i'm torn between Turn It On and You Do Or You Don't, although their other OOTC co-writes are pretty great too.

i have no love for their mac co-writes.

I really need to understand this co-write relationship. How did they go from such basic material to utter flawlessness?

And how can anyone select amongst all that flaw-free OOTC stuff?

I chose "You Do Or You Don't" for nostalgic purposes...and because it's incredible.

Out of those I chose Street of Dreams. I've loved that one Since day 1.....pure perfection..

Mick

I loved it live from all the recordings I've heard.

Could Lindsey even sing that live now?

I wanted to vote for Oh Diane and Surrender The Rain - so I had to flip a coin.

Oh Diane won! :D

wow, can't believe all Mirage songs got some votes, but This Is The Time which is pretty great is still at zero?!

Voted for Street Of Dreams. Amazing song. :nod:

Runner up votes to: Turn It On, YDOYD, Wrong.

I'm having a really hard time choosing....

I'm still smh over that. Oh well. :laugh:

Never really liked that one. It was the one song that stopped me from putting OOTC in the albums where you love every song thread. The way Lindsey sings on that makes me want to punch him in the face.........A little TOO erotic......ghaaaa.

Mick

I went with Surrender the Rain because that was my favorite song the first time I heard OOTC and I have continued to love it since. I feel like it's one of the more underrated songs on that album because of how strong the rest are, but it really is gorgeous!

Because it touches me on a personal level, I chose "Street of Dreams".

I also really love This is the Time and Surrender the Rain.

As favorite pop songs, Lindsey excels with You Do Or You Don't and Book Of Love.

ooohh, tough one!

I went for Book Of Love, because it's an underrated gem in my opinion. But also Street Of Dreams, Empire State, and -in a very competative way- Turn It On could have been my pick....

Turn It On live from last fall:

You Do Or You Don't live from 1992 (Lindsey first ever solo tour):

This Is The Time live from 1992:

Wrong - official video:



note magazine cover of "Rolling Bone" at 2:27 :thumbsup:

and... of course we have this version of Oh Diane:

wow - 4 songs:

Street Of Dreams
Wrong
You Do Or You Don't
Book Of Love

with 6 votes each!

(and Turn It On right behind with 5 votes!)

if it stays this way we may need to either do another poll to figure out the winner between these, or take all songs with highest number of votes against winners of some other polls into the next round.


EDIT: also noticing, with both This is the time here and Come in another poll not receiving any votes so far, that fans on these boards seem to not be that much into really rocking songs. interesting! have to say that i love these two songs and am a bit stunned at this outcome.

Now that's Lindsey Buckingham!

:nod: and... you do or you don't ftw! [or at least takes over for right now:laugh:]

I went with Street of Dreams but I think I'm more likely to listen to Book of Love. It was very close. All of the other OOTC songs weren't far behind either.

It.just.gets.more.and.more.difficult!
 

Sheesh! LOL

Okay, I chose YDOYD because of the "Summer Place" ending. One of my fave songs ever included in an OOTC tune is just.....awesomeness.

Surrender the Rain is another fave of mine and I had a hard time with those two, but the SP ending sealed the deal for me on this.

ha, i had to google that :lol:. wonder whether he knew that's what he was doing or it was just spontaneous and he didn't immediately realize where it came from? look at the veins on his neck while singing that!!

"After all, "You Do or You Don't" actually quotes a melodic line from "A Theme From A Summer Place." ("I always loved that song" recalls Buckingham. "It always takes me right back to 1960, and it just seemed to have the same emotional tone I was looking for")" - from here :)

oh wow! thanks for that info plus the link, bangdrum :wavey: - some great stuff there!! :thumbsup:

poll closing soon...
 

thinking of closing this poll soon... some time tomorrow morning possibly.

This Is The Time
 

That song was amazing live, with each guitraist (and LB had an "army" of guitarists) getting a mini solo.

5-way too-close-to-call
 

here are ongoing poll results for Buckingham-Dashut collaborations:

You Do Or You Don't - 9
Street Of Dreams - 8
Wrong - 7
Book Of Love - 6
Turn It On - 5

since all these songs are within a vote from each other we will need to continue voting for a while longer. we need a clear 2-point lead (or difference) between songs going forward.

39 people voted so far.

This Is The Time
 

yes :nod:. and - very happy to finally see not just a praise but also a vote for This Is The Time (Sleepless-Child :wavey:)!

I totally agree. YDOYD was making this tough for me though. These polls are evil :distress: Pure evil!

OK...Street of Dreams for me :nod:

Street of Dreams and You Do Or You Don't
 

Street Of Dreams and You Do Or You Don't both have 9 votes, 2 more then the next song - Wrong with 7 votes.

therefore, both Street Of Dreams and You Do Or You Don't move on to the next round.

this poll is now closed.
