So good to see another Natalie Merrchant fan on here! She so rarely gets her due as a great solo artist, as well as her stuff with 10 000 Maniacs. Tigerlily is an awesome album, but Ophelia is the really underrated one - it's superb! Motherland took me a bit of work but now I like it. I haven't bought The House Carpenter's Daughter yet. As for Leave Your Sleep, I'm not too ken on it...yet. Any other Natalie fans here??

Oh, and I have a real fondoness for Hootie!

A trick of the Tail-Genesis
Making Movies-Dire Straits
Gaucho-Steely Dan

I really enjoy Natalie's solo work. The House Carpenter's Daughter is an interesting concept album, but speaking honestly I found little value in it after a few listens. The songs are early americana-folk, and are not written by Natalie....so essentially it's an album of covers, though many of the songs are not fully credited because their origin wasn't always certain. There are a few that get stuck in my head from time to time, but it's literally been 4+ years since I listened to any of the tracks.

In sum, an essential album for the loyal fan, but nothing like her original compositions.

My iPod is almost constantly on shuffle in my car, but the two non-mac related albums that I always keep in my car's CD changer are:
Patti Smith - Horses (Live from 2005)
Warren Zevon - Stand in the Fire

I just never get sick of those...

Meat Loaf
Mamas & Papas

Johnny Cash
Bobby Darin
Bruce Springsteen
Aerosmith
Dean Martin

And, dare I admit it, my Glam Rock (1970's) 6-CD set

Best musical taste thus far.

For the folks that "hardly break out a Mac record" - why are you on here ?

The TMI thread, why else?

Speaking for myself, I've been a fan for a long time....I may not listen regularly, but I still like to discuss the music from time to time, Stevie in particular.

My musical tastes tend to be current, all the time - I'm one of those people that will remain intensely loyal to an artist for the span of their career, but they must remain current to keep my attention. The oldest album I'm listening to regularly is from 2007. Stevie and FM seem to have a hard time actually making new music. I don't dwell on the past with any other artists, and Fleetwood Mac is no exception.

Stevie's new album will hold my attention for a few years, I'm sure - but good grief, how many times can I possibly listen to Wild Heart, or Tusk again? I've probably heard them all thousands of times each in their entirety!

This is my reason as well. the discussion is what I'm here for. Even if I don't listen to The Mac much...and I don't at this point. I still love coming here
