My opinions about songs arenīt really about what those songs are about, the lyrics etc. Mostly I really donīt understand them, I have never translate it to my language, only sometimes, when I was really interested in what that song was about. So I care about how that song is represented (in album as a studio version or in live concert), the music and the singing. And thatīs why I sometimes canīt say with several songs that I like them or not, because many songs were performed manytimes and itīs so different. Some songs I love as a studio songs on some album and really donīt like live, or on the contrary.
And I think that this thread is about lyrics, perhaps. About what songs we like... am I right?
But if I see only studio albums, then Iīm able to choose something. Songs from White album, Rumours and Tusk I love, but they sound much better live than in studio. I mean Rhiannon, Sisters of the Moon, Donīt Stop, Go Your Own Way, The Chain, Gold Dust Woman... so if I see only studio albums I prefer much more songs from Tango or BTM album (like Everywhere, Little Lies, As Long As You Follow, Freedom, No Question Asked... and also Nights In Estoril and Sooner Or Later are my very favourite songs).
Itīs very very difficult to find some favourite Fleetwood Mac songs... I like them all
.
Well, so as you guys, I pick some best of each album:
1975: Rhiannon (1975 tour version is best)
1977: The Chain (Tango tour version is best)
1979: Beautiful Child (awesome live performance during SYW tour)
1982: Straight Back (i like the studio version)
1987: Little Lies (classic song forever, maybe biggest hit, just Little Lies is Fleetwood Mac for me, very successful in Europe)
1990: Freedom (awesome voice of Stevie in studio these days)
1995: Nights In Estoril (one of the Christineīs best songs)
2003: Running Through The Garden (i just like quick rock songs
)
