Favorite tracks from Tango in the Night?

[The Highwayman]

'Everywhere', 'Seven Wonders' and 'Little Lies' are the truly great songs in the album. I really like every song though. Really. Even those Stevie songs that always get dumped on. I dig 'em.

[redbird]

"Little Lies" is probably the only song I really dig just the way it is. I'm not really a big fan of the 80's sound prevalent on Tango but for whatever reason it wins me over here.

"Big Love" is also a good song but I think I do like the version on The Dance better. Still, I like it.

"Seven Wonders" is nice, despite Stevie's shot voice.

That's probably it, those three there. This is just not my album. I could've loved "Everywhere" with different production. I like the stripped down, simple and sweet version I try to hear in my head. "Isn't It Midnight" is sound but it still sounds like a workout video soundtrack to me. Plus I don't quite like the way Chris' voice sounds here or on "Mystified." Though I don't hate that song either.

I think Chris does the best on this album, unfortunately she's attempting sounds that aren't my favorite things to listen to. I want to like Lindsey's F. Synth Fitzgerald thing more than I do. Stevie, oy.

[StillOfTheNight]

Tango gets a lot of uneccesary hate imo, I really love Mystified, Little Lies, When I See You Again, Big Love, Seven Wonders.

I like the album better than Mirage.

Been mulling it over for a few days, it's hard for me to rank because this really is an album I listened to over and over in my college days.

But gonna take a shot at it. I think a couple of things have changed. I have appreciation for Seven Wonders now that I don't think I had at the time.

Tango in the Night
Little Lies
Everywhere
Caroline
Seven Wonders
Mystified
Big Love
Isn't It Midnight
When I See You Again
Family Man
You and I, Part II
Welcome to the Room... Sara

I don't dislike Welcome to the Room... Sara at all, just a lot of chips I like falling where they may.

I feel that Tango gets a lot of unnecessary love!

I listened to the whole album today (for the first time in a while!)... I still really like it. It's always been one of my favourites because of these songs:

Little Lies
Isn't It Midnight
Big Love
Everywhere
Seven Wonders
Tango In The Night

The rest of the tracks are lesser faves, but I enjoy things about each of them. For example, the last minute or so of When I See You Again is beautiful.

I also prefer the first three and a half minutes of You and I, Pt II (the 6+ minute version from the Deluxe edition) much more than the original version on the album.

I'm going to say something a bit heretical: I don't much care for Everywhere. I don't think it's bad per se. I'm just not so keen on it as most everyone else seems to be.

Also, and this may be less heretical, I'm not too keen on the album version of Big Love (love Lindsey's solo version).

favorites are:

Little Lies
Tango In The Night
Seven Wonders
Caroline
Family Man

[jcalzaretta]

I love

Seven Wonders
Little Lies
Tango in the Night
Caroline

I like all the others just fine other than Family Man. Don't like that one at all.

I agree with you on both scores.

[Macfan4life]

I don't care for very much on Tango. It has almost no Fleetwood Mac sound and is a Lindsey solo album with Christine and Stevie appearing on it. Unlike a classic Mac sound, its pure 80s synth pop. Stevie was there a total of 3 weeks according to Mick. She flew off the wall and threatened to blackmail the group because she was barely on the album. Then you get the cheezy Stevie quick added padding like on Family Man "i am what I am in cheezy 80's sound. Stevie's demos were flown in from the Rock A Little tour and she could not even write to contribute 3 songs and borrowed Seven Wonders from Sandy Stewart. Tango is also the worst album cover of any Mac album IMHO.

****getting off my soapbox now*****

Having said that to get off my chest there are a few good songs and Christine makes this album worthy. Unfortunately we have to wait to Behind the Mask to hear her play keyboards again. There are a few parts here and there where her playing shines on this album though.

Favorite track: Isn't it Midnight - pure rocker that this album needed more of. Lindsey's solo is amazing and his backing vocals take the song to another level. This is one of Christine's best songs ever!

Tango In The Night - a great song by Buckingham. Its creative with surprising pounding guitar work at the end. One of Lindsey's best songs from the 80's

Little Lies - what a cute little song that made the perfect pop single. No wonder it charted all the way at #4. To hear all 3 singers featured on a Mac song on Tango is extremely rare. One of the major reasons I like this song; Group effort .....hello!!!!

Those are my top 3. I also like Everywhere mostly because its a different and great song live. Mystified is also a worthy McVie effort.

The best thing from Tango were the videos. Big Love - awesome to finally see them all together again. Seven Wonders - just beautiful Little Lies - pure magic

I wish the Mac would have not played it so safe on this album. There was tremendous pressure to make it commercially successful. They should have kept the pop hits waiting after showcasing the Mac was back. I wish Isn't it Midnight was the first single just to blow everyone away. Ahhh Hello....the Mac is back! Then they could have released the top 40 pop hits. It would have given the Mac some credibility to rock critics instead of embracing the current pop 1987 sound. That is why it never charted past #7 at its peak. Its 1987 pop songs were not stand outs or unique. The best rock albums hold up because they are daring and have a unique sound. Most of these songs could have easily been added to Lindsey's Go Insane and no one would have even noticed.
