2012 Fleetwood Mac Contest

[MacShadowsBall]

Yeah, the actual amount of songs that the three have put out is about the same, but Stevie's are more popular.........

I saw that Lindsey thread, so yeah 10 songs is really hard.

Only official releases would count. Also stickly mainly to the album version of that release.

Certainly things can change before the contest begins based on the overall view of Ledgies, but we can't be changing the rules once the contest begins.

stevie solo is more popular, of course, but it seems that in general people still go crazy at her solo shows mostly when she sings her FM songs and don't even know most of her her solo catalog other than EO17 and SB? [which is very similar for lindsey too, btw]. note, i'm talking about general audiences at their shows, not huge fans like most people on these boards.

anyway - i don't know her solo songs either way - same as you don't know lindsey solo songs i presume [actually, i barely know lindsey's FM songs from Mirage and Tango ]

yup, by the end of the thread we decided we can't have less than 20 solo lindsey songs, and that we could probably whittle down to 50 lindsey songs all together, if we count both his solo and FM songs.

You presume correctly!

I know his albums and a few songs by name. I'm really a Fleetwood Mac fan first and foremost, so I know his Fleetwood Mac songs.

If and when we do the 18 songs for Lindsey, I would need somebody that is more of a Lindsey solo fan than I to officiate those polls.

I volunteer myself if you need in the future.

Obviously that's if you don't have anybody else in mind. Don't want to step on any toes...

Actually I had both of you in mind!!! However it is looking like the "non-hits" contest will be done first as it has the most votes.

I really want to include Pre-Rumours songs in the non-hits contest, but I'm concerned about whether or not there would be enough participation out of the Pre-Rumours Ledgies, particularly among the Peter Green/Blues era fans.

I could just start with Future Games and go until Say You Will , including of course the Post-Rumours albums.

Thoughts?

I choose B= Favorite Non-Hit Song. It think that would be interesting.

I think it would be a mistake to exclude part of the back catalogue. Just have to be prepared for a little less participation than with the "fab five" era.
