I'm not even going to attempt this
I will just end up listing every single song

but Gypsy is way up there just because its my mom's favorite song and my ringtone for whenever she calls me.

World Turning is also up in the top ten.

and I like a lot of others that most don't prefer (brown eyes, never forget, mystified, not that funny, little lies, honey hi, welcome to the room...sara, thats enough for me, only over you, no questions asked)

ok, I'm done. promise!

[gypsy4life]

Considering the deep love I have for this group, I could never pick just one.

There are a few stand outs, the kind we tend not skip on the MP3 on any given day.

My first choice would be Gypsy. This song is the anthem of my life. I said I would get back to this on the thread for the song, however, I've been so busy latley, I couldn't. Gypsy is the blood that runs through my veins, in the sense that I am a free spirit, often having to semi-adapt to other people's standards. However, I contiually fall back into the velvet underground. My own space, where life is mine, and God's. He made me who I am, conventional-no. Just Lisa!! I know this won't make sense to many of you, but, I'll just say this: Gypsy makes me happy! I feel like I'm "home" when I hear it.

I also love: Sisters Of the Moon, Rhiannon, The Chain, and Gold Dust Woman.

I rarely go more than one day without listening to World Turnin'

1) I just don't get "honesty" from him on that one...seems he'd rather not be doing the song.

2) I don't like his guitar's tone on the song...sounds really thin & wimpy (sounds like he's using solid state effects to try to make the guitar "bigger", instead of overdriving his amp's tubes, which has a more authentic tone)...the song just needs that beefier overdriven tube tone (listen to Jimmy Page's tone on the version he did with The Black Crowes a few years ago...THAT's how the "Oh Well" guitar sound should be. That's my favorite non-Fleetwood Mac version. And, I'm really not all that big of a Jimmy Page fan)

Well, my favourite FM song as well as my favourite song ever is RHIANNON. It's magical. That song lives. It breathes. And it changes. Call me crazy if you want, but this song seems to be a little different to me everyday. It has its own life I swear. Stevie gave something away to this song from deep in her heart and brought it to life. I've never tried drugs but I guess it feels like listening to Rhiannon. If I should have to spend eternity with nothing but this song I won't miss a thing.

[GoldDustWoman87]

Christine: Everywhere, Over & Over, You Make Loving Fun, Isn't It Midnight, Hold Me, Don't Stop, Little Lies

Lindsey: Go Your Own Way, I'm So Afraid, Ledge, Bleed To Love Her, Never Going Back Again, Can't Go Back, Caroline, Big Love

Stevie: Silver Springs, Sara, Dreams, Gypsy, Welcome To The Room... Sara, Landslide, Angel, Sisters Of The Moon, Storms

Can't really narrow it down much more than I already have. Of course, this list would be incomplete without The Chain.

I agree with the Lindsey thing except that I think that I can add the version he's been doing on this tour to the list of possible favourites. He's got so much better at it since 1982. The early versions are okay, but they lack just a little something.

[sjpdg]

Ok. Here's my list in no real particular order. All of these songs just make me feel good. I enjoy listening to and playing the drums to them. These are all songs that I've played just by myself with my headphones on, sitting at the drum kit.

I'm So Afraid (The Dance version)
Blue Letter
Sugar Daddy
Go Your Own Way (The Dance version)
The Chain
Think About Me
Over & Over (from "Live")
Brown Eyes
World Turning (Live in SF, 1987. Video doesn't do the actual performance justice. If you weren't there you just didn't get the whole experience. Mick blew me away that night and I wanted to learn to play drums based mainly on seeing him that night.)
Gypsy (extended version)
Beautiful Child (25 Years version)
Isn't It Midnight (Live in SF, 1987, I know it's not Lindsey playing it, but it just rocked on that tour)
Fireflies
Seven Wonders
Little Lies
Welcome To The Room . . . Sara (just love the percussion and beat of this song, don't really listen to the words much when I'm playing this track on the CD)
Bleed To Love Her (either The Dance or SYW versions but I fell in love with in on The Dance tour, I like the solo at the end of the SYW version)
My Little Demon
Wish You Were Here (has a lot of meaning for my wife and I from early in our relationship when we could not always be together)
What's The World Coming To
Steal Your Heart Away
Say Goodbye

I also like Lindsey's take on "Oh Well" but I don't consider it a "Rumours" era song since it was done with the original blues line up so I don't list it here. My list of favourites from the original FM is much longer.

[markolas]

More or less all of LB's songs from the Tusk and Tango in the Night.

Dreams, Gypsy, Sara, & Silver Springs from Stevie.

SYLM, YMLF, Hold Me, Little Lies, & Everywhere from Christine.

[aleuzzi]

I'll give fifteen since the band's recording history is so rich and varied.

Rollin' Man
Station Man
Sometimes
Dust
Honey Hush (BBC live recording)

Hypnotized
Say You Love Me
World Turning
Sugar Daddy
Oh Daddy

Tusk
Love in Store
Everybody Finds Out
Illume
Big Love (Dance)

My list changes quite a bit, but the first ten songs are always on there.

[markolas]

I've never really gotten into pre-Rumours FM. I like the early, early Peter Green stuff somewhat, altho usually if I want to hear blues, I'll listen to Bessie Smith or Muddy Waters. Then Play On and Bare Trees are both terrible to my ears (the latter especially...I can't get into Bob Welch at all). I know I'll be pelted by rotten tomatoes by many, but I'm really just a fan of Lindsey, Stevie, & Christine.

Don't look up, I've got a 500 gallon vat of 'em suspended above your head and it's tilting rapidly.

Def. understand the purist thing, but even though I really love the original blues peeps, I love myself some blues rock as well. Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs is prob. my fave album of all time and I love hearing Peter Green wail away, he's a master. The blues is such a malleable form, you can turn it into almost anything. I'd prob. even get into opera under blues circumstances.

Ah, Silver Springs is the lure that got me into this crazy fandom. Specifically, the live Dance version. I kept channel surfing and getting the concert at the exact moment when Stevie turns to Lindsey and rails about him "never getting away." Drama! Passion! Romance! Stalkerdom! My kind of world.

Up to that point, I knew FM's songs, of course, but they were too rich for my teenbopper heart.

Now, I love Sara, Save Me a Place (especially live), Say Goodbye, Bleed to Love Her and probably much more that I'm blanking on.

My favorite Stevie song outside of FM (even though it's listed as a FM song) is Real Tears.
Lindsey? For personal reasons You Do or You Don't. And, actually, if I'm being honest, I love Under the Skin more.

And ...that's all for now.
