Every time I hear it, it makes me cry. I feel every OUNCE of emotion from him on this song, especially "night after night".

But, it's all good, we just like it in different ways.

ita - everyone gets a little something different from each song. The music and arrangement of Red Rover to me has kind of like a party song theme going on a la My Little Demon. They make me want to dance. Interestingly, Stevie's POTU was such a sad, bitter song, even with the added softening lyrics. Yet, people partied their rear ends off to the dance remixes of it with wlid abandon for like three years. So, go figure

[BlueGrass]

White - Stevie
Rhiannon, Landslide

Rumours - Lindsey
NGBA, Go Your Own Way

Tusk - 3 Way Tie

Mirage - Lindsey

TITN - Lindsey

SYW - Lindsey

[Cammie]

Amen to you Bluegrass and CarneVaca
and Christy!!! All the songs have some
redeeming qualities...but we prefer male
voices!Especially Lindsey with Chris!Sky

Whatever Sugar Daddy may lack, is completely made up for with that piano and B3 sound. The "feel" of that song is awesome, IMO. World Turning and Sugar Daddy are my favorite two songs on the White album.

Hmm...it's been a while since I've listened to "Sugar Daddy"...perhaps I'll give it another listen...I just remember not liking the lyrics very much.

[The Chain]

Fleetwood Mac: Stevie Nicks/Christine(Even though I love ISA, World Turning)

Rumours: Stevie Nicks (GYOW is great too)

Tusk: Stevie Nicks (sorry ... Some of it's a little too out there)

Tango: Christine... Isn't It Midnight, Little Lies... (I really love Caroline though)

The Dance : Stevie... vocals are awsome
SYW Stevie /Lindsey WTWCT , RTTG, Miranda, SAY great....

Christine's songs on Tusk are sooooooooo underrated! I think her songs are superb on this album! Especially Never Forget. I mean all the songs are so relaxing and laid back, yet still catchy and the vocals are amazing. Who's with me?

"The Stars must be my friends to shine on me!"

I like her songs on Tusk. "Honey Hi" is the one that does it for me, I think. I love those harmonies.

Dog & Dustbin: Peter Green
Well he wrote "I Loved Another Woman", and that should be enough.

Mr. Wonderful: Peter Green
It only gets better... "Stop Messin' Around", "Lazy Poker Blues", "Trying So Hard To Forget".

Then Play On: Peter Green
Two words: "Oh Well". One of those songs that you never get tired of hearing. Any version. And I include all the Fleetwood Mac vocalists who have tried it out.

Kiln House: Jeremy Spencer
Well I think this album was sort of a way to echo some resonances from the 50's and the 60's and, from that point of view, Jeremy showed a really interesting point of view, very eclectic. The songs that get to me the most are "This Is The Rock" and "One Together". Even though Danny wrote "Jewel Eyed Judy", which is maybe my favorite, I should say that, to me, this album is dominated by the force of Jeremy. I see a little chaos coming.

Future Games: Danny Kirwan
I just think he dominates the whole thing with "Woman Of A Thousand Years". Christine comes very close, though, because her two songs are superb.

Bare Trees: Danny Kirwan
"Sunny Side Of Heaven", "Child Of Mine", and overall, "Dust". But this is such a great album: Bob shines with "Sentimental Lady" and Christine delivers two other great pop gems.

Penguin: Christine McVie
"Remember Me" might be one of her catchiest numbers. I also love "Dissatisfied" and "Did You Ever Love Me".

Mystery To Me: Christine McVie
I would call it a tie but it's against the rules... Yes, Bob has "Hypnotized" and "Emerald Eyes", but Christine's songs are, to me at least, more powerful... and I love all of them ("The Way I Feel" is very underrated), but most of all... "Why" is here.

Heroes Are Hard To Find: Bob Welch
Again it should've been a tie. But here you get "Angel", "Bermuda Triangle" and "She's Changing Me".

Fleetwood Mac: Stevie Nicks
"Rhiannon", "Crystal" and "Landslide" showed her best potential. She had to shine because she was not an instrumentalist, and my God how she did it.

Rumours: Christine McVie
Her non-single tracks, included the much underrated "Oh Daddy" could have been hits. "Songbird" is just magnificent... and the hits are delicious gems in the fields of pop music.

Tusk: Lindsey Buckingham
It's his album and he demonstrates it with his best songs to date... "That's Enough For Me", "Save Me A Place" and "Walk A Thin Line" are top spots for me.

Live: Stevie Nicks
"Fireflies" steals the light. Her "Rhiannon" is also great.

Mirage: Stevie Nicks
I seriously doubt that anyone shines here, really. But since I never skip any of the three Stevie tunes here, I gave her the "award". Christine wrote at least two precious tunes, but she also gave birth to the awful "Only Over You"; and Lindsey wrote "Eyes Of The World" & "Can't Go Back", but he also wrote "Oh Diane" & "Empire State"... Stevie, on the other hand, is great in her three songs.

Tango In The Night: Christine McVie
Not one misstep, really. She didn't write the REALLY bad tracks in this album. She wrote the finest.

Behind The Mask: Christine McVie
Billy and Rick weren't allowed to shine, and since this album has a lot of collaboration it was hard to decide for one member or the other... I went with Christine, again, because I think she was on top of the game in her songs, and also helping out Billy on the vocals for "In The Back Of My Mind" and "When It Comes To Love". BTW this is a GREAT album.

Time: Christine McVie
She saves the album, again! It looks very fragmented, but her five tunes are really great! Billy does great in one, not so good in other; Dave Mason is great in one, not so good in the other; I don't consider Bekka as a 'real' songwriter even though she's a fantastic singer... and I try to forget that Mick actually did something on this album, other than drumming. "All Over Again" and "Sooner Or Later" are two great gems.

The Dance: Stevie Nicks
She gets "Silver Springs" to shine, and writes (to me) the best 'new' number of the set, "Silver Girl". She's the star of the show.

Say You Will: Lindsey Buckingham
Dominated from beginning to end by his quality songs. His album of real triumph and glory. "Red Rover", "Steal Your Heart Away" and most of all "Say Goodbye" are there to justify it. Welcome back Lindsey.

That was fun.

Tusk: Stevie Nicks--HER BEST EVER

Thank YOU. Not only does it have my 3 most favorite songs of hers on one disc (Sisters, Storms, Angel) but 3 of my favorite songs by the band in general.

[CarneVaca]

Strand, whassamattah with you? Red Rover is quite chilling and haunting. If there is humor, it is of the dark kind, but I don't see it.

Then again, I've interpreted songs quite differently from others. I remember laughing my cu off when I heard "Brian Wilson" by the Barenaked Ladies the first few times. Then I had a couple people tell me they thought the song was very sad. To this day, I don't see it.

After picking Christine for Tango, I've almost changed my mind. It really is a toss-up between her and Lindsey.

True, but listen to Howlin' Wolf's "Who's Been Talkin'?". You'll hear where Peter got "ILAW" from. Not putting Peter down, at all, since I think everybody knows how I feel about him...but, the roots are definitely showing on this one.

I know you meant to type "SWEET Girl", didn't you?


I like the way you explained all your choices. Even somewhat swayed me to your way of thinking on the ones where we made different choices! Kudos!
