M.Fleetwood 8 Favourite FM Songs
Posting this article here and in the Early Years forum.
"Walk A Thin Line" is one of my favorites as well. "Tusk" not remotely so. Mick Fleetwood Names His 8 Favourite Fleetwood Mac Songs https://faroutmagazine.co.uk/mick-fl...ood-mac-songs/ |
Its a good list. The drumming on Walk A Thin Line is so cool.
Picking favorite FM songs is really tough. There are so many eras and different singers. However he has 2 on his list that probably would be on mine too. Oh Daddy and Go Your Own Way |
This is a love letter to Lindsey - three of the eight songs are his. Three also by Peter Green, though he’s not around to see it.

I'm surprised FM didn't play more of these songs on their 2018 Tour.
They went for the Peter Green and Lindsey rock radio songs. I think Neil Finn would've sounded good on Walk a Thin Line and Tusk. |

I remember a quote from Stevie saying one of the reasons she didn’t care for the Tusk tour was because they performed a lot of songs she didn’t care for, so really I’m not surprised FM didn’t perform songs from Tusk on their last tour, other than Storms, which sadly got switched with Gypsy early on. |
Good list, even though I agree just with 50% as favorites

Neil sounded okay on Monday Morning verses but the chorus:eek: My ears! |

"That was me on drums. Mick was appalled. He was appalled that these drums were going out and people would think that it's him (sic), because it offended the finer points of his sensibilities. And I understand that. I was really going for slop. And trying to cut through the slickness in some ways.... "They're left and right drums, and the kick and snare on either side, and these militasry press fills, which is really what the song is built on. Yeah, that worked out well...." |
What do you get when you have 3 songs on M.Fleetwood 8 Favourite FM Songs list?
FIRED! |

I never fully bought the notion that Fleetwood Mac refused to let him do weird stuff after Tusk. "Eyes Of The World" has plenty of weird stuff. So do "Family Man" and "Caroline." What surprised me about learning Lindsey played the drums on "Walk A Thin Line" is that, in a c. 2006 interview, I recall him saying he doesn't play "kit drums." Perhaps he did in the seventies but, by 25-30 years later, he'd lost that skill. |

MY LIFE AND ADVENTURES IN FLEETWOOD MAC MICK FLEETWOOD WITH STEPHEN DAVIS |
Bit sneaky...this article is cut from an interview in 2012;
'My 11 greatest recordings of all time' https://www.musicradar.com/news/drum...ll-time-554519 All they've done is cut the 3 non-Fleetwood Mac songs from the list. Sneaky! |

and, we knew for a long time that WATL is one of Mick's favorite if not the favorite Rumours-era FM songs. |
The question is, how would Mick's list change, today?
