Default You create the best album

Hello
This is my first ever post on this board. I've enjoyed reading many of the old threads but haven't seen everything yet. So, sorry if this has been done before but:

If you had to create a Fleetwood mac album for someone who knew nothing about the band, which 3 tracks would you choose to best represent Lindsey, Christine and Stevie.
You can choose one bonus track that you love as the 10th song.

My choices are quite mainstream. you can make yours as adventurous as you like.

La Nicks
1. DREAMS (yes, it's over played and i get tired of it sometimes but it's the song that introduced me to FM and I love it. Haunting, ethereal, it's the essence of Stevie)

2. RHIANNON (this IS Stevie)

3. GYPSY (Stevie's heart and Liddy's guitar - brilliant combination)

The Buckmeister

1. GO YOUR OWN WAY ( Lindsey's rock classic for the ages)

2. TUSK (title track from his masterpiece album)

3. BIG LOVE (guitar god)

The songbird

1. YOU MAKE LOVING FUN (Perfect track, the essence of Christine)

2. DON'T STOP (classic. Again, yes it's overplayed but because it's great)

3. MYSTIFIED (I know it's co written with Lindsey but i love her vocal on this -golden throat)

Bonus - this was tough. Could change but for now I'm in a 'Bleed to love her ' mood.

If I had to create a Fleetwood mac album for someone who knew nothing about the band...

I sure as hell wouldn't limit it to just songs by Lindsey, Stevie, and Christine. If I did that, the person would still pretty much know nothing about the band.

If I were to give somebody who has never heard Fleetwood Mac an album that is an overview sample of what Fleetwood Mac sounds like, I certainly wouldn't limit it to just the Rumours crew.

My Fleetwood Mac sampler:

Black Magic Woman
Shake Your Moneymaker
Albatross
Oh Well
Station Man
Buddy's Song
Woman Of A 1000 Years
Hypnotized
Why
Rhiannon
Say You Love Me
Dreams
Go Your Own Way
You Make Loving Fun
Tusk
Isn't It Midnight
In The Back Of My Mind
Winds Of Change
Say You Will
Peacekeeper



EDIT: DANG, Vicky...it's another synchronous moment.

LMAO...

Great minds think alike.

I'll have to give it some thought and come up with my own list.

For the first time ever, I agree with you Thats a great overview of the history of FM - maybe you should include something from The Dance though

Good suggestion. Probably "Silver Springs"...and I also forgot "The Chain".

Hi! Welcome to the board!

It's a tough thing to do. I think I'd more or less agree with you [apart from Mystified, I might replace it with Isn't it Midnight] -- not because those are necessarily my favourite songs, but because they do sort of epitimise what each singer is about.

Interesting!

I think you should include something from mirage too - "Gypsy" & maybe another song for both TITN & Tusk (both being important albums)

i think i'd put three songs that best represent them as a band -
not necessarily one by each writer -
so probably

World Turning
The Chain
Dreams




3 songs is hard to capture this band.
I think 10 songs would be a better representation -
then you can include Black Magic Woman, Albatross and songs from Say You Will.

OK, from just the Rumours crew I'd have to have:

Lindsey's songs (to be honest I could put in so many more for Lindsey, his music really connects with me):

I'm So Afraid (not sure if it would be live or studio, but this is the song I think of when I think of Lindsey)
Big Love (Live - it doesn't fail to impress everyone I've ever let hear it.)
Go Your Own Way (Couldn't not put it in after all )

Christine's songs:

You Make Loving Fun (I just had to put it in)
Isn't It Midnight (Some really good stuff going on in this song)
Don't Stop (Just because... well... it's Don't Stop! Everyone likes it, atleast until they've heard it a million times )

Stevie's songs:

Rhiannon (essential Stevie Nicks)
Silver Springs (Live - loadsa passion in this song, just great)
Dreams ( )

For the bonus song I would probably put in The Chain since it was a whole band effort and an excellent song, but I'm very tempted to chose another Buckingham song since there are so many more I would want to put in lol.

Black Magic Woman
Shake Your Moneymaker
Love That Burns
Dust My Broom
Oh Well
Man Of The World
Somebody's Gonna Get Their Head Kicked In Tonight
Station Man
Woman Of 1000 Years
Future Games
Sentimental Lady
Dust
Spare Me A Little Of Your Love
The Derelict (for you, David)
Hypnotized
Come A Little Bit Closer
Miles Away
Why
---
Over My Head
Rhiannon
Dreams
Go Your Own Way
You Make Loving Fun
Sara
Tusk
I Know I'm Not Wrong
Gypsy
Hold Me
Tango In The Night
Isn't It Midnight
In The Back Of My Mind
Talkin' To My Heart
Big Love (The Dance)
Silver Springs (The Dance)
Everybody Finds Out
Say Goodbye
