Fleetwood Mac songs you never tire of (Album Versions)
 

What songs do you never tire of when they come up on your Ipod or on a Mix CD in the car??

1. The Chain- This song is just amazing. I remember someone on here quoting it as "The Chain is my religion." This song IS Fleetwood Mac. Each member shows off their unique capabilities in this song IMO.

2. Gypsy- This is Fleetwood Mac magic. This song sounds so different to me than other Fleetwood Mac songs. All I can say is that it is pure magic.

3. You Make Lovin Fun - The melody on this song is just so great. Although, I would have liked them to keep Stevies original high harmonies. The guitar at the end is just phenomenal. I love how Linday plays it at the end.

4. Eyes of the World - I just love this song. It is one of Lindsey's best IMO. I love the added harmonies in the chorus by Stevie and Christine. Really rocks...love SYW tour version.

5. Never Goin Back Again - IMO, the album version is just incredible. I hate how he slows it down live. I LOVE the quick 2 minute verison on Rumours. Its such a catchy riff at that speed. That is Lindsey Buckingham fingerpicking at its best.

6. Isn't it Midnight - This song is so great because it is very different from many of Christines songs, IMO. I love the keyboards on the chorus and the chorus itself. I have loved this song ever since I heard it on the TITN video. The guitar solo at the end is one of Lindsey's best.

7. Affairs of the Heart - Kind of an oddball to throw in at the end, but this is one of the first FM songs I heard and I love it to this day. I think the keyboards make the song, but Stevie sounds very pretty. Great song!

So what are yours?

I'll second Gypsy & Isn't it Midnight! Just offhand.... Why, Landslide, Dreams, Beautiful Child, Honey Hi, Angel. :thumbsup:

There was a time when I listened to nothing but BC and Why on repeat. The harmonies on Dreams never lose their magic, and Angel is just too upbeat to ignore.

Yeah for me it's

Gypsy
Angel

Silver springs

the guitar parts on Silver Springs are incredible you can really hear it on the Rumours Classic Album video on VH 1

The Chain, Gypsy, Gold Dust Woman, The Ledge, Why, Say You Love Me. They'll never lose what's special about them. :nod:

Sara- without question the QUINTISENNTIAL Fleetwood Mac song and sound. It's all there in this tune.


Gypsy-same thing as above

Songbird- Christine McVie's crowning achievement in my opinion

Landslide- It applys to all of us in that no one ever gets younger

Gold Dust Woman- Always will be very special to me in that it was the very first exposure I ever had to Fleetwood Mac as a 6 year old boy, almost 30 years ago.:shocked: :rolleyes:

Sara (that's actually unfair because I never get tired of any version)

Go your own way ( actually I prefer the studio to the live versions)

amazingly: Rhiannon :shrug:

Angel (even though I 'd kill to have one single live version of that song)

Really really. I love it. :nod:

:xoxo: someone has to.:xoxo: :laugh:

i'm happy to wave the NQA banner!

I know!! I swear I have MUCH love for this song!!!

The whole concept of the song? yeah. I've had that relationship.

and I adore the :
"so how can you say, well, I don't know what love is? you haven't and you have no time for it" .
a$$hole, you've never even been in love-so don't tell me how "I" feel!!!
and then the following line "you feel completely indifferent"
I only wish I could be indifferent sometimes. But I usually can't :distress:

"i don't kno-ow..the cooold wiiiiiiiind dooooesn't get-choo anymooooooooooorrre"

I could go on and on. I LOVE it!!!

Most songs, really, I never tire of. I can listen to Stevie/FM all day and all night, then the next night too, then that whole year, then the next year, and the next, infinity forever. etc.

But one that stands out because it seems like I should tire of it, but never do, ever, for years, maybe for one second that one time, but mostly never:

Stand Back.
I guess the first loves are the deepest, or something similarly cheesy.

Other ones that I should be tired of but never am: SDMHA, Edge.

and all the rest, but I just said these ones because for all I've heard them, I should be tired of them.

I also enjoy NQA. The chorus dives into a beautiful, dark tinged little melody line that speaks to my soul/ear.
Also contains favorite lines "well it's, hard to be civil, and it's real hard to be nice" which always struck me as a bit genius, not because of something esoteric and complicated, but because it simply conveys something we all can recognize, but we've probably never said it that way out loud. It is also cool the way she sings those lines. For some reason I like to sing "It's hard to be Sybil, and it's real hard to be nice".:laugh: Wait, I figured out the reason. It's because I'm a dork. But there are lots of times where it is hard to be civil, and real hard to be nice, and I am astonished when people (especially my love) can accomplish both in those situations. Just like Stevie says. :)

I never tire of any of 'Tusk', 'Bare Trees' or 'Say You Will', everything else I tire of pretty quickly.

Give me a few days, and I'll tire of everything Lindsey, I tire of Christine solo after less than 10 minutes of listening, and Stevie I rarely tire of - unless its on 'Wild Heart' or 'Rock A Little', then I get quite bored quite quickly...

Nor worries mate!:wavey:

Fleetwood Mac: I've never been tired of anything. I don't listen to pre-Rumours stuff and if I did, I might get tired of that, cause I'm not into that at all... Been tired of a few solo efforts though - but I come around after putting them away for a few months/years. Like Wild Heart. I just listened to that whole cd for the first time right through in probably a few years and it stuck me that IT'S REALLY GOOD! So I was probably tired of it at some point... but now I like it again.

Not in order except for the first two:

Storms
Destiny Rules
Over and Over
Miranda
Beautiful Child
Little Lies
Seven Wonders
Oh Well part 1 & 2
Everybody Finds Out
Tango in The Night
Brown Eyes
Albatross
Walk a Thin Line
That's alright
Goodbye Baby


Romy

Its not that good - like Lisa said, its a bit of a snore. Stevie's TISL and 'Bella Donna' are perfection, everything else I like bits and peices of...

This is gonna sound crazy, but Welcome to the Room Sara...... I could listen to it for days....:nod:

yeah. That does sound crazy.

Not as crazy as listening to that dreck, "No Questions Axed".

seriously. Dont crack on NQA. I WILL take you down! :laugh: that song has special meaning to me so :p *right now it's hard to be civil and it's REAL hard to be nice :mad: ;)

wasn't that the early-90's hip hop version by stevie's cousin, shaniqua nicks?

yes..but it went something like this:

"n*gga when I seeeee him
I'm gonna put a cap in his a$$"

and

"he want me to be his baby momma
he want it riiiiigght noww...."

and the new name is "no questions axed, b*tch"


god you've gotta do something about your signature :laugh:

That's her. Man, that Shaniqua had some killer boobies!:thumbsup:

What would you expect, with stevie having a vagina of death?

LMAO..... Michelle, that is great. LOVE IT!!!!

Hope You All, Have A Happy Holiday!!!

All of them except The Chain and Go Your Own Way.
