Default What solo song would you have liked to be of Fleetwood Mac?

I think this poll has not been posted, as I remember

I've chosen some solo songs from the Fleetwood Mac singers, and ask you what song would you have liked to be part of a Fleetwood Mac studio album?

I'm excluding Stand Back and Go Insane, cause they are enough related to the band, being included in shows.

You are welcome to mention also any other song not included in the poll.

By the way, there wasn't any special reason to include 4 Chris songs and 3 from L&S each. It is just that 10 is the limit. 12 could have been more fair.

And the songs I included in the poll were almost randomly. Tried to not think that much choosing them.

Voted GAHOM because I always think it is a FM song for a split second - close 2nd is If Anyone Falls.

I picked Moonlight.

I like it on IYD - but I think it could have been even greater in the context of Fleetwood Mac.

I chose Friend. Something about the whole song is just classic Fleetwood Mac to me. There are shades of the You Make Loving Fun clavi, the song is anchored with a strong bass ala John McVie, and the lyrics are definitely Mac mystical.

Well, 1st off, pretty much ALL of Christine's 1984 album... And, the first 3 songs on In The Meantime.

Stevie:

Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind (as is, it sounds like a FMac track, but would've liked to have heard Lindsey's & Christine's input and of course the Mick & John rhythm section)

Sable On Blond (with Mick on drums it has a bit of the FMac flavor already, but would've liked the entire band's input...but, keep Lori, Sharon & Sandy's background vocals)

Outside The Rain (it's already so close to "Dreams" that even she medley-d them.)

No Spoken Word (I just wonder if a FMac version would have that "sock in the gut" angry power that the Rock A Little version has)

If I Were You (an organic sound instead of the synth & keyboard heaviness of the Rock A Little version)

Whole Lotta Trouble (would've LOVED to have heard the BTM lineup tackle this one. The closest thing to a bluesy song in Stevie's solo career and she let's Rupert synth it out...for shame, for shame. In Fleetwood Mac she had a blues guitar player just waiting in Rick Vito...oh, what could've been...{distant sad look})



Lindsey:

Shadow Of The West (doesn't Christine sing backgrounds on this one as it is? Or, am I confusing it with Lindsey doing backgrounds on her "Who's Dreaming This Dream"?)

Loving Cup (would like to hear this song with Mick & John instead of programmed drums & synthesised bass)

Due to Tango In The Night, we have a little idea what the tunes on Out Of The Cradle would've sounded like as FMac songs, but specifically I'd like to hear these as FMac songs:

Don't Look Down
Countdown
Say We'll Meet Again
You Do Or You Don't
(although having the identical bridge later used on "Bleed To Love Her" I have some idea)

Of your list Friend and Moonlight are the most classic Mac sounds. but Trouble is good as well.

I always wished the Rumous line up performed One in a Million and How Still My Love. And when I heard Forgiveness and Giving it Back I thought "this is the closest thing to Mac I've heard in about 20 years.
