Okay, confess.

I like Tusk about 10 times better than Rumours, and I adore all of Lindsey's songs on it, especially "Not That Funny."

Same here.

I used to hate nearly every song by Christine and Stevie.(this was when I had just become a fan)

The only FM music videos I've seen are Little Lies and Everywhere.

I don't own any FM albums from 171-1974

Up until January this year, I could not live without listening to at least one FM each day.

I seem to be the only person who prefers Mirage to Tango.

**** I prefer Tango

I don't like Red Rover.

**** I love the song!

When I See You Again grew on me.

**** I really love that song honestly.

I'm not in love with Everybody Finds Out. (It sounds like she wants to be Cher, an older diva with a dance track.) I don't hate it, I even like it, but I love RTTG much more - lyrics, instruments, production.

**** I love RTTG much more than Everybody Finds Out but I still like that song alot.

Fall from Grace is one of my least favorites on TISL, but I like TFFT.

**** OH! FFG is the best song on TISL!! TFFT is the worst!

I don't mind the dancers in the Stand Back video. Sign of the times, & they're no on too too much.

**** It fits the song and the video

With some exceptions, I prefer Chris's earlier work to her later work. Worse, I think she did some great songs post-Lindsey.

**** BTM was Christine's time to shine I believe!!! I love Christine's pre S/L ( esp WHY) but post is good too.

I find a couple of Lindsey's songs monotonous on Tusk.

**** Yes, I agree.

I think Stevie looked better in the Seven Wonders video than in any other.

**** OH YES! Sexy! I think she looks great in the white dress scenes, but I also love the red dress lounging on the loveseat in Hold Me and the leaning against the lampost in Gypsy.

Empire State doesn't bother me. Family Man does.

**** I hate both sorry.

Just my (unpopular) opinions. (Flame away. ) Burn! Just kidding!

What's your most unpopular FM opinion?

Im tired of The White Album and Rumours and I can't listen to them anymore. Isn't that awful.

Confessions....

I think Jimmy Iovine was actually Stevie's best producer, and brought out her most engaging qualities better than anyone else.

I enjoy the "two worst Stevie songs ever"... "Welcome To The Room... Sara," and "When I See You Again."
In fact, I love "When I See You Again" FAR MORE than even "Landslide."

"No Questions Asked," "Affairs Of The Heart," "Freedom," and "Paper Doll" are some great, rocking songs, and are undeservedly maligned by fans who don't want to believe that Stevie did anything good in Fleetwood Mac post-Lindsey.

"As Long As You Follow," "Save Me," "Heart Of Stone," "I Do," and "Nights In Estoril" are among Christine's best compositions, and are just as wonderful as anything from the 'Rumours' era.

'Tango In The Night' is my favorite Mac album (though 'Say You Will' may eventually edge it out).

"Family Man" is a fun tune, and I like the sentiment behind the lyrics. I'm glad it's on 'The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac.'

I think that some of Lindsey's 'Tusk' tunes are rather dull, once the novelty of their unconventional production wears off, but "I Know I'm Not Wrong" is one of my all-time favorite L.B. songs.

IMO, Billy Burnette and Rick Vito were great assets to Fleetwood Mac, and I wish that lineup had lasted longer... but I sorely missed Lindsey's production flourishes.

'Behind The Mask' and 'Time' are great albums, and are not embarassments to the Fleetwood Mac legacy by any means.

I loved Lindsey's impassioned take on "Here Comes The Sun."

I loved the ultra-raspy nature that Stevie's voice had, circa 1983-1987, and I think her current lower-register growl is far more fascinating than the "pretty" range she had from 1976-1979.

Hmm... I'm sure there are more, but that's all for now.
Fun thread, by the way!

[Johnny Stew]

Ooh, and I forgot a doozy...
Jeremy Spencer is my all-time least favorite Fleetwood Mac member.


