I don't agree with the Say You Will Tour jukebox comment. They kick ass this time around, and I'd go see them every night if I could. I know you all care - especially since my opinion is different from yours.

Tango in the Night is the worst LB/SN era FM album. Mirage is ALWAYS better than Tango.

Behind the Mask sucks- and not because Lindsey isn't on it. The songs suck.

Time, while continuing the suck trend, sucks less than BTM.

The White Album is better than Rumours. Mystery to Me is, sometimes, better than the White Album. Mystery to Me is always better than Tango.

Bob Welch's Fleetwood Mac is AS GOOD AS- sometimes better than- Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac.

Sara is not a very good awesome ohmygod-worship-sara song. I'm glad they don't do it live, otherwise I might fall asleep. The music is boring. I don't care about the emotion. I also feel like half of the reason so many people like it is ONLY because of the mystery behind it and Stevie's not singing it. And, I also feel like they don't know that is the reason they like that song so much.

Chris' Tusk songs are better than Lindsey's.

Brown Eyes might just be the perfect song.

Empire State is a good song. As is Love in Store, Murrow, Red Rover, That's Alright, Welcome to the Room..Sara, and Seven Wonders.

Sugar Daddy is AWESOME as is Oh Daddy. I will never understand why people don't care about these songs.

Rhiannon kicked ass as an exorcism, and it has evolved into a more sophisticated version that CONTINUES to kick ass. I hope it is never dropped. I would be extremely sad to see it disappear.

I'm glad I Don't Want to Know replaced Silver Springs on Rumours. On the flipside, I'm glad Silver Springs was on the Dance. I love Silver Springs- and the Dance version does it more justice (in retrospect) than the Rumours version did, despite the beautiful way it was recorded.

Silver Springs also sounds better in Stevie's lower register.

The best part of the Little Lies video is John pretending to play an acoustic bass, not Lindsey's messed up chicken-walk.

It took me a long time to like Gypsy- because of the goatiness factor in Stevie's voice. Lindsey's ending guitar solo is the best part of the song.

Hold Me is better than Gypsy. Both in song and video.

My Little Demon blows, but I'm glad it's on The Dance purely for the fact that whoever did the "Dancing Alone" business included it and I'm able to hear Stevie and Chris' parts- and they kick ass.

Temporary One is one of Chris' best songs. Sweet Girl should be included live. It has potential to be a Mac classic.

I MISS CHRISTINE. Say You Will would have been better, IMO, WITH Ms. McVie.

Bleed to Love her on the Dance is better than BTLH on SYW. Lindsey's noodling is annoying.

Steal Your Heart Away sounds complete, and I think it's because you can hear Chris.

Peacekeeper is a good song. SMILE AT YOU is a GREAT song. Illume is a SUCKY song.

Thrown Down is better than Destiny Rules.

Murrow, Red Rover, and Say Goodbye are fantastic songs. Come is not that special on the record. Come is best live.

I don't care about Stevie's solo career. I have the stuff, and it's too 80s for me. I do, however, really like most of the Bella Donna album. But not Highway Man. I'm glad she released Enchanted so that I can have the select Stevie solo songs I like all in one place, but I never listen to it, nor do I listen to any of her other cds- except Bella Donna when I remember that I've forgotten it.

I like the Christine McVie album. A lot.

I like Lindsey's solo albums- and I'm glad they didn't get huge. I like the "little secret" feeling.

I like Mick. I didn't fall for the fanclub business. I don't blame Mick for the fiasco. Don't bother trying to convince me otherwise. He may have hired the man, and he may have found out about the stuff.. but I'd be willing to bet JT has a contract. The members of Fleetwood Mac don't even TYPE when they participate in online chats. What the hell makes you think they have anything
to do with the inner workings- REGARDLESS of whether they manage themselves through "Seedy Management" or not.

John McVie is the most entertaining member of Fleetwood Mac. His answers to questions are always a thousand times better than everyone else's. He's not self-righteous, and he is very witty. He may have only co-written on a few songs, but Fleetwood Mac would be nearly nothing without him.
I shudder to think what nearly ALL of Fleetwood Mac's songs would sound like without John on bass.

I'm sure I could think of more.. but I'm sure people only skim these answers to see what they can pick apart. Here are some nails and some boards: hang me up.
