Unpopular FM Opinions

This may be true of all of the current Mac frontline; but both Lindsey and Christine have solo albums I can listen to from front to back (Out of the Cradle and In the Meantime).

Ah, differing opinions make the world go 'round. I have yet to really listen to Christine's solo stuff, but I'm with you on OOTC; totally flawless, an insult to even think of skipping a track. BUT the album that I personally feel is 100% perfect top to bottom, an album that immediately improves my mood every time I listen to it, is Bella Donna. For my part I think it's the best FM-related album in existence, an album I love more than Stevie's other solo efforts, more than even Lindsey's incredible solo output, even more than every Fleetwood Mac album. Crazy? Maybe. Crazy in love with Stevie and her incredible songwriting.

2. Oh Daddy is one of the strongest songs on Rumours.

All 12 tracks on Rumours are the strongest tracks on the album. Like Bella Donna and Out of the Cradle (and Tusk), Rumours is perfection.
