Hmm, I just listened to bits and pieces of some of the songs, so it's hard to have an informed opinion, but my first impression is that I like it a lot more than the Rumours cover CD. I love the cover of Think About Me. I think that's my favorite. I also kind of like Gypsy, Sisters of the Moon, and Dreams too. It's funny how they chose such a preponderance of Stevie songs. The one I really didn't like was Rhiannon. For me you can do whatever you want to a cover BUT you can't change the words (maybe one or two) or the chords. They changed the minor chords to major chords. I don't get it at all. Horrible. Also, I was really looking forward to Angel because it's one of my favorite Mac tracks and Marianne Faithful was the only person whose name I knew, but I have to say that I don't really like her version very much. I think if you really really like a song, it's hard to like a cover of it.
I think we should start a thread of...if you got to chose a 10 song Fleetwood Mac Cover CD. Anyone up for it?
