As much as I love Little Lies and You Make Loving Fun, they just don't compare to the others. Had Over & Over, Songbird, Brown Eyes, or Isn't it Midnight made it, I would have voted for her.

Now, is it also official that we can call the 1975 LP the White album?

Hell, no...there's only ONE "White Album"...that double one by those lads from Liverpool.

The '75 album is called Fleetwood Mac...it is distinguished from Fleetwood Mac's first album which had the same title due to THAT one's nickname of "Dog & Dustbin".

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's christened the album "Dog & Dustbin". I even named it officially as such on my iPod

NOT Really!!! the white album rocks!

First off...spell my username correctly.

Second...I've been a Fleetwood Mac addict pretty much since the band formed in '67...wanna keep going on that line of pissing? I've got a tape measure handy, as well, if you wanna start measuring.

Third..."yelling"?? REALLY?

Next..."Facts"?? She makes an appearance on just a couple of songs, not "most". I've listened to the album numerous times through headphones, I know what she sounds like vocally, I know her keyboard "style. If she was in on the original recording sessions, she's been taken out of the final mix of the album. Kind of like an actor's part in a movie getting "left on the cutting room floor". Sure, there's still two or three songs where she's obvious in the final mix, as well. But, that doesn't make it the Rumours era lineup any more than Lindsey making cameo appearances on BTM & Time. Christine's participation on SYW is "cameo" at best.

I'm sorry, but for Buddha sake. Do we really want a repeat of what happened last night? Everybody just chill out and stop getting so touchy. It's all well and good having opinions and sharing them constructively and diplomatically, which I may add does NOT include flaming, but it's quite another to treat your opinions as the God's honest truth.

Yeah, especially "Back In The USSR", "Revolution #1", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Birthday" & "Yer Blues". And, let's not forget "Helter Skelter", too!!

Hey, how's everybody doing tonight? Good I hope!

The Chain and Go Your Own Way are doing really well here. Remember that the top 4 songs move on and the others will be out of the battle!

Looks like it's gonna be The Chain, Rhiannon, Go Your Own Way, and Gypsy going onto the next round. Now I dunno who i'm gonna vote for next round

And Chili, no offense, but from what I know about you, you were a fan when you were 11?

Yes. 11 1/2, actually. I was just learning guitar (after 4 years of yucky piano lessons playing all that Beethoven & Chopin crap....yes, David...crap! ) and anything I heard that was guitar oriented intrigued me. Being as how my parents both came from large families, I had lots of older cousins who turned me on to a LOT of music at a young age. However, other than the initial wave of the early 60's "British Invasion" bands (Beatles, Stones, Animals, Kinks, etc) Fleetwood Mac was one of the first artists I discovered on my own...there were very few people my age (or a tad older) in my locality who even knew of them for the first couple of years of their existence anyway. It was one of the first bands that I actually turned on my older cousins to.

Ok, let me clear something up, while I'm here...I don't get the resistance to SYW being called "Post-Rumours"...I'm getting a feeling that people are assuming because I consider it that, I DISLIKE the album...not the case at all, I really like it...A LOT!! (with a couple of songs as exceptions). In all the pre-album hype, both Lindsey & Stevie kept saying how it was "the best stuff they'd done in a long time" etc, etc. But once the "show hit the road", you've thought that they were embarrassed by the album...they didn't back up their words; they fell back on the cushy comfort of Rumours, etc. (oh and regards to Tusk...no, it didn't sound like Rumours because Lindsey intentionally didn't want it to...BUT, it ONLY sounded the way it did BECAUSE of the whole Rumours phenomena...I'm convinced that had Rumours NOT sold as much as it did, their follow-up album would've sounded quite a bit more similar. Ken Caillat has said in an interview or two that the Tusk songs sounded quite like Rumours but Lindsey was so afraid of it "being the same" had he & Richard tweak the EQ to give it a whole different sound. Hence, the "Anti-Rumours" quality of Tusk.

When i was 11, I was probably listening to the pop on the radio, but i was an odd kid that enjoyed the stuff my parents would play on our big stereo, such as The Who (still a fave to this day). When i was in junior high and high school, i was pretty much the anti-rocker, listening to rap and whatnot, but when i started college, i saw the light, as my parents like to say

Yeah, I remember hearing about Lindsey intentionally not making Tusk sound like Rumours cause it sold a lot, but what does EQ stand for?

And as for cousins, all my cousins are older too, but all I got out of it was one that is 15 years older than me introducing me to the world of thrash metal, and I can't play guitar for the life of me (I had trouble lining up the notes on the staff in the book I got, which was the same exact problem i had in accounting with that damn columnar pad my professor made us use, and why couldn't he let us use Excel for homework, i dunno), so the closest thing so far for me has been Guitar Hero on my Wii (and do not ask me to get that controller out of the neck anytime soon )

Considering my parents' music was all that pre-rock & roll stuff: Doris Day, Perry Como, Nelson Riddle Orchestra, etc. The only one who piqued my interest was Les Paul & Mary Ford because they sounded light years ahead of anyone else.

EQ = "equalization"...a "simple" EQ are the "treble" & "bass" knobs on your stereo. In a recording studio, they have EQs that are adjustable in various frequencies in the human hearing range 25Hz (Hertz...the measurement of sound frequency) to 25KHz (dogs can hear even higher frequencies)

Les Paul...I must say he did make good guitars, especially the sunburst used by my man Jimmy Page (as you probably know by now, I am indeed obsessed with Led Zeppelin )

In regard to music and math, I love listening to music, but I hate math! In the spring, i almost failed precalc (then again, that class, like the basic science classes, since Stony Brook is a very science-heavy school, was designed to weed out people who weren't meant to go onto higher classes, and I just needed it as a prereq for a few business classes) and I've always had a hard time with it, but accounting was such a pain in the ass

[SuperFleetwood]
