Fan confessions

[welcomechris]

When I first heard "That's All For Everyone" I thought Lindsey was saying "Must Be Just To Sexy, Or Just Me"

[Macfanforever]

I have the misheard song lyrics syndrome with any artist in that matter.Listening to radios with their little 2 inch speakers full blast can make it impossible to catch the words.

Woah, lot of interesting confessions! I've got a few...

- Yes, I thought GYOW and Monday Morning (yes!) were sung by Christine;
- Honey Hi and Beautiful Child are, by far, the worst pieces of Tusk. Even The Ledge and That's Enough For Me are better!
- I don't like Rumours at all. It was THE biggest success of the band, but for me, there's lot of songs from Tusk, FM and Mirage that impressed me more.
- I don't like the accoustic versions. Big Love, Go Insane...
- Fireflies and The Farmer's Daughter are really boring for me.
- I still don't know Christine's solo work.
- And, I didn't like at all In Your Dreams and the last Lindsey albums. Maybe I must listen them a bit more!

Wow, maybe I've got more, but I don't remember now!
Regards!
Mark.

I love Fireflies, but could never latch onto Farmer's Daughter.

Under The Skin took a few years to grow on me. I didn't like it until Gift of Screws came out, and I listened to it again. GoS > UTS.

Christine's solo work - you're not missing a lot. In The Meantime is a laidback album - almost too laidback, and the mixing is kind of amateurish. The acoustic version of Friend is great, if you start there. If there's any draw to ITM for me, it's her voice, and it stands out there.

the 80s album... Skip the 1984 concert.

Should come as no surprise to ANYBODY what my "confession" is

That Lindsey Buckingham's & Stevie Nicks' careers would've began & ended with the Buckingham Nicks album & that they would've said "no thanks" to Mick's offer to join Fleetwood Mac.

[sodascouts]

Confession: For the most part, I like their mainstream material best. I know that's terribly unhip, hence the "confession" aspect; we're all supposed to declare as our favorites their most inaccessible, obscure material to prove our refined sensibilities far exceed that of the unwashed masses.

Still... give me Rumours over Tusk any day.

I can see why you wouldn't want them to join Fleetwood Mac and make it Rumours Forever, but why would you want their careers to end with the one BN album. Why wouldn't you allow them to go forward, do BN II and have success on their own, unrelated to FM?

I don't take Rumours over Tusk, but I like mainstream music too. I like POP. If an artist didn't somehow get on Casey Kasem's chart, I would not be likely to know who they were, because if it gets too deep into any one genre it alienates me.

My sensibilities aren't refined and that goes for food too.

It was 50/50 whether you or David would take the bait on that one. .

[StreetAngel86]

I thought all the band's songs were named after women ... or people. At the time i was 7 or 8 and really only knew Sara and Rhiannon

I still sing "she was just a witch" in Gypsy ... coz it sounds good

I don't own nor know of any of Christine's solo stuff

I like Welcome to the Room ... Sara as well

[ViscountViktor]

When I first read about the band on wiki, before listening to their music, I thought Lindsey Buckingham was a woman and was the lead singer.

No one will ever know what would have happened had Lindsey and Stevie not joined FM. If they had made a second Buckingham Nicks album with Rhiannon included on it and released as a single, it might have broken them through into the US charts just like the song broke FM into the top 20.

My confessions:

- I fail to understand why the performance of Sisters of the Moon in 1982 is so acclaimed by fans, I think it sounds awful.

- I prefer Christine's songs on Tusk to those on Rumours

- Everywhere is one of the bands worst singles

- Family Man is one of Lindsey's best songs

Along those same lines, I fail to understand why people like the Dance dvd version of Silver Springs so much. I actually think the song was much more exciting and charged on the Dance tour than it was in that video and it became interactive and pounding, with Lindsey moving ever closer to Stevie on the tour. In fact, by the end of the tour both Stevie and Lindsey were all the way across the stage as she sang, bumping into poor John.

By contrast, the dynamic between SnL during that dvd version of SS was less interesting to me than watching them on the Mirage video was.

Nope! I share in your opinion. Songbird makes me want to cut myself and peel my skin off! I never listen to this song, it's always a skip. And if FM closes the show with it this year, at least I will be among the 1st wave out of the parking lot.
