buckingham nicks mcvie

buckingham hands fucking down

McVie > Buckingham > Nicks

^This. I do think that some of McVie's best songs are on Bare Trees and Future Games but she's still on point all through this era.

It's more accurate to argue that McVie's Tango songs lent themselves to Buck's ministrations more than Nicks distracted doodles.

Never forget: WASAMATTAH BABEH BABEH BABEH

Her 1884 solo album has some good stuff too, but xpost "no middle ground between transcendent and clunkers" ain't too far off the mark.

Sorry! I meant to post this

I'm a sucker for this one. The piano interlude after the first verse is gorgeous.

honey hi is a dark horse mcvie masterpiece

honey hi has that amazing instrumental passage about a third of the way in and the vocal arrangements on the outro are pretty cool but lord its good to talk to you even sweeter than wine omg

daddy all im tryin to tell you

oh daddy can fuck right off though

but she can be your daddy

suddenly had an awesome vision of Christine singing Prince's "Sister" as an uptempo bouncer in the mode of "Say You Love Me"

christine mcvie can be my daddy any day

the stars must be my friends to shine for me

Over My Head is the ultimate FM song and McVie the band's greatest songwriter.

buckingham p easily. after looking up writing credits i might say mcvie slightly over nicks but not sure. all three are obv classic.

me too

Voted for Lindsey, didn't even have to think about it. Christine runner-up. Stevie Nicks, I will never understand the love for her, she is in my top five hated artists ever.

looks like i picked the wrong week to give up FP

Hating on anyone who can even choose

Stevie Nicks, I will never understand the love for her, she is in my top five hated artists ever.

― Sandy,

Stories!

McVie's "As Long as You Follow" is one of the great presumptuous additions to a GH album. "Got a Hold On Me" one of the few solo FM member tracks that sounds like it could be dropped right onto a FM record.

Songbird and Oh Daddy are terrible but I love Say You Love Me, Over My Head, Hold Me, Little Lies and Everyhere more than any five song selection for the other two.

Songbird is terrible? *dies*

damn, RIP Johnny Fever

It's sad. I was a poster.

a good one

It's hard to vote in this because it's an album by album thing for me. For example, Buckingham's tracks stand out for me on Tusk but it's McVie that delivers the highlights on Tango In The Night.

Stevie Nicks, I will never understand the love for her, she is in my top five hated artists ever.

― Sandy,

Stories!

― guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn)

I wish! No stories this time, I've never spoken to her, although the people I know who have all say basically the same thing - that she was insufferable then but is lovely and gracious now. I'm pretty sure I'd like her as a person if I sat down and had lunch with her or something.
Nah, I just can't stand her voice. And her songs. I hate her songs. I hate the dopey lyrics. The only thing I like that she ever came up with lyrically was the phrase "Edge of Seventeen" - I thought that was a cool way to describe that line between innocence and adulthood, until I found out that she just misheard Tom Petty's wife, in her heavy Gator Country accent, talking about how she knew him since he was the age of seventeen. And I don't find her melodies to be at all compelling, they're like little snippets of ideas that never seem to go anywhere.
I really hate Stevie Nicks.

stand back

Worried that I'm gonna be put in ILM time out for hating Stevie

Nah, she's sainted in many places, but not necessarily here.

even a fanboy (yours truly obv) will acknowledge her insufferable tendencies.

from everything i've read and heard, she was indeed a lovely & gracious person ('sweet and playful' might be more apt, actually) right up to the late seventies, whereupon things got weird fast.

from a RS profile of Christine around the time of her solo album:

More recently, Christine admits that she found her cohort Stevie Nicks' marriage "very, very bizarre" as well. Nicks married Kim Anderson, the widower of her best friend, Robin Anderson, early in 1983; they are now divorced. "She thought it was what Robin would have wanted," says Christine. "But they'd known each other for a long time, and it didn't seem like crazy love to me. I didn't buy her a wedding present."

Indeed, a touch of sadness creeps into Christine's voice when she discusses the transformation of Nicks' personality over the last ten years. "Ten years ago, she really had her feet on the gound, along with a trememdous sense of humor, which she still has. But she seems to have developed her own fantasy world, somehow, which I'm not part of. We don't socialize much."

I've got to admit, it bugged me that "Stand Back" got added to recent Fleetwood Mac sets. But I have long been obsessed with this clip, which features Benmont Tench manually playing the arpeggiated synth pattern:

There are of course other aspects of the video that catch the eye, too.

They've played it in concert since the 1988 world tour iirc. When I saw 'em during The Dance tour it and "Go Insane" were played.

Go Insane fits FM sets much better, since so much of FM is just Lindsey. But Stand Back stands out.

that's a pretty badass trio of backing singers in that 'stand back' vid

the "Nightbird" performance that same night is fantastic:
