This is incredibly tough, but here are my quick choices:

Christine: So Sincere
Lindsey: Down on Rodeo
Stevie: Bombay Sapphires

It surprised me how all my choices ended up being 21st Century songs. :thumbsup: They are all also slower, deeper, more contemplative songs as well. Odd, because I usually gravitate towards the more rock-oriented end of the spectrum. :)

Lindsey: Slow Dancing
Stevie: (I agree with both Bella Donna and If Anyone Falls but just for the sake of it I'll be different and say...) Gold and Braid
Christine: (Hard to choose one- so just for the sake of it to be a bit different...) No Road is the Right Road

Actually, I was torn between Sleeping Angel and If Anyone Falls. I love the energy IAF has. And the bridge is fantastic ("So I'm never gonna see you, never gonna see you.. deep inside my heart. Oh I see your shadow against the wall...shadow against... shadow against the wall. Baby, I see your shadow against the wall.") I always play it on repeat when I'm doing housework - it keeps me going. :)

Christine: Forgiveness
Lindsey: Surrender the Rain (without the intro)
Stevie: Anabelle Lee

But the alternate list could be:

Christine: One in a Million
Lindsey: Don't look Down (with intro)
Stevie: How Still My Love

I could take your 3 easily too. As you can see from my signature, Bella Donna is a favorite of mine too. I wish we could pick top 2 or 3 because one was very hard :eek:
I almost went with Nothing Ever Changes for Stevie.

^I don't rank Got A Hold On Me as Christine's best song, but it certainly is sweet and I've always been sorry it did not get more attention. But it did get significant airplay back then. And I've heard it on the radio 20 years later too. So, it wasn't ignored. Maybe I DO think it was her best solo song. I mean, I like Calumny better, but she didn't write it. So, since this thread talked about composers, I'm not going to include a song Dan wrote.

By composer, I meant the 3 writers of FM. Blue Letter would be ok for LB. I should have worded it differently.

Love it! "So I pick myself up, 'cause I put myself down" - I hear you girl! So clever. And it's so different from her usual style. I love the "ooooh-aaaah--- Bad Journey!" hook as well. Great song.

I would pick these 3 as well.

I've been playing guitar along with Bella Donna the past few evenings(believe it or not), and BD is a great, complex song.

I love CM's 1984 album, but The Challenge would be a top pick from it.

The few times I've been able to pick up a Rick Turner Model 1 guitar, Countdown is ALWAYS the first song I start playing.

I like BuckVie a little better, only because I prefer hearing them together.

Will the Goatless Fleetwood Mac please stand up? BuckVie.

I have to give KUDOS .. .HUGE KUDOS to Dan Perfect. Christine understands who has the ability to use her material and make a product out of it. She Co-produced, as well.

I know she could do it herself; but, she loves the art of collaborating and letting things go where they want to. :nod:
