Wheres the love for our favorite band.

In truth, I only created this and the Lindsey "worst song" threads because I was tired of only seeing Christine get the brunt of the negativity. Since there's a worst song thread for her, I thought there should be one for each of the three songwriters.

In truth, I love much more of the music than not and, with a few very obvious exceptions, find them to be remarkably consistent in quality.

Sorry it was no offense to you and others.I was just wondering what was up.Everybody has a right to make a opinions on their favorite and non favorite songs and notice more of it lately.

I did notice the Christine thread getting hammered with negative thoughts of her songs there too which I was very surprised.


My only gripe with this band is please play different setlists on their tours and not the same stale setlist every night.Other then that.I love them all.

I take these threads with a grain of salt. We are all die hard fans but are each so different in our likes and dislikes. I don't see we are being negative but just engaging in conversation on a slow day on the board..
No one is more frustrated than me. I don't believe Christine has a bad Mac song and her thread is the longest

Stevie's Klonopin era wasn't great. There were a lot of bad judgments. Unfortunately that's the era when I first started being aware of pop music, so my first impressions weren't great. Since I discovered the back catalog though I've been a fan.

I've always been biased toward Stevie and it took longer to warm to Christine. But I loved her on the last tour and realized how vital she is. Many of her songs charted very well for FM. I may not be crazy about all of her material but many others seem to like it and it's hard for me to believe she could write a truly bad song. I respect her a great deal. She plays beautiful keyboard and her smoother voice is a good counter balance to Stevie's tone.

As performers and artists, I think they all have their own individual strengths and weaknesses. But they balance each other and when together it's an interesting dynamic.

I've been listening to SYW a lot recently, and I actually really LOVE Silver Girl. It has a few clunky lyrics, but the music is gorgeous and the chorus is pretty great. I also love WISYA, just because it's so revealing of where Stevie was at that moment in time.

Welcome to the room... Sara, on the other hand... Sigh. If only she'd swapped that for Joan of Arc!

I also really really really despise the SYW version of Smile At You. I can't get away with it at all. I've tried. Numerous times.

Likewise. I like pretty much all of Fleetwood Mac's work, but there's always going to be songs that we like more or less than others.

Oh gosh, yes, that one.
