I actually enjoyed that CD

I agree. Though I love Elton, this was a big mistake

dixie chicks covering "landslide"~

I agree with Gerald & the others: Elton John's Don't Stop. Not only is it a stain on Fleetwood Mac's legacy, it's a stain on Elton John's.

you have me interested...where can I hear it?

I second that. I tried youtube, but surprise, surprise...no luck

It's on the Rumours tribute album: Legacy: A Tribute to Rumours. It's commercially available but probably easiest to find (and cheapest) on amazon marketplace. That's where I got it.

This surprises me! This is one of my favourite Mac covers. Then again, I love the Dixie Chicks. Do others dislike this one?

For country artists I think the "misjudged" covers are probably Waylon and Willie's Gold Dust Woman and also Waylon's solo version of Rhiannon. Those 2 guys are great, I just wasn't keen on their versions of the songs.

That's really the only FMac (or FMac related) cover (that I've HEARD, that is) that makes me violently ill (especially since Eva Cassidy's version was around at the time; why Mick didn't use hers is just mind boggling).

Oh...wait....there's also Kenny Wayne Shepard's version of "Oh Well"...somebody should've amputated his fingers afterwards. (The only version of "Oh Well" I've heard that I didn't like...not just "didn't like", not just "hate", but LOATHE!!!!

I thought those were great!!! Along with Rusty Weir's versions of Lindsey's "Lola (My Love)" & "Don't Let Me Down Again" and Stevie's "Think About It" (Rusty's version pre-dates Stevie's own by about 5 years)

Well, compared to Duncan Sheik's "Songbird", I'll take Elton's "Don't Stop" every time...but, yeah, it isn't the best cover I've heard. Even KC & The Sunshine Band's version of "Don't Stop" is a billion times better than Elton's.

I love that album! Sure, some tracks are pretty rough (sound like somebody put the sheet music in front of the band and recorded their first take!), but most are extremely inventive...I just think the BUDGET for the album was just too low...had they had more financial backing, the quality of the recordings probably would've been much better.

i have to go with Kids Incorporated version of Go Insane. Well in a more broad sense, their cover of most anything is god awful. But given what the song is supposed to mean, they really bastardized it.

I still stick by Hole's cover of Gold Dust Woman. D: That video on Youtube has more views than all but one (the one w/ Stevie solo and Sheryl Crow) of FM/Stevie's GDWs!

I even love it. It rejuveniled my love for Camper van Beethoven and it's spin off Cracker. I still follow their careers closely.

That's actually a better tribute to FM than Micks's tribute to Rumours thing. At least it has imo BEST FM-cover ever: The Gourds' I Know I'm Not Wrong.

that was my fav off that album :thumbsup:
really cool

Agreed - hands down it it the worst FM cover ever but having said that they do a much worse job on the Beach Boys, Mamas & Papas & Eagles tracks. Got to be the worst album ever.

At the risk of being controversial (as she's dead) - I hate the Eva Cassidy version of Songbird. Sorry I don't like it at all.
