Lesser-Known Mac songs you adore
 
Okay, so I was trying to sleep and I couldn't, so I thought I'd listen to my iPod for a bit, since it helps me doze off.

Anyhoo, Miranda comes up on shuffle, and I'm totally rocking along to it (while trying not to fall out of bed) and it hits me... why isn't this song more popular? It's totally awesome. The guitar is epic, and I love how Stevie sorta "haunts" the song. In short, the song is brilliant.

So anyway, point I was trying to make, which song(s) do you totally adore that doesn't seem to get that much mainstream attention, like, which songs do you totally love that a casual fan wouldn't know existed?

I totally love RTTG too, don't quite get the hate for that song D:

The one Christine song that I adore the most that nobody seems to ever mention is "Morning Rain" from Future Games. It's my driving-on-a-cloudy-day song! And it rocks hard in a wah-wah kinda way.

Very fond of Christine's Hollywood (Some Other Kind of Town).

The backing track is great, but I loathe her vocal on it. There's a demo of it floating around out there that has a vastly superior vocal. Why it wasn't preferred is beyond comprehension.

Prove Your Love... this song is never discussed, not even in the Mac community! I think it's amongst Christine's best. It's also proof Christine was the mystical lady of Fleetwood Mac long before Stevie Nicks!

Fighting For Madge, Spare Me A Little of Your Little, Lay It All Down, Remember Me, Get Like You Used To Be (unsure if this was an original recording or from Chicken Shack? Love it when Fleetwood Mac did it, though). I don't read too much love for Isn't It Midnight and Temporary One, very underrated!

Two of my favorite songs from the band are somewhat "lesser" known, Paper Doll and Heroes Are Hard to Find!

Yeah, indeed: "Hollywood (Some Other Kind Of Town)". Michael Thompson's guitar solo on that one is very stunning. "Love Shines" is impressive, too, but it's a regularly played on the radio over here in Germany so it doesn't really count.

Add to the list: "Do You Know", "Affairs of the Heart", "Paper Doll", "Temporary One", "What's the World Coming To", "Steal Your Heart Away", "Destiny Rules" - and "When the Sun Goes Down".
