Favorite song with Bob Welch
 

I have lots, but my top 3 are Hypnotized, Sentimental Lady & Angel.

"Favorites" when it comes to anything Fleetwood Mac are always the toughest questions for me. I pretty much love everything Bob did on Mystery to Me and I also like Bermuda Triangle and LOVE Sentimental Lady. I sometimes wish Sentimental Lady would have been on Mystery to Me to make the perfect Bob-era album, but Bare Trees has other gems on it too.

I don't think I've got ONE favourite song, but if I must choose one, it would be Sentimental Lady, of course.
This is my top 5 of Bob songs, one of them with Bob's vocals, but written by Bob Weston:

1) Sentimental Lady
2) Forever
3) Bright Fire
4) Emerald Eyes
5) The Ghost

Regards!

There's something about "The Ghost" that makes me very happy! Have to go with that one. :)

Future Games.

+1. Such an epic, transporting song. Truly one of the best Mac compositions ever released. :nod:

Hypnotized & Bermuda Triangle are tied at #1
Everything else is tied at a very close #2.

:nod: :thumbsup:

Future Games.

But the live version of Bermuda Triangle runs a close second.

And Miles Away a close third.

I´ve only recently started to listen to the 1971-74 period, and so far Future Games is the outstanding Welch track.

If you love this track, be sure to listen to Jonathan Wilson´s two recent albums!

The Bob Welch/Christine McVie era of FM was my favourite.

My one favourite song? I'd probably have to go with She's Changing Me.

But I am obsessed with all of his songs from Mystery to Me and Penguin as well.

After really listening to the 1971-74 albums, these would be on my Best of the Bob Welch tracks:

Future Games
The Ghost
Revelation
Night Watch
Emerald Eyes
Hypnotized
The City
Coming Home
Angel
Bermuda Triangle
Safe Harbour

Sentimental Lady is pretty good, too - but I find it too light-weight/commercial pop...and that goes for some of the other tracks as well. (not to mention the later Buckinham-Nicks era, which is of almost no interest/relevance to me.)

Top 5:
Sentimental Lady
Future Games
Emerald Eyes
Miles Away
She's Changing Me

Forever
Hypnotized
Angel
Born Enchanter
The City
Bright Fire
Night Watch
Sentimental Lady
Future Games
Revelation

Future Games
Sentimental Lady
The Ghost

I always try to figure out who is playing what guitar parts on the Future Games/Bare Trees albums. I feel like that is Danny Kirwan's trademark lead guitar during the intro to Future Games. I know Kirwan layers all the guitar on a lot of his songs, just like on his first two solo albums (and maybe even on a song like When You Say). It is too bad both of those amazing players are not available to ask. :(

Agreed. :xoxo:
