What do you don't like about your favorite album...
 

Ok, your favorite album may be Tusk, Rumours, SYW, Live, etc.. But what do you don't like about your favorite album?

Mine is Rumours, and maybe I didn't like that Silver Springs wasn't there. But I realized that when I discovered that song and the story behind it, so I guess that doesn't count.

I think I would take Songbird for the last song. And maybe include more songs in general. But maybe if they did that, Rumours wouldn't be Rumours.

My favorite FM record is The White Album (75). I wish the band had covered "Frozen Love" instead of "Crystal." Love the latter but not as much as the former.

My favortite is probably Tusk. And what I don't like about it is the cover. But I know a way to improve it! Instead of some random mutt, have a dog that signifies something; a dog with a reason for being on the cover. How about an African Wild Dog? Given that a tusk is the beautiful ivory adornment of the elephants of Africa, and the song "Tusk" has that tribal beat, it would be cool for the cover to reflect wild Africa as well. Just look at these.

And if you insist on maintaining the aggressiveness of bearing teeth, I have the perfect picture.

Yikes. I think Stevie would hate that one even more than the original.

It's really hard to pick a favourite album in the first place. I want to say Mirage, because personally I love it and listen to it a lot. But it doesn't get the recognition of some of the other albums, which are also really good and which I also listen to a lot.

Anyways...what do I hate about Mirage...Empire State

Mirage is your favourite? :shocked:

there´s nothing i dislike about my favourite albums.mr.wonderful has a bit naff cover,but otherwise it´s a great album.
live at the bbc is fantastic but why put jam version of rattlesnake shake at the start.
then play on isn´t my favourite,it would be improved by leaving searching for madge off and still it would be bit disjointed,still it has got some great songs:confused:

My favourite album is Tango.
What I don't like is that Lindsey left before the tour. I don't like that he left at all, but the fact that he, at the height of his sexyness, didn't hang around for the tour and the brilliant DVD that followed.

Also ... Mystified, Family Man and You and I don't really sit well with me.

And the fact that the song Tango in the Night was never done live. It would be awesome.

Wow ... that's quite a lot actually. Woops. :eek:

My favorite album is rumours and I don't like it that there was no silver springs on the original record.

Good question! Except I can't really choose A fave.
So far I have to agree with what some others are saying:
White Album -- "Crystal" would probably not have been my first B/N cover.
Rumours -- mainly that "Silver Springs" was left off (but who knew?).
Mirage -- I also LOVE this album! Okay, I agree with the "Empire State" choice but overall the love is there.
Tusk -- Been listening to this one alot lately. I think the fact that Lindsey's songs sound more like some kind of "sound bite break" between the wonderful Stevie and Christine compositions. Why didn't he put forth any full songs? They all have the same basic "experimenting with Mick" essence to them. Not to say I don't love them, just would have liked to see him give more like he is so capable of doing.
Tango in the Night There's something of a hidden "vibe" that they were really seperating musically. That could just be because I read the articles at the time and then Lindsey left before the tour.
Behind the Mask No Lindsey influence... gotta have that third for balance!
Time Personally, I just love the Buckingham / Nicks part of FM.
Say You Will NO CHRISTINE!! But I love the parts where she's lurking in the background. ;)

My favorite is Say You Will...
and I would probably remove Running Through the Garden and replace it with Not Make Believe.
Same for What's the World Coming To...I'd replace it With Love Minus Zero.

And I'd probably shuffle the songs around a little more so it wouldn't be two Lindsey, two Stevie, etc.

And if I had total control over "fixing" the album, I would include one or two true duets where the two of them were more or less singing together for the whole song.

My favorites:
"Live" 1980 -- it should have had more pictures & probably been a single tusk show

"Jumping at Shadows" 2002 -- the booklet shouldn't have been a foldout because it's too hard to read all the tiny print

favorite is Rumours

GDW needs more cowbell

:)

Jason, do you mean you want more cowbell gongs per measure? or do you mean you want more gain on the cowbell that's already there?

Tusk is my favorite album. I wish they used the alternate version of 'Not That Funny' that appeared on a CD-Maxi single as a bonus track to a single (I can't remember which one).

I also prefer the alternate version of Tusk used on The Chain Box Set. Love the USC intro.

That is all. The album cover ROCKS as does the complete album sleeves.

Hmm, well my favorite is Tusk, and while I cant say I dislike any song on the album, I dont love What Makes You Think You're The One, That's Enough for me, and Never Forget.
