Mirage was the last "band" effort, IMO. Mirage kicks Tangos ass.
Well Tango from all accounts wasn't really a proper band effort as it was made. Mick was a drugged out mess, Stevie was there for like 1/16th of the time, I think I read somewhere John was having some major problems with his drinking (idk where I read this tho). That might have had something to do with it sounding too "computer" (although I think it sounds fine tbh, just very 80s). The band members themselves were all a mess and very fractured and not really together enough properly to really record together how they should've. Isn't that kinda why Lindsey always said it was a nightmare to make and why he bailed right after?

Idk tho I guess this is just a matter of different strokes for different folks because I like Tango, it has filler and is super 80s but I honestly like it, the songs off it that I like best I listen to a lot.

I'm just saying, that it's my least favorite, of
White
Rumours
Tusk
Mirage
Live, and
Tango.

Hands down, my least. I far prefer Live to Tango.

I far prefer Tango to SYW, though. There, how's THAT for some love?!?!

Well, SYW was a Lindsey solo album with Mick John and Stevie's solo songs.

It's not even B/N because they really didn't work together.
Buckhingham/McVie: They are actually working together.

Law and Order is one of my favorite albums of all time, and Christine has a presence on there. So, may we deduce that I like most Buck/McVie projects? Well, that don't sound like computers!

I have to say I have only heard this once and can't get it out of my head. so I just listened to it again and really think this would have been fantastic as a finished product. Sounds like they layed it down only once in pure demo form with a drum machine. Should be on the Buckingham Mc Vie album.

The keyboard and guitar sound like midi... and then maybe they just never got back to it...

I have never even heard of this song.

I would have been happy if this song, you and I part 1, and Rickey replaced all of Stevie's songs. This could have been the first Buckingham Mc Vie!

Bob Welch should have changed his mind in '75/76, decided to return, and they kept Lindsey, and kicked old twat's her name to the curb.

Now that would've been the ultimate FM.

That would really be interesting.

I do like Seven Wonders a lot. One of the things I like about it are the BuckVie harmonies.