*ducks from the amp chiliD just threw at me!*

[goldustboi]

I've loved reading everyone else's and iv now got a few of my own, some of which have already been said:

- I prefer Mirage to Tango. WISYA and WTTRS are, in a word, crap.

-The only stevie solo albums iv got areTISL and Timespace, both of which i think r ok but nothing w/out lyndsey.

-Iv never heard any of Lyndseys solo stuff other than what was meant for GOS

-I cant syand goodbye baby

-I woild much prefer going to see FM in concert when they were high on drugs than the way they are now.

-I missed Chris on SYW at first but her absence doesnt bother me one bit.

-havent heard Time

I only really loved Fleetwood Mac when most of the members were stoned on cocaine or pot. Related to that, I think they were more interesting in their 20s & 30s than they have been in their 40s & 50s.

David I totally know what you mean - I even have felt recently re: their live performances, to make the suggestion that they get back on the good stuff BUT, in terms of the actual album.. if I didn't know any of the current press, and someone told me that they were all on a high when they wrote these songs, it would explain a lot. I've gotta say that their material has only improved with age and become more curious and interesting.

And of course on the Christine front, give me her an album she recorded on a Casio while hanging from the rafters - I'd buy it and no doubt love it!

[Vianna]

Let's see-I really don't like GYOW-now that's real heresy=:-)

Since I owned Tusk as my first Fleetwood Mac album, when I got Rumours it sounded kind of bland to me. I don't see a lot of difference between the White album and Rumours.

My second favorite album is Tango.

I kind of put Mirage in there with Rumours and the White album-they all sound kind of bland compared with Tusk.

Say You Will-the verdict is kind of still out with me-I agree with Chili though that the sequencing of the songs is really not good.

Let's put this in perspective though-I'd still rather listen to FM for hours than any other band for hours=:-)

[CarneVaca]

Sheryl Crow should have joined Fleetwood Mac for Say You Will and taken half of Stevie's song allotment.

[tommer]

ok... raise shields.

1- Tango is FM's best album

2-When I See You Again & Welcome To The Room...Sara are stevie's biggest contribution to the band/

3-i support warners' attempts to kill lindsey's solo career, his solo albums are just horrendous.

4-a rock star needs to look like one. stevie must not be seen in public wearing glasses, and a face lift could also be taken into consideration at her age, john on the other hand must never be allowed to face a camera again.

[Grainuaile]

~*I like Family Man. A lot.

~*I have never listened entirely to Tango. At least, not that I can remember.

~*I don't miss Chris. I thought I would, but I truly don't.

~*My favourite Lindsey look is the afro and beard.

~*Blue Letter is in my top 3 songs from the White album.

~*I um, don't really like SOTM. There, I finally said it!

[Mad4stevie]

Some more . . .

I don't own any FM prior to LB and SN joining the band, except for the one disc from the box set that I never listen to.

I don't own any solo albums from Christine or Lindsey, but I own all of Stevie's solo albums.

I detest Stevie's rapsy period in the 80's - her Red Rocks video is embarrassing. She looks terrible and those close-ups are obviously not from the concert. The growling during Edge of 17 on that video is horrible. This concert is supposedly the last time she used coke (and from the looks of it, thank God!).

[tommer]

OH! I FORGOT!

GYPSY SUCKS!
i never managed to understand what's the big attraction there, i find it to be fluffy and corny, like taking all of stevie's cliche's and squeezing them into one single song, draining it from any possible emotion in the process, (and the video's cheesy too).

[Mac Fan]

here's some I forgot:

I don'r own any solo albums by Chris or Pete.(or any memeber apart from Stevie and Lindsey who have released solo albums)

I think Tusk and Behind The Mask are the 2 best FM albums.

I would really love it, if the BTM lineup, do another album.

Yikes... a face lift? Whats wrong with her natural aging? Yikes, you have to cut your whole face, stretch it and re-sew it back on. I know she had the implants and all, but the thought of her getting a facelift gives me the heebie-jeebies!

As far fetched as that idea is...i like it.
