Which of the Five Rumours-Era albums has dated the best?

That is exactly how I feel. I LOVE the Mr. Wonderful album...especially for Chris' great blues playing! Blues piano is where Christine has always sparkled...too bad she has never had too many opportunities to show this.

At least after 1976 or so. That's one of the reasons I really enjoyed the "Behind The Mask" tour. Christine showed her chops a bit when they played "Stop Messin' Round."

I have no bootlegs from the BTM tour...but I keep hearing about this.

If you consider that Christine was on all but three Fleetwood Mac albums ("Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac," "Blue Jam At Chess/In Chicago," and "Live In Boston"), then "it's all good." Christine's playing on "Mr. Wonderful" is probably some of her best...EVER!

That's a nice stretch of logic there, Steve-o.

Well, put me in that category then. I LOVE her piano on Mr. Wonderful. "Stop Messin' Around" & "Love That Burns" are fantastic & her piano on those 5 tracks that she's plays on is about as good as it gets!

You've never heard "Stop Messin' Around" from the BTM tour? That was the highlight of the show for me. I'll post it in the Christine forum later today.

I think he has one by now. I showed him "the mecca" last night.

If dating the best means like timeless, I go for TUsk.
Rumours is the best album in terms of hits, and if you still listen a mac song in radios, it's probably from Rumours. But is kind of 70s shaped (what I find so cool...)

Oh well. I just posted the Manchester "Stop Messin' Around". If anyone else wants to hear it, it's in the Chris forum.

I voted for Tusk. Rumours was a close second, but YMLF & GYOW are pretty dated to the late 70's, IMO. I dig Bobo's argument about Mirage too, but I still have to go with Tusk.

4. Everything up to "Heroes Are Hard To Find" (Stevie killed Fleetwood Mac)
5. It's all good.

You should do _that_ as a poll and see what people start arguing over
