But what could possibly be boring about Black Magic Woman, The Green Manalishi, Oh Well, Love That Burns, Man Of The World, World Keep On Turning, I Loved Another Woman, Rattlesnake Shake... ?

Yeah, songs like "Black Magic Woman" always have me entertained. Also, "I Believe My Time Ain't Long," and have I ever mentioned how much I dig "Long Grey Mare"? I think I have more than once at this point!

But I can't really see Danny being boring, but then again I love "Only Over You," so you can't trust a thing I say! But I love "The Purple Dancer" ("dancing in the space of...time") and "Child of Mine." I think those two are anything but boring. And for whatever reason I'm fascinated by the "Like Crying" on the Blue Horizon box set. The production on Then Play On bothers me. I love the way the vocals and guitars sound on the box set version.

I don't usually make single-artist mix CDs for myself, because I tend to prefer just to listen to the albums, but I don't think I could possibly make one for Fleetwood Mac even if I tried. At the very least, it would have to be two discs, and I don't know if I could put Green and post-Green tunes on the same CD. It seems like such a different aesthetic, I don't know how I'd make it work. But maybe I'll try it someday soon and report back then.

You have a point there. It's bizarre to put Green and post-Green together. I've been listening to "Watch Out" lately and it would be weird next to "Landslide" or something.
