Fleetwood Mac sings that song!?

Wayne2 · #1 10-01-2002, 10:35 PM

For those who had to rediscover FM, which songs did you recognize but had no idea it was FM

1) Big Love.

Actually most of my memories of Mac was from TITN. When i picked up the CD this year and played it I thought Big Love sounded pretty cool, but when the chorus came, I felt like i went through a time warp. "looking out for love..."! sent a chill down my spine. This of course is my favorite Mac song now.

2) Wish You were here

When i first picked up Mirage, for some reason i found myself singing along to track 12, which was pretty weird because i couldn't remember where i knew this song from. When the chorus came on, it all came back to me. One of my aunts had this song on a tape and used to play it all the time.

Oooh, tons of songs I've done that with.

Gypsy was my big one, I heard it on the radio and was like, "Oh, must be Velvet Underground" and so I was telling a friend who likes FM too and she was like, "You DORK, it's FM!" and so that was my first formal introduction to them, and I started absorbing as much as I could.
I also did that with songs on the radio : Monday Morning, Dreams, The Chain, Gold Dust Woman, You Make Lovin' Fun, Go Your Own Way, Hypnotized.
Don't Stop I knew subconsiously from Clinton's use.
For awhile, like every song on the radio that I'd ask about would be Fleetwood, it almost got to be scary, like a conspiracy by my dad to never let me hear Fleetwood in my life and know it.

Rhannion
Go your own way
Draems(ok, before I liked FM I'd never heard this version before, but have heard the cover by The Corrs)
Little Lies.
I actually didn't rediscover FM, but my mum used to play them to me when I was a baby.

"Little Lies", "Hold Me" and "Don't Stop", mostly.

Song of the moment - Man Of The World

at first.. looooong time ago, I wasn't at all aware that Need Your Love So Bad was a mactune. Or any of the green-stuff.

In the UK for a long time The Chain was used as the theme for Formula 1. And so many people had no clue it was by Fleetwood Mac!

lol....I was about to post exactly the same thing....! I think I went through watching F1 for about 7 years from '84 to '91 without knowing what that AWESOME theme tune was.....!! I eventually found out in '92 when I went go-karting for the first time and they played it...I asked one of the marshalls and I still remember exactly what he said..."It's The Chain....wicked Fleetwood Mac tune!"......I was already in love with "Tango In The Night" so I just thought..."Coooool!!!!!"

What is Formula 1?

Man, I must be old....I never had an experience with the BN line-up like that.

I didn't know that Black Magic Woman was an old FM tune, though until a few years ago.

Once in 1992, my stupid 15 year old brother was in our garage with a bunch of his friends, and "Sweet Emotion" came on the radio. He said, trying to lok like a know-it-all, "This is such a cool new song..." I know I should have waited....I should have been a good older sister and not embarrassed him in front of his friends...but I couldn't help it! I just blurted out, "You are dumber than a box of rocks! That is a 70's Aerosmith song!"

Damn young 'uns!!!

The F.I.A.'s equivalent of Indy Racing....22 cars, 11 teams, currently led by Ferrari, BMW, and McLaren, about 18 tracks per season, mainly in Europe, but also in Malaysia, Japan, Australia, Brazil and the U.S.A.

(The Indianapolis Grand Prix happened last weekend.)

Oh, thanks, I thought it must be television show, or something like that, in order to have a theme song.

BlueGrass · #11 10-02-2002, 02:45 PM

I didn't know FM did "Little Lies" and "Hold Me" until like '98.

Well, I never really got any FM songs confused except for the difference between Stevie FM songs and Stevie solo songs. Before The Dance, I thought Dreams and Gypsy were both Stevie solo songs.

EnchantedStorms · #13 10-02-2002, 06:17 PM

I didn't have any idea, until just a couple of years ago....(actually, I think it was when I got my computer three yrs. ago)...that "Holiday Road" was a Lindsey song...or that Stevie sang on Kenny Loggins' "Whenever I Call You Friend".

I don't think I've ever gotten any FM songs confused, though.

This year, when I became a fan, I'd only just realised that Little Lies was by FM. I liked it when I was younger(5 or 6)and had no idea who sang it.

sodascouts · #15 10-03-2002, 05:23 PM

When I heard "Silver Springs" on the radio in 1997 and the announced said "Fleetwood Mac" I thought oh, that's a 70s group, right? I had NO name recognition with them at all.

So I go to the store and buy the Dance and I look at the Greatest Hits as well and I'm like - "What, Hold Me? Gypsy? Little Lies? Cool!" Angrily, I noticed none of these were on the Dance (what kind of a live show doesn't have these their 'great hits', I thought) but I bought the Dance anyway.

Put that in - "Oh! 'Thunder only happens when it's raining'...I know this song! Oh! ' I never did believe in miracles'...I know this song! ' Don't Stop thinking about tomorrow"'....hey I know this song! You get the idea. lol

And so I saw the light and realized yes, FM is the best band that ever existed!
