Christine Mcvie

It's the coolest goo-goo love song I can think of.

i fucking love you christine

everyone knows I'm a christine mcvie junkie here, so I'll take offense at this provocation.

In the meantime, Mr. Creme1, I had earlier predicted you to be Max instead, and I claim my 500 pence if that isn't what you are. Cheers.

I bought the double-disc comp over Xmas just so's I could own the remastered hits. I must say, "Love in Store," which I never really cared for, sounds great in this context.

"Over and Over" takes it for me. But I'm still taking Lindsey Buckingham, way before either of the chicks.

What a weird thread...unless I missed something it's as if she joined the band in 1975 or something. Her only real flaw is her consistancy.

I know, what's wrong with these people who don't care about '73 and '74 Fleetwood Mac??

"Prove Your Love" is her best song. (Um, but there are a few on Tusk I'd put right beside it)

I'm going to have to give early and mid-period Mac a rest soon, 'cause it's starting to get excessive, but was just overwhelmed by the brilliance of McVie's "Spare Me A Little Of Your Love" earlier today. "Boring" and "restrained"? Bah!

NOW YOU HAVE MADE ME PULL OUT MY COMPILATION MCVIE DISC. IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT.

BTW, "Spare..." is quite good, you are right.

But I left Sugar Daddy off it because I didn't have enough room. *weeps*

Here's my tracklisting:

1. Morning Rain
2. Show Me A Smile
3. Remember Me
4. Dissatisfied
5. Did You Ever Love Me
6. Spare A Little Of Your Love
7. Homeward Bound
8. Believe Me
9. Just Crazy Love
10. The Way I Feel
11. Why
12. Heroes Are Hard To Find
13. Come A Little Bit Closer
14. Bad Loser (this one reminds me of the evil of George W. Bush for real)
15. Prove Your Love To Me
16. Warm Ways
17. Over My Head
18. World Turning (I'm a sucker for this one, I don't know why)
19. Think About Me
20. Never Make Me Cry
21. Never Forget
15.

"Come A Little Bit Closer" drives me to tears.

But "Prove Your Love" remains her best, and one of the few things in this whole wild world that could be better than the Cocteau Twins.

"Warm Ways" is the very definition of gorgeous.

Not much love for her solo work here, alas. "Got a Hold On Me" is one of my favorite solo Mac tracks.

I know...the solo work...ahem *cough cough*

we'll not mention that. :)

Though I do love her first solo album, but aside from that, um...
*polite smile*

Hint: her first album wasn't in the 80's. It was 1970.

Also, everyone should know that Warm Ways rules.

Fuck you, why isn't Over and Over on that?

I don't know! I don't have an answer for that except maybe I figured I'd just pull out Tusk instead. I was also angry at myself in the end because apparently I left off Never Forget and put Honey Hi in its place by total mistake...grrr...

But there IS only so much room on a disc.

Okay alright, I love Honey Hi though. The middle guitar bit is cool.

oh iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, i wanna be with you everywhere

"Isn't it midnight on the other side of the world?"

funny timing for this thread revival. i downloaded The Legendary Christine Perfect Album a week ago.

oh shit, just found out that she was romantically involved w/Dennis Wilson (swoon) during the Rumors/Tusk period and probably had a major influence over her songs from that period

this is amazing:

I LOVE STEVIE NICKS' HAT!!!!

But everyone knows I love Christine more, don't get me wrong.

Hanle y, come home please :-(

How is her last name pronounced? Is it: Mc - Vee or Mc - Vi?

vee

Ah. That's not how I had been pronouncing it. Thanks. : )

I don't hold you down
And maybe that's why I'm around...

I heard "Got A Hold On Me" at the market yesterday!

I thought it was "maybe that's why you're around". But yeah OTM and all that.

loving the solo album recently

I thought it was "maybe that's why you're around". But yeah OTM and all that.

that's the last chorus

legendary perfect album is just super

It's all about this album, people. I've been telling this since 2004 on this board but back then no one said they agreed or would listen to me:

Bob Welch w/Christine & Mick in '81

Brown Eyes is the best FMac song

I recoil from that breathy tone Welch uses.

Yeah, Soto otm re: Mick's gifts. And John, he's pretty great, too, of course; iirc Mike Mills had a "what would John McVie do?" maxim. I think in their case as a rhythm section, it could be the result of all those formative years woodshedding, which helps them swing and shuffle through stuff like "Over My Head."

I missed this good bit from the L.A. Times obit:

Her grounding presence was a welcome contrast to Nicks’ nymph-like persona, not because it positioned the two against each other, but because it offered two very powerful frameworks for womanhood and female friendship within the same chart-topping band. The idea that women must choose — that one is either a Christine or a Stevie — is an outmoded and reductive binary in the year 2022. Instead, the fruitful pairing of McVie and Nicks, how their writing and personalities elegantly commingle and reflect back on one another, offers an antidote to the notion that women can be only one thing.

Nice

And yet, they sure didn’t seem to work together much the last 25 years.

And where were all these Nicks/McVie partisans when Behind the Mask came out?

Blasting "Save Me."

Or, like Rolling Stone, saying "the addition of Rick Vito and Billy Burnette is the best thing to ever happen to Fleetwood Mac".

This is my favorite song from the 1988-1990 era. Nicks, McVie, and the ringers harmonize well, and the woozy synths complement them.

I feel like I said this somewhere else but man, “Prove Your Love” is a terrific song. The wordless refrain with the sawing violins is just magic. Anyone who thinks she needed Lindsey never heard this.
