But the scale has tipped the other way now.

To me, shipping is good. I loved it. I just didn't like the ultra-sensitivity and anger that developed when people did not agree. Michele

Yes, it was like Nurse Ratched and One flew Over the Cuckoo's nest.

Nurse Ratched would play B/N to all the patients whether they wanted to hear it or not. And if you liked Kristen, Carol, or Christine you got the lobotomy while listening to Sad Angel.

The only book to movie adaptation where the movie somehow (imo) ended up better than book. Probably because of JN.

Oh, I've never read the book so I can't compare. But you're probably right.

2. Lindsey's solo work stinks with the rare exception here and there

4. I love Tusk, but some of Tusk stinks
5. The Rick and Billy live years make me cringe "Are we havin' fun yet!?"
6. Yeah, Lindsey probably would have said that to Bob Dylan
7. Stevie, like most old people, has become more and more irritating as the years have gone on
8. Not That Funny is simply not that good...and while at least we were spared the 13 minute spectacle in 2013, he had other "Tusk" options that would have been much, much, better
9. Lindsey's voice is terrible in concert for at least the last 8 years....it is painful hearing him croak out GYOW with the lowered key and plodding tempo
10. Sometimes the fans of this band turn me off more than even the band's ridiculous personalities and drama....how grown adults can carry on about Stevie and Lindsey's ridiculous relationship and "ship" them is beyond me - they dated for what, 5 years, 40+ years ago?

To be fair some of those fanfics are interesting. But at the end of the day, yes, please get over it

I love Only Over You, Family Man, Empire State and When I See You Again.

I think Seven Wonders is a fine song, but its not a favorite of mine.

I actually prefer the album version of Oh Daddy over the demo that features Stevie vocals more prominently.

I really liked the Time album.

I'm beyond tired of Landslide.

Lindsey sang Crystal better than Stevie.

I like the Bob Welch era of FM even more than the Peter Green era.

I rank Tango and SYW over the White Album and Mirage. I like both the White Album and Mirage, but I listen to them the least.

Same! The BN version especially the live performances are >>>> to every other version, I can't when people say that the Practical Magic one is the best.

.

Same here. All the way.

In fact, as much as I enjoy the outtakes and alternative versions, the band made the right choice with the versions they used. The one exception for me is "Second Hand News." I prefer the bass line used on the earlier take.

How's this for a potentially unpopular opinion: Oh Daddy is one of their best songs. Why so many people dislike that song is beyond me.

I agree, Oh Daddy was one of my top favorites after listening to Rumours for the first time in 77

[aleuzzi]

Wow! All this love for "Oh Daddy"! So pleased! It's one of my favorite somgs and is, in its own way, as iconic as "Rhiannon."

[louielouie2000]

I'm throwing in my love for Oh Daddy as well. It will always be one of my favorite Christine songs. So atmospheric & moody.
