Current Favorite Album/Mirage
 
This is kind of a double post...
I myself, do not have a favorite Mac album... I change from time to time. So, for people like me, if there are any, what is your current favorite album?

Mine is Mirage

2nd part of the post, what is your opinion on Mirage...
I really enjoy Lindsey's songs on this album, his vocals are great (even if they are different/like 60's style)

My favorites of his are
Can't go back (It's very catchy)
Book Of Love (I really like this one too)
Oh Diane (a little 60's sounding, but the vocals are awsome)
Eyes Of The World (Great, awsome guitar, cool song)

Stevie favorites
Straight Back (her vocals are amazing, a favorite Stevie song for sure)
Gypsy (Of course)
That's Alright (I didn't really like it until very recentley, but it's great, the vocals, Stevie sounds great :nod: keyboards, bass, I don't really like the banjo, but...I am really starting to like it)

Christine
Love In Store (A favorite of Chris's songs)
Hold Me (Who doesn't like this song)

Good choice on the album!

My opinion:

I will defend this album until the day I die. Even though it wasn't as huge as Rumours, it's still a wonderful album. It's an album that needs to be looked at and really taken seriously. I have been prone to rooting for the underdogs. Plus, Mirage is one of those very rare albums I can listen to in its entitery (TITN being one of those also) and enjoy it.

That's my little tidbit for the day.

God bless!

Right now it's TITN for me. Because I got it for Christmas and have not yet really gotten used to it. I mean, I'd heard all the songs before a million times, but it's better hearing them on the real album.

My favorites right now:

~Isn't It Midnight - It's not just a favorite for right now, this is one of my favorite songs ever!
~Tango In The Night - Lindsey's best on the album IMO
~Welcome To The Room...Sara - I dunno what it is about it, it's just kind of a cool song. And it has lyrics from Blue Lamp.

I agree. I never have a favorite album of Fleetwood Mac's because they are all great and I switch frequently! But right now, I guess I would say TITN.

I don't know, I think I need a vacation from Fleetwood Mac for a few days because I am not too intrigued by their music today. I guess I have listened to them too much lately. I get like this sometimes and if I stop listening to them for a couple days I become completely obsessed again! It is a cycle!

Right now it's Rumours or Tusk, unless I'm allowed to count Very Best Of. (In the past I've had Live & White Album at #1, too.)
I'm also into Bare Trees again these days.

Here's my top ten now, not counting greatest hits compilations:

1. Mystery To Me(Bob & Christine together are perfection)
2. Tusk(used to be my favorite until surpassed by MTM)
3. Rumours
4. The White Album
5. Heroes Are Hard To Find
6. Bare Trees
7. Mirage
8. Tango In The Night
9. Future Games
10. Behind The Mask

I like Mirage quite alot. My favorite songs on the album are "Hold Me", "Wish You Were Here" & "Gypsy". Lindsey's songs are a bit weak, not awful, just not as good as his songs on Rumours & Tusk.

dissention 01-04-2004 10:51 AM

Right now it's "Say You Will."

Mirage- I can take it or leave it. I love all of Stevie's songs on it, one of Chris', and two of Lindsey's, the rest stink to these ears. Empire State is just awful. I do love Oh Diane, though.

In the summer I was all for SYW as my fav FM album. I go back and forth.

But right now I can't choose one. I play Tusk, Mirage and Tango the most though. I like those three the most I guess.

SYW I played soooooooooooooooo many times I need a break. I need to get away. But soon I will ache for it again.

The Dance too...needs a break LOL.

xdreamsunwindx 01-04-2004 12:01 PM

Hmm... Right now, it's Penguin. I'm shocked by the fact that I love it s much. All of Chris' songs are awesome, as usual, and I love Bob Welch's and Dave Walker's songs too. But, this is my list of my top FM albums...

-Tusk
-Mystery to Me
-Fleetwood Mac (1975)
-Mirage
-Penguin
-The Dance
-Say You Will***
-HAHTF
-Rumours
-Live
-Tango in the Night
-Bare Trees
-Future Games
-BTM/Time

Tusk and MTM will always be my favorites... The others usually just rotate on my list :).

***EDIT: Stupidstupidstupidstupid. HOW could I have forgotten SYW? That's deffinately up in my top 10. *slaps self in face*

golden braid 01-04-2004 12:50 PM

My current favorite album would probably be Tusk. I do really like Mirage too. I like all the songs except for Empire State and Only Over You.

Siri Ruane 01-04-2004 01:19 PM

Mirage is the one Rumours era album I don't have. :distress:

My current favorite album is Fleetwood Mac Live. Can't get enough of Fireflies. ;)

HomerMcvie 01-04-2004 02:03 PM

MTM will probably always be my favorite. It's wierd, I love laying by the pool, in the summer heat, listening to MTM. It's like the perfect summer music to me. It takes you away.;)
1-Mystery to Me
2-Tusk
3-Rumours
4-Mirage
5-FM Live
6-White Album
7-Tango
8-Say You Will
9-Time
10-Behind the Mask

Mirage just has a great flow. I usually listen all of the way through. "Love in Store," is a very good album opener. "That's Alright" is one of my favorite Stevie songs. It's such a different type of FM song. "Book of Love" is catchy. Who doesn't get choked up by "Gypsy?" I remember watching the video a billion times on MTV. The same goes for "Hold Me." "Wish You Were Here" is a great album closer. I can really relate to that song.

It's hard for me to pick a favorite from Mirage, Rumours, and Tusk. I guess for sheer inventiveness, Tusk gets the nod. But Mirage has a special place in my heart.

I really like SYW, but it just doesn't seem to have the flow and cohesiveness of Mirage.

I smile whenever I hear "Meet Me down by the Railway Station..."
