No, it's a co-write and both perform on it..

The marriage between text and the melodic line is a bad one. Divorce court.
Now that someone mentioned Ricky, I would have preferred they play that for the Dance than Temporary One. However, I have used the "bridge" lyrics elsewhere and recite them often.

Well, that and our "undying devotion to Fleetwood Mac"...even though we MOSTLY disagree about what's good & bad about the band. But, yeah, finally...some common ground!

You'd THINK that Christine would've found a way to make it listenable...but unfortunately, no. It's really HER only glitch tune....as well as Danny's. Of all the songs of his to cover...it's a shame that there's TWO VERSIONS of it to hate.

Instrumentally, it's too close for comfort to Bob Welch's "Safe Harbour"...like they used it for the basis of "Mystified".

(At least it's a closer comparision than Peter Green's "World Keeps On Turning" & the Buckingham/McVie "World Turning"...even though Mick tried to say that one grew out of the other, in his book)

And I don't know, would "You And I Part 2" be considered a Christine song (or a Lindsey song)? That has to be one of the most annoying pieces of dribble I've ever wasted my time listening to (right up there with "Rag Doll" by Aerosmith).
Warm Ways is such a beautiful song. Everytime I hear it I feel like I'm wrapped up in a warm blanket on a cold day or lying in a bed of pillows on a comfortable couch.

Again, we're not ever going to be in the same ballpark on '74, either (and especially in regards to your inflammatory remark about Sir Paul!! ). Thought we might have a meeting point with Joni and Court & Spark , but you shot that down before the sentence was finished. Nope, the Stones released It's Only Rock & Roll in '74, Zeppelin didn't release anything because they were touring the world in '74, Deep Purple was prolific that year with Burn AND Stormbringer...John Lennon released Walls & Bridges....and Dylan?

Again I ask: Were you even THERE in '74 or are you looking back on the year as some "historical reference point"? Because some of your comments really don't seem to come from a place of somebody who LIVED in that era...that they're from somebody looking back on a time before their own.

I graduated HS in '73, so that whole 1973-76 span just blends into one big blob of time for me (even moreso the longer time passes)...I don't really even count individual years in that era...for me, that was MY era musically

PERSONAL "Landmark" albums of that era 73-76 (if my chronology is correct):
Paul McCartney/Wings - Band On The Run
Paul McCartney/Wings - Venus & Mars
John Lennon - Mind Games
John Lennon - Walls & Bridges
George Harrison - Dark Horse
Ringo Starr - Ringo
Ringo Starr - Goonight Vienna
Fleetwood Mac - Penguin
Fleetwood Mac - Mystery To Me
Fleetwood Mac - Heroes Are Hard To Find
Fleetwood Mac - Fleetwood Mac
Buckingham Nicks
Deep Purple - Burn
Deep Purple - Who Do We Think We Are?
Deep Purple - Stormbringer
Steely Dan - Pretzel Logic
Steely Dan - Katy Lied
Steely Dan - Royal Scam
CSNY - Four Way Street
Eric Clapton - 461 Ocean Blvd
The Who - Who By Numbers
Rolling Stones - It's Only Rock & Roll
Rolling Stones - Goat's Head Soup
Alice Cooper - Billion Dollar Babies
Alice Cooper - Muscle Of Love
Led Zeppelin - Houses Of The Holy
Led Zeppelin - Physical Graffitti
Bob Dylan - Planet Waves
Bob Dylan - Before The Flood
Bob Dylan - Blood On The Tracks
Leon Russell - Leon Live
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Brain Salad Surgery
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Welcome Back My Friends...
Poco - Crazy Eyes
Poco - Cantamos
Eagles - Desperado
Eagles - On The Border
Eagles - One Of These Nights

And, more that I don't have time to list. To me, those early/mid 70's were a "cup runneth over" with great music...'74 being right there in the middle of it all.
wheres Neil Young- Tonights the Night in that list. AAnd speaking of NY wasnt Four Way Street way before 1973?

Did you not read my "And more I don't have time to list" disclaimer?

And, On The Beach & Times Fades Away would've been in there, too.

Re: 4 Way Street...yeah, probably...I most likely lumped it in that '73-'76 time frame due to that's when I actually BOUGHT the album (finally).

On The Beach is a meh album? For real? I guess it would be boring if we all liked the same things etc, but that album to me is one of his greatest works. Interestingly, I think, apparently it's one of the highest rated albums of the 1970s on Rate Your Music.
Personally, a few of my all-time favourites came out that year: Big Star's Radio City, Gram Parson's Grievous Angel, Gene Clark's No Other, Dolly Parton's Jolene and those are just off the top of my head.

4 Way Street is 1971

Adding to your list, apart from the ones I've mentioned in the above post, there was also Richard & Linda Thompson's I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight, Kimono My House by The Sparks, Jackson Browne's Late For The Sky, Future Days by Can, Country Life by Roxy Music, George Jones' The Grand Tour, Brian Eno's Here Come The Warm Jets, Red by King Crimson and The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway by Genesis.

I guess it all depends on the kind of music you're into though, but for me 1974 was a very good year in music.

Well its just I feel Tonights the Night is too good to be in the "and more" section. It's top 5 of all time by any artist for me. On the Beach and Time Fades also awseome but I had to pick my battle and only felt like bitching about TTN All three of those are better then the three Eagles albums you felt compelled to actually list
