14 years has given me the wisdom to recognize the greatness of Sugar Daddy. It's probably one of Christine's most underappreciated songs. I still don't care for Temporary One and I would definitely consider it to be her "worst" Fleetwood Mac song but it's not bad.

When You Say is without a doubt the worst solo song she's performed. It truly shows how dreadful that tune is that even Christine's vocals can't save it. Of all the solo songs she wrote and recorded, I'd say Liar is the worst.

Yes, it's underrated. I remember reading several posts about not liking this song, from a long time ago. I've liked it since the first time I heard it, when I got the White Album.

I don't like Temporary One, but I don't define it as a bad song. Ricky is.

If I had to pick one it would be One More Night. It just kind of drags on. However, I love Sugar Daddy, Temporary One and Ricky. All three great tracks IMO.

In truth, I believe Christine has been to a lot of places that we haven't.

I mean she went on Safari, too!!

No, she actually did go on a safari! she did it once she was flying again...can't remember the exact year. But I think she went with Robbie Patton, actually. they were good buddies.

That’s good to hear. I knew she’d done the safari when she began flying again. Glad she went with a good buddy.

In her last video appearance (when accepting the Trailblazer Award), she mentioned wanting to do another safari, that she could still recall the smell of the earth and the animals. I don’t think she ever got to do that second safari.

But it’s a serious point. I think Chris was a serious music connoisseur and can imagine her listening to all sorts of music at high volume in either her Kent mansion or her Belgravia’s apartment. I think she’d really dig Gordon Lightfoot and maybe picked up on some of his lyrics.
‘Oh, that sounds interesting- I can name drop that as a nod to GL’

Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald is a lovely old song. But for me, If You Could Read My Mind will always be his standard. One of my favourite songs….ever!

Temporary One, One More Lonely Night, Only Over You, Honey Hi, and Sugar Daddy are the only songs by Christine in FM that I don’t care for and skip. That’s a pretty good track record!

At the risk of being told The power of God compels you!!! , Honey Hi is not within the songs I can't stand, but I don't like it that much. It is probably the song I like less of Tusk Chris songs. But I don't dislike it.
