Anyone else think that Crystal is the most redneck name one can name their daughter?

(apologies to anyone on here named Crystal)

I tried making it all 75+ songs but couldnt think of 10 so I had to include Jewel Eyed Judy. I'm still sure I've missed one somewhere though.

Linda...does that count as Fleetwood Mac? Isnt that a Jeremy Spencer solo number?

The personnel on Jeremy's first "solo" album was basically Fleetwood Mac.
Plus, Fleetwood Mac included this in their live sets. (and a video of the song is included in the Fleetwood Mac "Early Years" video)

So, yeah, it counts as "Fleetwood Mac".

No one ever says that about Stand Back.

Okay, I may not reach ten...

1. Fleetwood Mac (1967 instrumental)
2. Rhiannon
3. Searching for Madge
4. Fighting for Madge
5. Buddy's Song
6. Jewel Eyed Judy
7. Sara
8. Sandy Mary (from the BBC sessions)
9. Miranda
10. Murrow Turning...

Okay, so I reached 10. A few years ago I might have had Sara at #3 but I just love the jams and Kiln House too much...

Neither Crystal nor Gypsy are used as names, and neither is Angel, although I love all three Nicks tunes. (Also love Welch's Angel.) If Goodbye Angel referred to a woman's name I would have included it at #8....

And the bottom two name songs are:

Ricky
Oh Diane

Go and tell that to Crystal Gayle.

Crystal /ˈkrɪstəl/ is a common female given name. Other forms of Crystal include Kristal, Krystal, Kristle, Cristal, Krystle, and Kristol. It is a 19th century coinage, derived from crystal, a transparent quartz gemstone, usually colorless, that can be cut to reflect brilliant light, whose name comes from Ancient Greek κρύσταλλος krystallos "ice". The Greek variant of the name is Crystallia or Krystallia (Κρυσταλλία). The TV series Dynasty made the name famous in the 1980s with a character named Krystle. Chrystal, a variant spelling, was probably influenced by Greek χρυσός khrusos "gold"

I think Aleuzzi meant that Crystal and Gypsy weren't used as names within the context of the actual songs.
