Top 20 Christine McVie Songs

TrueFaith77 · #1 07-09-2008, 01:10 PM

To celebrate the Fourth of July, I spent the weekend listening to the songs of Lindsey, Stevie, and Christine. So, to commemorate, I decided to make lists of my 20 favorite songs by each singer. I even think maybe I'll redo the lists every year on the Fourth weekend!

The parameters for my lists (though you may include whatever you like): (1) Solo and Fleetwood Mac tracks qualify; (2) Must be commercially released as music or video; (3) No cover songs; and (4) "The Chain" was exempt from all the lists (in many ways, that song belongs to John McVie's bass line anyway) -- though it is worthy of all of them.

Here's the list I developed for Christine, listed preferentially:

My Top 20 Christine McVie Songs

1. Oh Daddy, Rumours (1977)
2. Over & Over, Tusk (1979)
3. Honey Hi, Tusk (1979)

Hey, thanks! I had to follow the rules about song authorship, otherwise, I would have put the live-in-studio version of "Crazy 'Bout You Baby" from Madison Blues in there, too

Betsy · #13 07-12-2008, 05:12 PM

Why - Mystery to Me (played six times - one right after the other)
Love in Store - (Tusk? Tango?) played six or seven times -one right after the other
Temporary One - The Dance - (also played six or seven times)

That makes my 20.

Then breaking the rules....

I Can't Help Falling in Love with You
and Roll with Me Henry... some kind person gave these to me, here on the Ledge...
