Favorite Bob Welch Song
 

What's Your Favorite?

(Multiple Choice Allowed)

Hmmm...it's not listed ("Bermuda Triangle").

But, favorites of those listed:

Hypnotized
Miles Away
Angel

Miles Away and Hypnotized for me.

Future Games. It's just so epic. :nod:

In this order (from this list):

- Bright Fire
- Sentimental Lady
- Emerald Eyes
- Hypnotized


Non listed:

- The Ghost
- Coming Home

:wavey:

The more I think about it, there's really not ANY Bob Welch song during his time with Fleetwood Mac that I DON'T like...he was pretty consistently good (although even better on some).

Kind of like Pizza..."there no such thing as BAD pizza, just some are better than others".:D

Hypnotized but A very close second is the unlisted revelation. Bob mick and John all shine.

I love Angel. Love the sound of Christine and John on this one.

God, I forgot Angel on my list!!!!!!! I'm really fuc#%$¬...fool...
Now I can say:

- Bright Fire
- Sentimental Lady
- Emerald Eyes
- Hypnotized
- Angel


Non listed:

- The Ghost
- Coming Home

In every song from MTM I listed, Chris and John sounded really good! Obviously Micks has his part too. Agree with jbrownsjr!
:wavey:

Unfortunately, John didn't play on "Revelation". That was Bob Welch who played bass on that. (Apparently, John was with Dave Walker down the block knocking a few back when the rest of the band recorded "Revelation")

I Didn't Include Revelation For that Reason

That doesn't make sense. A song that Bob played multiple instruments on, you DON'T include? :shrug: I mean I could see it if your poll was "John McVie's best bass lines". {scratches head}

I would have voted for Hypnotised. Honourable mention for Coming Home which has grown on me lately for some reason.

Going a bit off-topic, but there may well have been other songs that Bob played bass on- this from a Q & A of his:

"I played bass on quite a few Mac songs ;"Revalation", and "Keep On Going" come to mind."

I wonder what the other ones were? Can anyone tell? It's a little chink in the Fleetwood-McVie legend when you think about it...

Love this thread!!!

All the above choices are great songs, I also really dig "She's Changing Me" .

Regarding the bass thing - I would not be surprised to hear that Bob played on Silver Heels and Coming Home, very compositional type bass parts -

No disrespect intended to John who is BRILLIANT and capable of anything, those 2 just seem to have a little different feel

This is a tough one I like so many of Bob's songs. If I had to rank the top 3 from the list it would be.
Hypnotized
Emerald Eyes
Future Games
