 25 minutes long it would alleviate the boredom a little)
Warm Ways (for the desert island sound)
Go Your Own Way (cant ever tire of listening to it)

I would choose one of Lindsey's tunes - practically any of them - if I were in that situation. Most of his tracks from Tusk, for example, induce suicidal ideation.

[jkmaletic]

1. Sara
2. Rhiannon
3. Thrown Down


And as Elle said about LB solo, I too would have a hard time picking 3 SN solo songs.

Jamie

[TheWILDheart]

Sara? really????? on the desert island, over and over? :lol:

Absolutely. I could happily listen to that song over and over and over every second of my life forever. It's a crime that it's only 6 minutes. The full 19 minutes should have been the whole of side 1 of Tusk.

Gypsy
Gold Dust Woman

I love most of Stevies songs. Just not the ones on that album. I might pick:

Honey hi (for its gorgeous harmonies and ending refrain which is very fitting.)
That's all for Everyone (same reason as above)
Straight back. (I love it and I don't want to bring the hit from any of them because I've heard them so much)

[bethelblues]

I've been in this situation before, kind of. I was traveling alone in isolated places abroad and had a few go-to FM songs. Actually, I was pretty close to Christine's home in Kent. My most played tracks were, unashamedly:

Dreams
Little Lies
Isn't It Midnight

[McLamb]

Here we go!

Remember Me
Over & Over
Fireflies

[Macfanforever]

Gypsy
Dreams
Sara

[goldenground]

Beautiful Child
Sara

[MikeInNV]

Wow, I've always loved "Sara" but I didn't expect it to be mentioned so often in this thread. Cool.

[bethelblues]

One can make a case that Sara is the greatest song Stevie's ever written.

[Wdm6789]

Wow, I've always loved "Sara" but I didn't expect it to be mentioned so often in this thread. Cool.



It's so soothing and melodic.

[louielouie2000]

Wow, I've always loved "Sara" but I didn't expect it to be mentioned so often in this thread. Cool.

It's weird- American Horror Story totally renewed my appreciation for that song. Anyway, here's my list.

Sara
Brown Eyes
Future Games

[louielouie2000]

As Long As You Follow

Freedom

Isn't It Midnight
Illume

Remember Me

It really makes me happy to see some of these under appreciated songs making these lists! Illume especially gets a lot of hate, and I think it's one of the coolest, edgiest, most daring songs Stevie's ever recorded. Remember Me is just so damned infectious, as are all of Christine's songs on Penguin. For that matter, all of Christine's pre '75 songs are just sheer perfection.

[chiliD]

Oh Well
Bermuda Triangle
Albatross

[He's So Unusual]

It really makes me happy to see some of these under appreciated songs making these lists! Illume especially gets a lot of hate, and I think it's one of the coolest, edgiest, most daring songs Stevie's ever recorded. Remember Me is just so damned infectious, as are all of Christine's songs on Penguin. For that matter, all of Christine's pre '75 songs are just sheer perfection.

I've always considered Illume to be one of Stevie's most mystical and magical sounding songs, especially the unusual backing vocals and the instrumentation, it also contains one of the coolest lines she's ever written - "I am a cliff dweller from the old school". In my opinion Isn't It Midnight is better than both Little Lies and Everywhere. I actually prefer some of Christine's pre-1975 songs (Why, Did You Ever Love Me, Heroes Are Hard to Find) to her songs on FM'75 and Rumours.

At least the BBC radio show Desert Island discs lets you have eight songs, a book (in addition to the Bible and the Complete Works of Shakespeare) and a luxury item. This was a tough choice. At least about 90% of the canon is burned into my cerebral cortex, anyway-all I would have to do would be to close my eyes and I could call it up....

[Ted57]

Gypsy
Go Your Own Way
Say You Love Me

[mitzo]

Beautiful Child - Live in Boston version - gorgeous slow-moving pathos, Stevie sounds heavenly, and your heart snaps as the final lines draw out

As Long as You Follow - I bet I can find a new harmony line in this song every day I am stranded on the desert island

Mystified - it's all about the atmosphere here

[lovethemac1]

Go Your Own Way

Sara

Storms

and because I just can't make up my mind fully, here's the other HM's:

Beautiful Child

:sorry:

[wondergirl9847]

LOL So difficult, but these three....I NEVER get tired of hearing. :thumbsup:

1. I'm So Afraid (Live, not White Album version)
2. Red Rover
3. Beautiful Child

[PoetofRhiannon]

Nearly impossible...

Sisters of the Moon
Gold Dust Woman
Silver Springs

[MoonSister75]

I wasn't going to join in with this, as I imagined it being far too difficult to chose. But, after much deliberation, it finally came to me....

Gypsy
Sisters of the Moon
The Chain

:)

[moon]

Well, I think it depends on how much time you spend on the island, alone... :P
But, these three are mine:

- Big Love
- I'm So Afraid (live)
- You & I (Part I)

[Macfan4life]

On an island, I would need some music to cheer me up.

Never forget tonight
Don't stop
Wish you were here
