The "Least Favorite FM Song Contest" Thread

[MacShadowsBall]

For the Rumours album we have "Don't Stop" and "Never Going Back Again", and most likely "I Don't Want to Know" for Stevie, which ends tomorrow.

Should I include last years big winner "The Chain" in the final poll for least favorite song from Rumours?

[MacShadowsBall]

The poll for least favorite song from Rumours has been posted. Tusk starts Monday. Also remember to check out the Pre-Rumours forum for the polls for those albums!

[MacShadowsBall]

Here's an update of the Rumours era "winners" so far...

'75 Fleetwood Mac
Christine - Warm Ways
Lindsey - Blue Letter
Stevie - Crystal
Least Favorite - Warm Ways

Rumours
Christine - Don't Stop
Lindsey - Never Going Back Again
Stevie - I Don't Want to Know
Least Favorite - Don't Stop

Here's the first listings of the predictions portion of this contest. So far only a few Ledgies have participated! Each Ledge gets 1 point per correct prediction.

Fiver - 3 points
Artemis - 1 point
McTrouble - 1 point

These results just reflect '75 FM and Rumours. Those Ledgies who didn't get any predictions correct are not listed above. Don't want to embarrass anybody.

Remember I'm still accepting predictions for Tusk so its not too late for Ledgies to participate.

The final poll for Mirage has been posted. Tango in the Night starts Monday along with the first Welch/Christine album Future Games, also on Monday.

Later today, I'll post the update standings for the prediction portion of this contest.

[MacShadowsBall]

As promised here's the update standings including least fav Christine, Lindsey and Stevie for Mirage, but not yet the final vote for Mirage.

Fiver - 5 correct
McTrouble - 4 correct
Artemis - 3 correct
holidayroad - 1 correct

Looks like Mirage was easier to predict w/ a few Ledgies earning 2 points for Mirage, so far.

Tango in the Night starts on Memorial Day, so its not too late for more Ledgies to participate in the predictions.

Still accepting predictions for Tango in the Night. Also the polls are up on the Pre-Rumours forum for Future Games.

Well there's no point me checking this - I've never heard Behind The Mask

I've never been interested in listening to any FM that doesn't include my Lindsey!

There's a link on the Behind the Mask thread to myspacemusic's website with the playlist for Behind the Mask. Christine had some good songs IMO just as good as her songs from Mirage/TITN. Stevie's aren't bad while Billy and Rick's songs are good, but nothing that's really "Wow"!

Yeah if your predominately a fan of Lindsey songs and his production ability/style, then Behind the Mask( and Time) probably ain't gonna be your favorite FM albums.

Part of the problem is that they played it too safe with the material. Rick had a moster that got cut called "Got No Home" while Billy had a great pop number called "Game Of Love." "Hard Feelings" and "Stand On The Rocks" would't have been my first choices.

Also, IMO, Stevie kept her strongest material for her solo album, and gave the Mac filler. She should have given "Whole Lotta Trouble" to the Mac. I mean, when three people in your band are British blues legends and a fourth is an ex-Bluesbreaker, you gotta give them the blues song.
