Has anyone made...

a mix CD of fave Fleetwood Mac songs? It's really hard to do!

There's too much to choose from and there are so many songs that I've yet to hear. But I made one a few months ago with this tracklisting-

1) Angel
2) Forever
3) Never Going Back Again
4) That's Alright
5) Sunny Side of Heaven
6) Gypsy
7) Talkin' To My Heart
8) Sara
9) Hold Me
10) Child of Mine
11) The Ledge
12) Everywhere
13) I Know I'm Not Wrong
14) Miles Away
15) Beautiful Child
16) Miranda
17) Brown Eyes
18) I Don't Want to Know
19) Like Crying (from Blue Horizon box set)
20) Underway (anyone as crazy about this one as I am?)

Then I realized that I didn't include "Why" and "No Questions Asked" and concluded that "I must have...I must have been CRAZY!"

I would replace "Brown Eyes" with "Why." I'm also not sure why I included "I Don't Want to Know." It probably isn't worth of a top 20 or anything.

I wish I had more blues-era, but I don't know as much of it, comparatively. So my CD wasn't all that balanced.

You know some people are going to have to kill you for not including any pre-BN FM!

I didn't know you were such a big "Nights in Estoril" fan.

That is a really beautiful song.

EDIT: Meant to ask...BN or White Album version of "Crystal"?

Eh, tough tacos. I like the Welch and McVie stuff, but I can leave the rest.

Best song on Time. I'm a big fan of her songs from Tango to Time, anyway, I thought she was at her best during that time.

Toss a good chunk of the Stevie songs and that's one helluva compilation. I think I may have to pilfer it for myself, thankyouverymuch.

Is that you're not really a fan of blues music, or you don't really like FM's particular blues music?

tuigirl · #9 05-18-2005, 10:40 AM

Mixed? Yes, all the time..all different eras, many versions of the same thing and I'm naughty, I chuck in things that friends have sent me ( wee music snips theyv'e made themselves) and that way, they get to be on an FM CD with them..!!

Not a fan of FM's.

It bores me to tears.

How so? I can understand being bored with some of Jeremy's Elmore James ripoffs, or with some the jammier covers from various live CDs (Jenny Jenny, Tiger, etc.), and I guess I can even understand finding some of Danny's stuff to be a little snooze-worthy... 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... ?

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.

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.

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.
