'75 Fleetwood Mac: Non-Hits - Round 2
 

Okay Ledgies, here's round 2 for the white album.

Crystal vs Monday Morning vs World Turning

Poll closes in 4 days. :cool:

Have to go with Crystal. Always been one of my all time favs:)

Mick

Hmm... Kind of a tough choice between these three songs. In the end I picked the one that most sounds like a cohesive band and chose World Turning.

World Turning.

I then prefer Monday Morning over Crystal, although I do like them both.

This was quite a tough choice as all three are great!

can't vote - love both Monday Morning and World Turning.

do not like Crystal.

so - i could easily pick the last one of the 3...

Crystal.. Christine's keyboard solo and harmony w/ Stevie and LB make this head and shoulders above the B/N version.

I love Stevie more than any other member of Fleetwood Mac. I just want to put that out there, so my next statement isn't taken out of context as some kind of Stevie-bashng.

Is anyone else "surprised" that the song with the most Stevie presence is winning this poll. :laugh:

I wasn't really surprised. It's not even Stevie's lead vocal yet it's winning.

I try not to put out too much of my opinion when I run these contests, with that said, I hope Stevie doesn't win every single album with a whole bunch of her songs in the finals. :sorry:

The Ledge is dominated by SN fans. Without us there would be no Ledge.:sorry: But I picked Monday Morning not because I like it better than Crystal but because that is a song I would listen to first when I listen to the white album.

:laugh: exactly why i don't like to participate in polls where songs from different songwriters are pitted against each other. the polls turn into who is the most popular songwriter among people who are registered members of the ledge - and we already know the answer to that.:angel:

so why not do a poll of different SN songs in SN forum to find the most popular of her solo songs (and i guess her mac songs in Rumours forum?), different LB songs in LB forum (we are planning to do that soon :nod:, we might do his mac songs in this forum), and CV solo songs in CV forum / her mac songs here? might get a bit more interesting and diverse results.

EDIT: of course, when MSB put a version of the option i describe above for a vote, it didn't win, so :shrug: :laugh:

I agree 100%.

I know it's just my opinion, but I don't get it. Crystal was a great standout track on Buckingham Nicks. On this Fleetwood Mac album? Not so much...I mean there's a good reason it wasn't a concert staple. Snooze....

I feel completely the opposite. I thought it was boring on the B/N album.. (which I love that album). But it just didn't have the emotional expression that the McVie's and Fleetwood give it.

When LB is singing "to the sea" I felt the keys were the waves of the ocean.. going in and out... mind you I was very young when I heard both versions... ;)

I guess I wasn't clear. What I meant was the song isn't performed live because it's a bore. Beautiful in both incarnations, yes, but utterly boring - and I'm a guy who loves sappy ballads.

On the whole BN album, Crystal is one of the better tracks, both lyrically and quality of performance. On the whole FM/FM album, Crystal is not one of the better tracks. Not that it's not good on it's own - it's just not one of the best overall. My opinion of course, but that's what I was trying to convery in my earlier post.

True the Ledge has a lot of Stevie Nicks fans. I'm not really a Stevie Nicks fan nor am I a fan of Lindsey, Christine, Mick, John, Peter, Bob B, Jeremy, Danny, Bob Welch, Dave W., Bob Weston, Billy, Rick, Dave M, or Bekka - I am a fan of the group known as Fleetwood Mac. :)


I definitely agree, but I do want people to vote and to vote for which song they geniunely like, whether that be Stevie's FM songs, Lindsey, or Christine's.

You answered your own post there elle!!

On Stevie's forum they ran a Stevie song contest comprising her FM songs and her solo songs and came up with a list of their favorite Stevie songs.

Sounds like you borrowed one of my options to do for Lindsey's FM/solo songs? That's cool. :cool:

I'm a Lindsey fan first and foremost, but I still voted for Crystal. I'm not crazy about World Turning and I wouldn't pick Monday Morning as the best song on the album either. FM Crystal is so much better than BN Crystal, so it got my vote.

Did Christine change her last name to Vie?:laugh:

I do understand completely what you mean this time. I'll have to go back and listen to it from that perspective.

Christine "Vera"

I went with Monday Morning. FM version of Crystal doesn't do for me what the BN version does. I don't like Lindsey's vocal as much and I prefer his guitar work on the BN version over Christine's keyboard.

I'm officially leaving your fan club!! :xoxo:

lol good catch. No idea what I was thinking.

That the rooms were all on fire??

I voted for Crystal because it's one of my favorite songs period, not just on the album. But Monday Morning was a REALLY close second - also one of my all time favorites, period.

I'm a sucker for the Lindsey/Christine vibe so my vote goes to World Turning. :cool:

Poll closes Friday morning.

Now, now. Don't do that! I do love Christine in so many other ways! :xoxo:

With 22 votes, Crystal wins favorite non-hit from '75 Fleetwood Mac. :cool:
