Fave Christine songs...

[wondergirl9847]

What are your top 10 fave Chris FM songs?

1. Little Lies - I could listen to this song on repeat forever, it's a song I remember hearing as a kid, but never knew it was FM! I love LB and SN's bgv's and it's got AWESOME keyboarding!!

2. Isn't It Midnight - I really love Lindsey's parts on this one and that guitar solo...WOOHOO! Oh, and I love Chris' voice on it too. LOL

3. Why - HEARTBREAKING lyrics and just awesome!

4. Brown Eyes - SEXIEST FM song...hands down!!

5. Show Me A Smile - What a great lullaby this is! I enjoy the music in this song SO much!!

6. Just Crazy Love - This is a neat song, fun to bop along to. LOL

7. Save Me - My fave BTM-era song. Extremely catchy too!

8. Keep on Going - I love her vocals and the music rox!!

9. Only Over You - I think I'm one of the few that LOVE this song, it's soothing to listen to and I love the melody of it.

10. Think About Me - This song sounds so unique to me, and everytime Chris and Lindsey "duet" together, it ROX!!

You may be asking yourself "Self, why is Songbird NOT on Christy's list?" Well, it's never been a fave of mine, it's a beautiful song and I like it, but it's not one of those put on repeat kind of songs for me. I prefer the sadness of Why over the romanticism of Songbird.

[Mac Fan]

I like everything I've heard by her.

[chiliD]

Count me in with the "like everything she's done" crowd. But, despite saying that, some seem to stand out more than others, to me:

Why
Brown Eyes
Isn't It Midnight
Bad Loser
Love Shines
Believe Me
Morning Rain
Nights In Estoril
Dissatisfied
Mystified

A Technicality:

"Keep On Going" is a Bob Welch song...Chris just sang it.

[iamstevienicks]

1.Brown eyes
2.Never make me cry
3.Sooner or later
4.Isnt it midnight
5.Everywhere
6.Wish you were here
7.Only over you
8.Little lies
9.Nights in Estoril
10.Think about me

Honorable mentions to:
Skies the limit

Songbird

Id say the only crappy song she has done is 'Mystified'

[macfan 57]

1)Songbird
2)Why
3)Hold Me
4)You Make Loving Fun
5)Spare Me A Little Of Your Love
6)Over My Head
7)Never Make Me Cry
8)Brown Eyes
9)Everywhere/Little Lies
10)Love Shines/Heart Of Stone

Did You Ever Love Me
The Way That I Feel
Come A Little Bit Closer
Prove Your Love
Say You Love Me
Warm Ways
Oh Daddy
Think About Me
Wish You Were Here
Mystified
Behind The Mask
All Over Again

I couldn't pick just 10 songs. I love every single one of her Fleetwood Mac songs.

[Phil]

"All Over Again" stinks plain and simple, as do all of Christine's contributions to the woeful "Time" album. Jesus, any kid stumbling upon her output post 1980 would surely consider the ol' girl to be the most appallingly bad recording artist known to mankind. Just imagine how envious she is of Stevie - it's a wonder she hasn't topped herself!

[Wldhrt315]

"Oh Daddy", "Songbird" and "Over and Over"

[DownOnRodeo]

1. Little Lies - Classic/ And probably the earliest Mac song for me too

2. Isn't It Midnight - I really love Lindsey's parts on this one and that guitar solo...WOOHOO! Oh, and I love Chris' voice on it too. LOL

3. Why - HEARTBREAKING lyrics and just awesome!

4. Brown Eyes - SEXIEST FM song...hands down!!

OK Christy, from here I diverge! lol

5. Over & Over - The perfect pop ballad. It's like hypnosis!

6. You Make Lovin Fun - This is THE BEST! This, GYOW and Rhiannon are Fleetwood Mac to me, if you had to really pare it all down.

7. DON'T STOP - How can I be the only one to mention this all-time classic? Did Clinton eventually ruin it for you?? lol

8. As Long As You Follow - V. well done. I love John's bass on this!

9. Only Over You - I just wanted to mention it becuase it's SO BAD! lol. It's like she deserves an award for that! Meanwhile I'd blame Lindsey just as much for the production.

10. Hold Me - For the same reasons why Christy chose Think About Me! "..everytime Chris and Lindsey "duet" together, it ROX!!" Love the piano solo parts.

11. Songbird Seeing as no. 9 was just a joke, Christine's signature piece gets a special place at no. 11. It's a lullaby just like she says. But the best thing is the live reditions and how each one is a bit different, including some truly remarkable and upliftingly powerful ones.

I could NOT disagree with you any more. "Time" was NOT woeful...it was a VERY good album...I obviously am one of the few people (probably alone like Tom Hanks in "Castaway") who would've liked to have heard a second album from that cast & crew.

Ive been listening to 'Time' ALOT recently and to be honest its a damned good album

I assume people who say they dont like it have never listened to it, or just say the hate it for the boring reason that Lindsey and Stevie arent part of it!! *yawn*

I would also like to have seen a Time 2

whats wrong with it?

[ERigby818]

1. Why (all-time fave Chris song)
2. Little Lies
3. Everywhere
4. Isn't It Midnight
5. Oh Daddy
6. Hold Me
7. You Make Loving Fun
8. Say You Love Me
9. Think About Me
10. Temporary One

These songs are some of the best Mac songs EVER.

Thinking about this is a little depressing. I have to say....as much as I have always liked the music of Stevie and Lindsey more than Christines'...I'm so afraid this new album/tour will really feel like something huge is missing. Her contribution as a songwriter, in my opinion, wasn't nearly as essential as her warm voice blending in there...especially the way it blends with Lindsey's...I'll miss that so much. Sorry to be pessimistic, but Thrown Down is just BEGGING for her harmonies in there, don't you think?

The disagreement from this side is enormous and total. First of all because Time is not a "woeful", album. While it's not the best in Fleetwood Mac's carreer it's a pretty enjoyable effort. And second of all because all of Christine's contributions are fantastic gems, pretty much some of the most commited songs she'd ever written to that date. And "All Over Again" is a fantastic way of saying goodbye to the band. Much better (although I really like it) than Stevie's "The Second Time".

Just imagine how envious she is of Stevie - it's a wonder she hasn't topped herself!

Envious of Stevie???? Now that's a new thing. Good thought. First time I ever come to read such a thing. You have got to be kidding.

I absolutely agree with everything you said, and particularly with that statement. Thank you for expressing my feelings so elloquently.
