Neat idea!
Age Range: 23
Gender: female
When you became a fan: late 2009
How you became a fan: Bought Rumours on a whim
First 3 FM songs: First three faves? Songbird, The Chain, and Gold Dust Woman.
First FM vocalist: I guess Stevie. Very unique voice, I remember thinking that when I first heard Dreams.
Favorite FM Time Period: Oh man, this is tough. I'll just list my favorite three albums representing different eras; Tusk, Then Play On & Bare Trees
Vocalist breakdown by percentage: 20% Peter, 20% Danny, 20% Stevie, 20% Christine, & 20% Lindsey . The others I appreciate to a degree, just don't really strike a chord with me like those five. For solo stuff, I guess I do like Lindsey's most overall, but Bella Donna is my favorite solo album of any Mac member. Love Danny Kirwan's first two albums, and love the Christine Perfect album, but not so much her last two.
Haven't gotten my hands on Peter's yet. Glad you didn't ask for breakdown of musicians or song-writers, that'd be even harder to answer.
Concerts you've attended: 0 ;__;
FM stuff you own: All the albums from Dog & Dustbin to SYW, and some Dvds (bootleg Tusk Doc & Mirage concert, The Dance, Live in Boston)
Favorite thing about FM: All the different eras and the amazing music along the way. Hard to get tired of FM when you can hop around their discography and be blown away all over again.
Least favorite thing about FM: The current line-up's lack of direction and output.
Are you the same fan you were when you started: No, I know way more than I used to (or need to
) about the band. When I first heard Rumours I assumed Silver Springs was always on the record. Then I bought the vinyl and was very confused, so I started researching the band and that led me to this board.. and this board led me to everything else FM-related, honestly. Don't contribute much, but I appreciate all the discussion. Kudos and keep it up!
Your all time "dream" lineup that won't ever happen: Peter, Danny, Lindsey, Christine, Stevie, Mick, & good ol' John. It would be insane.
Your wish for the future of the Mac: New music.
