I picked Moonlight.

I like it on IYD - but I think it could have been even greater in the context of Fleetwood Mac.

I chose Friend. Something about the whole song is just classic Fleetwood Mac to me. There are shades of the You Make Loving Fun clavi, the song is anchored with a strong bass ala John McVie, and the lyrics are definitely Mac mystical.

Well, 1st off, pretty much ALL of Christine's 1984 album... And, the first 3 songs on In The Meantime.

Stevie:

Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind (as is, it sounds like a FMac track, but would've liked to have heard Lindsey's & Christine's input and of course the Mick & John rhythm section)

Sable On Blond (with Mick on drums it has a bit of the FMac flavor already, but would've liked the entire band's input...but, keep Lori, Sharon & Sandy's background vocals)

Outside The Rain (it's already so close to "Dreams" that even she medley-d them.)

No Spoken Word (I just wonder if a FMac version would have that "sock in the gut" angry power that the Rock A Little version has)

If I Were You (an organic sound instead of the synth & keyboard heaviness of the Rock A Little version)

Whole Lotta Trouble (would've LOVED to have heard the BTM lineup tackle this one. The closest thing to a bluesy song in Stevie's solo career and she let's Rupert synth it out...for shame, for shame. In Fleetwood Mac she had a blues guitar player just waiting in Rick Vito...oh, what could've been...{distant sad look})



Lindsey:

Shadow Of The West (doesn't Christine sing backgrounds on this one as it is? Or, am I confusing it with Lindsey doing backgrounds on her "Who's Dreaming This Dream"?)

Loving Cup (would like to hear this song with Mick & John instead of programmed drums & synthesised bass)

Due to Tango In The Night, we have a little idea what the tunes on Out Of The Cradle would've sounded like as FMac songs, but specifically I'd like to hear these as FMac songs:

Don't Look Down
Countdown
Say We'll Meet Again
You Do Or You Don't
(although having the identical bridge later used on "Bleed To Love Her" I have some idea)

Of your list Friend and Moonlight are the most classic Mac sounds. but Trouble is good as well.

I always wished the Rumous line up performed One in a Million and How Still My Love. And when I heard Forgiveness and Giving it Back I thought "this is the closest thing to Mac I've heard in about 20 years.
