Unpopular FM Opinions

[louielouie2000]

1. I think the 1975 'white album' is middle of the road and boring.
2. Rhiannon should have been pulled from the set 30 years ago- post Betty Ford Stevie can't do the song justice.
3. I'd rather the band not tour again, but instead focus their remaining years on recording new albums.
4. I think some of Stevie's Say You Will songs like Illume and Destiny Rules rank among the best she's ever recorded. I easily put them along side with Gold Dust, Gypsy, etc.
5. Only Over You and Mystified rank among my favorite Christine songs.
6. The quality of material on the EP is an abomination.
7. I tend to think there is more truth to Carol Ann Harris' book than fiction.
8. I find albums like Penguin & Heroes Are Hard to be delightful; their warts only make them more interesting to me.
9. Some of Christine's best songwriting is outside of the presence of Buckingham Nicks- her pre 1975 Mac albums and In The Meantime contain some incredibly revealing lyrics.
10. Bare Trees makes me want to gouge my ears out. It's so incredibly derivative and behind the musical times of that era.
11. I find Bob Welch to be a more interesting musician than Peter Green.
12. I think the original Silver Springs sounds unfinished, and would have been a poor fit for Rumours.
13. The material Lindsey released on his 21st century solo albums is better than most anything he ever did with Fleetwood Mac.
14. Songs like When I See You Again and the Second Time are some of the most revealing of Stevie's career. They truly impart how far she'd fallen, and their shocking audio quality really enforces the subject of the songs.
15. I love the hell out of FM cover songs, they fascinate me endlessly. Hearing how new artists interpret these old songs really sets my mind afoot. I especially love the Just Tell Me That You Love Me tribute album from a few years ago.
