This is interesting, because there are some songs that do not sound like Fleetwood Mac songs....but then there are so many on Say You Will that sound exactly like Fleetwood Mac songs.

The only one that sounds like a true FM song to me is Destiny Rules.

That one especially sounds like Fleetwood Mac.

I'd have to add:

Say You Will
Bleed To Love Her
Steal Your Heart Away
Say Goodbye
Silver Girl
Miranda
Thrown Down
Peacekeeper
Smile At You
Goodbye Baby

For me, the only ones that really don't sound like Fleetwood Mac are Murrow, Everybody Finds Out, Running Through The Garden, Red Rover and Come. The rest pretty much fit the sterotypical Fleetwood Mac sound and have elements of Tusk, Mirage and Tango throughout, and just seem to be missing Chris' harmonies.

If we're talking about Lindsey's songs too then I'd have to agree about Bleed To Love Her.

It helps that it was taken on tour first.

With Christine...

Miranda always reminded me of a Tango in the Night cut.

Honestly, SYW sounds like Buckingham Nicks where it's just the two of them swapping lead vocals and harmony vocals. I have no issue with that whatsoever. Mostly, I prefer it.

However, I think Sheryl Crow's vocals on a couple of the SYW tracks - Silver Girl, SYW were a "nice try" for the FM with Christine McVie sound. Again, I don't have a problem with the SYW album at all. I think it's an excellent project. It's really no different than the previous two Mac studio albums with Stevie and Lindsey - Mirage and Tango where they each (including Christine) had songs that were arguably solo songs.

Back on topic: New tweet says "Stevie’s on a treadmill singing along to “Vampire’s Dream” from her new record. She was inspired to write the song after she saw New Moon."
