Age Range: I am 37
Gender: Male
When you became a fan: Probably first early 80's when I was young hearing songs like The Chain and Go Your Own Way on the radio. In 95 I was reborn again as a fan and when they reunited I became hopelessly addicted.
How you became a fan: Hearing early Mac on the radio. The Chain, Say You Love Me, Go Your Own Way, Dreams... loved it. In 95 I got The Greatest Hits and it was off from there till the reunion solidified my complete and undying allegiance.
First 3 FM songs: The Chain, Say You Love Me, Go Your Own Way
First FM vocalist: Lindsey
Favorite FM Time Period: 1975 - Tusk
Vocalist breakdown by percentage: Lindsey 60%, Chrsitine 25%, Stevie %15.
Concerts you've attended: Haven't yet had the pleasure. If they come near me on the next tour, I won't miss it cuz it'll probably be their last.
FM stuff you own: All of their music on CD as well as the 3 reissues with extra tracks. All of Lindsey's albums on CD if that counts. I also have the Big Love/You and I, Part 1 45.
Favorite thing about FM: The music of course... mainly the style in which Lindsey plays guitar and his guitar playing/technique in general. He's the signature sound of the band. He is my favorite member by far.
Least favorite thing about FM: No Christine in the lineup. Also they don't put out albums close together at all.
Are you the same fan your where when you started: No, much much more of a fan. I go through phases where I will only listen to FM or Lindsey solo. I am in one of those phases as we speak and I am listening to the outtake version of Oh Diane as I type.
Your all time "dream" lineup that won't ever happen: Christine coming back to complete the quintet
You wish for the future of the Mac: Another album (one where LB lets an outside producer handle it and also write songs closer to the style of GoS and a few on UTS... in other words a bit more radio friendly). Another tour. Maybe a farewell tour that would bring Ms. Perfect back to solidify the band.
