Mystery To Me is one of my favorite Mac albums, period. I love all the Bob Welch era Mac albums, though. He really brought something special to the band that's hard to classify.

Agreed on everything. MTM is one of the few FM albums I listen to cover to cover.

Bare Trees.
As the last album with Danny Kirwan, it really sounds like his farewell work, specially if you listen to Dust. Bare Trees, Danny's Chant and Child of Mine are amazing, but Sunny Side of Heaven is simply wonderful, and maybe one of the best songs of Fleetwood Mac. By its instrumental character, it really differs from other songs.
Only two songs of Bob Welch, but enough to appreciate his talent and all he could do. Sentimental Lady is a poem, and I love it more than the Bob's solo version. Ghost is...funny? Hehehe
Chris' songs, Homeward Bound and Spare me a little of your love are good, specially the second one. I like them more than her immediate Penguin songs.
Well...about the last "song", it's rare, no questions about it, but sometimes when I hear it, I think "this is a little peace of history"!
Regards and thanks!!

Mystery to me just need one more great "Chris-track"... maybe Come a Little Bit closer or Did you ever Love me and it'd be a great great record. Still, it is my pick.

most all the albums are listed in full on youtube. Chris/Bob era offers some really great stuff.

actually...all the albums are good, but I'm not a big fan of Kiln House. Some of JS's tracks are too obscure.

One of my favourite bedtime listens is the two Kirwan/Welch era albums back to back. Sad that the absence of Greenie meant no-one took any notice but those albums epitomise beautiful music. I have never heard anything else quite like them. How gorgeous can music get with all instruments electric bar the drums? How gorgeous can rock get without turning into folk?

These two albums have the answer and it's such a shame Kirwan went nutso because great album though M2M is (and Heroes) a balance in the sound had been lost to my mind.

Can't so I'm too suprised about Mystery to Me. Why is mostly considered one of Christine's best Mac songs and certainly her best Pre-Rumours era song.

Hypnotized is Bob's best song period.
