A Christine filled Say You Will

[Hawkeye]

I can't remember if this topic has been brought up before, It probably has maybe once, but I cna't remember it so I think it'd be fun to do it agian. What if they let Christine record with Fleetwood Mac in 2003 and just not tour. Now I;m going to say right now that I "like" all 18 songs on the released Say You Will. I could theoretically not skip one of them, which I cna't say for almost any previous Fleetwood MAc album except Mystery To Me. But I don't "love" all 18. And then there's In the Meantime where I think I "love" about half of her album. So if I could cut 3 songs of Stevie's and 3 of Lindsey's from Say You Will leaving their 6 best, and bring over Chris's 6 best from In the Meantime, that to me would've been one incredible album, that could've maybe matched Tusk. So lets all make our new 18 song Say You Will's (well my CD can't be called SYW anymore because that's the first song I'd cut :laugh ) There's no rule that it has to be divided evenly between the 3 since it never was in the past, but that's what I'm gonna do. I'm not putting them in order, but you can (I know Chili will):

Stevie:

Illume
Thrown Down
Destiny Rules
Everybody Finds Out
Smile At You
Silver Girl

Say You Will and Running Through the Garden were easy cuts, but I couldn't decide between Silver Girl and Goodbye Baby, but opted to keep Silver Girl, since I decided Chris would now close the album.

Lindsey:

Whats the World Coming To
Murrow Turning Over in His Grave
Peacekeeper
Come
Red Rover
Down On Rodeo

Bleed To Love of course was easy because of the redundency. I figure since Say Goodbye is on UTS it could just wait til then to be released. Down on Rodeo I had to include to make this perfect Fleetwood Mac album work. Steal Your Heart Away is OK, but it's bland like Say You Will. Down on Rodeo just kicks its ass, and hell it could still be released on UTS for all I care, I just feel it would've made Say You Will better.


Christine:

Friend
You Are
So Sincire
Forgiveness
Anything Is Possible
Northern Star

Here's an alternative take on Mac in the 00s. I had earlier made a rather lengthy and historically unhelpful (but still FUN!) playlist recommendation. This is definitive. This was designed to introduce friends & fam to the Mac's activities on the 00s (NOT including SYW). All my buds who've had a chance to give this a listen have praised it to the skies ... and felt the love bouncing from song to song.

Yeah, my choices are similar to yours, except I'd replace So Sincere and Northern Star with Bad Journey and Givin' it Back. Tough choice, since I love every song on ITM.
