The City-6
For Your Love-5
Somebody-3
Forever-2

Now it's on to round 3. Here are the remaining songs:

Emerald Eyes
Believe Me
Just Crazy Love
Hypnotized
Forever
Keep On Going
Miles Away
Somebody
For Your Love
Why

Round 3- "For Your Love"
 

round 3: For Your Love
 

Often skip this one.

Round 3: FOR YOUR LOVE
 

Well, since it IS a cover, albeit a FANTASTIC re-arrangement by Bob Weston, I guess it is the logical choice as the next one to say goodbye.

This is going to get really ugly...apprehension of the nastiness looms.

Round 3- Forever
 

The Bass line in Miles Away is 50 times better danme it!

Round 3 For Your Love
 

I think it sounds more dated than the rest.

Round 3 - For Your Love
 

...........................

Round 3: For Your Love
 

..........

Round & Round #3: "Keep On Going".
 

Pretty usual '70s string arrangements on it, if you ask me.

Round 3 - For Your Love
 

Round 3: For Your Love
 

Well, I'll follow the crowd this time & vote for For Your Love, even though I like it better than "Miles Away" & "Somebody".

Well, let's see..the album was released in 1973...so yeah, it WOULD have your "usual '70's string arrangement". ;)

okay, For Your Love.

-Lis

For Your Love, I guess.

3 for your love

For Your Love
 

Possibly the most needless post I ever made :p

This round was a landslide. :D After just barely hanging on the first 2 rounds, For Your Love finally got the boot.

For Your Love-12
Forever-1
Keep On Going-1

Somebody-voting club member here. Get rid of it. :wavey:

Round 4: Miles Away
 

You're all a bunch of damned morons. Voting off "Somebody" & "Keep On Going"?!

What a bunch of stupid loons. What a bunch of rank, spur-galled dewberries ... a bunch of venomed, fly-bitten varmints ... a passel of clouded, dizzy-eyed barnacles ... wayward, folly-fallen pumpions ... tottering, clapper-clawed moldwarps!!!

Honest to Christ ... what is with you artless, witless, fat-kidneyed gudgeons?

You're a fool for trying to get rid of one of FM's best tracks EVAH! That's it. I have no fancy insults. :shrug:


Wait, wait--I do have a lame one I got from my brother's Shakespearean Insults Magnetic Poetry. You Lord of Mildew! (That was the best we could make with the stuff we were given). :distress:

do you really like "Miles Away" that much? Hmmm. . . maybe I should go back & listen to it.

But Christine McVie singing "Keep On Going" -- that's the very essence ... the QUINTESSENCE, if you will ... of Fleetwood Mac!

"Quintessence" is a interesting word, by the way. First seen in writing sometime in the fifteenth century, it meant "substance latent in all things, the extraction of which was one of the objects of alchemy"; thus, by extension, it acquired the meaning, by the sixteenth century, "most essential part."

The Latin is, of course, "quinta" ("fifth") "essentia" ("essence") -- referring, in mediaeval alchemy, to the fifth primary body besides the base four elements: earth, fire, air, water. So the "quintessence" was the fifth essence: the chemical essence derived from earth, fire, air, & water.

To extend the trope connotatively in Fleetwood Mac's direction, the four base elements (John, Mick, Lindsey, Stevie) remain the base essences; but Christine McVie is the "fifth" essence, derived from the other four in such a way as to alchemically generate the splendor & magic of the separate parts -- for without the fifth essence, the other four remain base.

Yes! I have a CD I made of my all time favorite Fleetwood Mac songs and that one is included.

Well, there was no way I was voting that one off so early.

You see that's where I stopped reading. :laugh:

Damned straight! :eek: Best bass line McVie ever played...EVER!

Killer lead guitar work by Bob Weston, great lyrics, vocal delivery & acoustic guitar work by Bob Welch, great harmonies from Christine & Weston, and Mick was definitely on his game throughout this entire album. "Miles Away" one of the HIGHLIGHTS of the Mystery To Me album.

I agree with you! (see post about Keep On Going in CM forum)

i voted Somebody because it was simply gone by the time i got here

as i said, "You might need Somebody" oooooohhooooooohooohhhohh

I love "Miles Away." It has that artsy/college/indie rock vibe that I absolutely love.

Round 4 is history as is Somebody.

Somebody-10
Keep On Going-2
Believe Me-1
Miles Away-1
