On with the next song, please?
 

I was listening to Rumours yesterday straight through, not skiping a single track. However, once it reached Don't Stop... I was kind of like "Oh God, not that again!" For some unknown reason to me l simply just can NOT take hearing it anymore. Which is odd to me because it used to be one of my favorite songs on Rumours. :(
Has this ever happened to you?

I have started skipping all my FM stuff lately, sadly. 13 years of nothing new will do that to you. And I have sickened of living in the '70's.

Agreed, I can't stand Don't Stop its so cheesy and the fact it was involved in a political aspect makes it worse

I prefer band's to be apolitical.

I understand. 13 years of nothing new and hearing the "classics" over and over can get pretty tiresome. I hope you aren't becoming a former fan though! :(

***EDIT*** Thank you for reminding me of the EP, elle. :)

The only song I skip on Rumours is the same song I've been skipping since I first started listening to the album in 1977: "Never Going Back Again." Never really liked it, though I know the studio version of it is excellent.

Don't Stop. I loved it love it love it for years. Then I stopped loving it. Now I love it all over again. But I've only ever loved the album version. Live the song never captures that magical spirit.

wait wait.... 13 years?? was 2013 13 years ago? that was when last new FM music came out.

some people may have not liked the EP, but pretending that it never came out is kinda silly. :shrug:

I've never heard it, either. I have friends who worship the ground old goat breath walks on, and they told me to not bother getting it, that it was baa'd.

I see you are channeling Stevie. ;)

:p

HAHA! Funniest thing I've seen all night! :]

Thanks! I've been here for 13 years(and lurked even before that), and I've saved hundreds of crazy pics that people have posted. :woohoo:

May I take it? I'd like to use it as my signature photo. I will give you full credit.

Help yourself! I couldn't tell you where I got it, as it's been too long to remember. No credit needed.

Well, I'm still giving you credit, because you are my source to the photo. ;)

:lol: hehe, if we did the poll, those would be the majority of peeps who like to pretend the EP doesn't exist.

i'm surprised there's acknowledgement of the existence of Tango even.


[Bella Donna, no no, i was not referring to you, i love the new liveliness you brought up to the board! :wavey:]

No it isn't. lol

Thank you. :rolleyes:

oh you are very welcome!

(although i am confused with the rolleye? lol)

Typo. Not the emoticon I meant to use.

Fleetwood Mac is not really political. In 1995 Christine McVie went on the record in her online chat interview (gosh remember when online chat was something) and stated she would have never voted for Bill Clinton. But she was honored that a president would use her music. That is a class act! How many artists today would say the same thing. I remember in 2008 when they played Heart's Barracuda at the GOP convention (Sarah Palin was called Barracuda by her college basketball team) and Heart instantly told them to never play that song again.
When Hillary Clinton invited Fleetwood Mac to the White House in 2000 to perform, Christine McVie declined but the band still went on to play Don't Stop.

Their song was played in a political campaign but I don't make that leap Fleetwood Mac is political. They did get involved in the 1980 Senate campaign of Birch Bayh but that was because the senator helped the Mac on something.

As for the song Don't Stop. Its incredible. Its a terrific piano shuffle that was taken to another level with Lindsey. Still to this day, I turn it up on the radio. That song has helped me emotionally through many different hard parts of my life.

The songs I would skip on a FM album? Caroline and Welcome to the room Sara. And Hard Feelings from Behind the Mask LMAO :eek:

If for no other reason, the EP was decent because Sad Angel is really bloody brilliant. Indeed, it's one of Lindsey's best ever FM songs. It's a shame it's burried on the EP. I hope it will get a new lease of life one day on another release.

I'll skip Storms. I just find it kinda boring.

Re: Sad Angel
 

Sad Angel and Miss Fantasy were definite highlights of that EP and deserve to have Christine added in and placed on a new album.

I skip all of Stevie's songs on Tango. :p

As for the EP, "Sad Angel" is great, and I love "It Takes Time." I'd like to hear a version with Christine playing.

Seven Wonder is fairly decent.

On Say You Will I only ever listen to Stevie's half of the content. That project really shows why she is loathe to work with Linds again, his songs are self indulgent eewww!!s, as has been the case on every FM album he has worked on since Tusk.

On balance I'd say I was the other way. Overall I'd prefer Lindsey's songs on SYW. Each to their own.
