DISCUSSION: Other Christine songs not already considered
 

Like Ricky?

Well, thats 1 song so far...

Temporary One :)

Heart of Stone!

Love Shines!

I think that technically does not fall within the scope of Rumours lineup Christine songs since it features Billy Burnette (and Rick too?) but not Lindsey.

Here are a couple more...

-One More Lonely Night

-The Farmer's Daughter (yes, it has 3-part harmonies throughout, but Christine is singing the main melody line).

-Get Like You Used to Be (it hasn't been released officially to the best of my knowledge, but the Rumours-era live versions seem to be definitive to me)

-Can't Help Falling in Love (there's no Stevie on this one, but then again there are also no non-Rumours members on this one either, so it's arguably the same lineup as half of Tango in the Night)

Heart of Stone counts. This battle represents all 3 eras, so yes Heart of Stone counts. I just put this thread in this forum, since this is the "main" FM forum. Pre-Rumours, Rumours, and Post-Rumours era songs can count.

Here's the list so far...
1. Ricky
2. Temporary One
3. Heart of Stone
4. Love Shines - my fav!
5. One More Lonely Night
6. Farmers Daughter - needs to count somewhere, can be changed if objected to
7. Get Like You Used to Be - never heard of this one
8. Can't Help Falling in Love - is this an Elvis cover?

The top 4 I can confirm, we'll wait for others to reply about the last 4. Remember no demo recordings.

Can't Help Falling In Love is an Elvis cover, yeah. It's beautiful.

Heart of Stone and Love Shines.:woohoo:

What a lovely song. How exactly did the FM recording come about?

It's not an FM recording as such, it's off the soundtrack for the film A Fine Mess and Lindsey and Richard produced it.

As Long As You Follow

I'm sorry, but that song won't be eligible for this poll. :sorry:

I forgot about "As Long As You Follow" Thanks, holidayroad. ;)

Yes, it's credited to Christine solo. But it is arguably FM sans Stevie which, like I stated, is pretty much the same as half of Tango. And it is arguably more "Fleetwood Mac" than anything Fleetwood Mac released after 1987!! :eek:

I say forget about Farmer's Daughter cause Brian Wilson wrote that ne, and it is a 3-part harmony

Updated List
 

'Get Like You Used To Be' was a song with Chicken Shack. She sang a version of it live with FM.

That song won't count either. :sorry:

Although, "Get Like You Used To Be" pretty much was a Fleetwood Mac concert staple from the time Christine joined the band on the Kiln House tour through most of '75/76. So....:shrug:....I would have no bitch about it being included.

Yes, "Can't Help Falling In Love" IS credited only to Christine, but like somebody said, it for all intents IS Fleetwood Mac without Stevie. (and the recording of the song was the catalyst for the Tango album).

As is "Roll With Me, Henry" her Etta James cover that is on a various artist "Rhythm & Blues" CD (it's the BTM incarnation of Fleetwood Mac minus Stevie Nicks; however, famed sax player Steve Douglas plays on the track, so a "Stevie" DOES appear on the song :shrug::thumbsup:...and it is a duet with Billy)

The official title of her "new" song off the Live album is "One More Night" (although "lonely" is part of the lyric, it is NOT part of the title)

Being that the three writers each had one "new" song on the Live album, Stevie with "Fireflies", Christine with "One More Night", that would default "Farmer's Daughter" to be Lindsey's contribution...and should probably fall under the "Other Lindsey Songs" category.

Yeah, Lindsey was the big Beach Boys fan in the band and wrote a few songs with that kind of arrangement. Christine just had the clearest soft singing and that's why she took the main melody I guess.

Very much appreciate your input and knowledge about those songs chiliD, however I can't see adding those songs to this poll. :sorry:

But you make a very good point about "Farmers Daughter" giving it to Lindsey. That song definitely needs to be counted somewhere since it was on a FM official release. I was going to do a Favorite Collaboration Battle, but me and a few others feel that "The Chain" would kill that poll! But I might do it anyway, and put "Farmers Daughter" there.

I think Roll With Me Henry should be considered, even if none of the others aren't.

Discussion Update
 

Here's the songs eligible now for the poll...

1. Ricky
2. Temporary One
3. Heart of Stone
4. Love Shines
5. One More Night
6. As Long As You Follow

Are there any other songs, besides the ones declared ineligible, that should be considered?

Looks ok to me. :thumbsup:

Great I'll get it started on it right now! :D

You guys forgot "You & I Part One"

Part II went to Lindsey, so I suppose Part I would go to Lindsey's "extra" songs.
