And Sarah is #1, as it should be.

I was embarrassed after casting my vote for not voting that.

Still, Over & Over is the be all end all, isn't? What the hell is wrong with these Buckingham freaks who ruin this poll until "Storms" makes an appearance.

But you NEVER TOLD ME
BOUT THE FIRE

IN THE CITY OF LOVE

WHERE EVERYONE WOULD LOVE TO DROWN
NOW IT's GONE

"What Makes You Think You're The One" and "Never Forget" should be higher.

Tim F, Sunday, 10 June 2007 23:41 (sixteen years ago) link

"I Know I'm Not Wrong" is my 10th or 11th favorite song on the album.

Bless you, Alfred.

Bimble, Sunday, 10 June 2007 23:52 (sixteen years ago) link

"thats enough for me" is a great song, he should got much higher than 0 votes - those fast country guitars...

plus - "not that funny" and "what makes you think:" should be much higher too.
there are some songs there that i tend to skip all the time, and i really don't know them that well (angel,honey i , never gorget)

I'm surprised by the "Sara" fandom. I created a thread a couple of years ago and got good-to-meh responses.

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Monday, 11 June 2007 00:00 (sixteen years ago) link

It's "sea of love," Bimble, not city.

Rock Hardy, Monday, 11 June 2007 00:46 (sixteen years ago) link

I'm only surprised by how high "Tusk" ended up - if there's a skippable song on the album, that's the one

THREE? THREE?!

Sundar, Monday, 11 June 2007 01:23 (sixteen years ago) link

I don't think I'm enough of an adult - or a contemporary, for that matter - to understand what people find so special about Sara.

kingkongvsgodzilla, Monday, 11 June 2007 01:42 (sixteen years ago) link

It's got nothing to do with being adult or contemporary -- it's spectral, subversive, obscure.

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Monday, 11 June 2007 01:49 (sixteen years ago) link

See, I can't hear the subversion. And I admit this opinion is probably entirely a failing on my behalf, seeing as the consensus seems to favor it overwhelming, but I prefer every Nicks song on the album to Sara.

I think that one of my main complaints is that, for whatever reason, the piano riff sounds to me like the theme song for some sitcom that I can't quite put my finger on.

I'll have to put this one on repeat.

kingkongvsgodzilla, Monday, 11 June 2007 03:03 (sixteen years ago) link

I can't believe I was the only vote for "Honey Hi."

ian, Monday, 11 June 2007 03:27 (sixteen years ago) link

Likewise with "Over and Over."

kingkongvsgodzilla, Monday, 11 June 2007 03:36 (sixteen years ago) link

ONE vote for Over & Over??? Say it isn't so! That is WRONG

Bimble, Monday, 11 June 2007 03:38 (sixteen years ago) link

Christine didn't get a fair shake in general, in my opinion.

kingkongvsgodzilla, Monday, 11 June 2007 03:39 (sixteen years ago) link

Yeah, when I show up at your houses with my Christine picket signs, you won't be happy.

Bimble, Monday, 11 June 2007 03:40 (sixteen years ago) link

This may help, king kong.

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Monday, 11 June 2007 11:59 (sixteen years ago) link

Please don't picket me, I voted for "Brown Eyes."

The Deacon, Monday, 11 June 2007 13:55 (sixteen years ago) link

t/s: brown eyes v. emerald eyes

elmo argonaut, Monday, 11 June 2007 14:04 (sixteen years ago) link

"Tusk"!!! WTF.

Steve Shasta, Monday, 11 June 2007 19:38 (sixteen years ago) link

I'm surprised so many people are taken aback by how well "Tusk" did. I have pretty close to zero tolerance for any Fleetwood Mac outside of "Tusk" which I've loved since I was a kid.

EZ Snappin, Monday, 11 June 2007 22:58 (sixteen years ago) link

"Tusk" is a special song, and I think it holds up well today.

Bimble, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 01:31 (sixteen years ago) link

"Walk a Thin Line" (Buckingham) – 3:48 4

^wtf

sleep, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 15:38 (sixteen years ago) link

only 4??

I can't understand love for Christine McVie's songs, shit is boring.

Trip Maker, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 15:55 (sixteen years ago) link

Christine McVie is like the endpoint minimal techno of Fleetwood Mac: you come around to her after you're exhausted/burnt out on everything else and she suddenly sounds like the best thing ever.

Tim F, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 15:59 (sixteen years ago) link

OTM. I won't deny that she's a snooze on her own, but the word "context" was meant for her.

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 16:01 (sixteen years ago) link

Are any McVie solo albums worth picking up? i assume from that post the answer is no.

Tim F, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 16:02 (sixteen years ago) link

Download "Got A Hold On Me." That's all you need.

Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 16:07 (sixteen years ago) link

"never make me cry" is one of my favorite songs on this record

"sara" would've gotten my vote ultimately

impudent harlot, Tuesday, 12 June 2007 16:22 (sixteen years ago) link

one month passes...

I'm sorry, I've really looked through a lot of threads on Fleetwood Mac and I can't find the bit where someone turned me on to the 1980 live stuff. The version of "Dreams" on that is to die for.

Bimble, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:31 (sixteen years ago) link

Oh my GOD if the live 1980 version of "Rhiannon" doesn't curl your toes...nothing will.

Bimble, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:35 (sixteen years ago) link

That enthusiasm!

I know, right?, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:37 (sixteen years ago) link

Tusk is Lindsay's show as far as I'm concerned.

I know, right?, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:38 (sixteen years ago) link

I know there are folks who feel that way, but ignore Christine???? Christ we could fight all night about this. I choose peace.

Bimble, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:41 (sixteen years ago) link

Big Lindsay show on "Oh well" on this 1980 live thing. Yay-uh. Fabulous stuff.

Bimble, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:44 (sixteen years ago) link

I'm only half there on the McVie entries. I mean, Over and Over is obviously fantastic, and so is Honey Hi and Brown Eyes, but she almost cancels it out with Think About Me, am I the only one squarely annoyed by this song? A lot of it may have to do with the production on it, I don't think Buckingham really got this one. At all.

I know, right?, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:44 (sixteen years ago) link

Okay, I really want to hear this by the way.

I know, right?, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:45 (sixteen years ago) link

has this thread always been called Best song on "Tusk" - Fleetwood Nac

I know, right?, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:50 (sixteen years ago) link

Fleetwood Nac, there you go. Brillaint.

Bimble, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:52 (sixteen years ago) link

Look, this live 1980 thing as almost as good as heroin, I imagine. Don't deprive yourself.

Bimble, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:54 (sixteen years ago) link

That's very good, but you're not telling me anything else about it!

I know, right?, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:54 (sixteen years ago) link

And I care, I really do!

I know, right?, Sunday, 15 July 2007 15:55 (sixteen years ago) link

YOU CAN GO YOUR OWN WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU CAN CALL IT ANOTHER LONELY DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111

Bimble, Sunday, 15 July 2007 16:01 (sixteen years ago) link

Dude, there's only like 4 other bands as good as Fleetwood Mac in the whole world. Serious.

Bimble, Sunday, 15 July 2007 16:02 (sixteen years ago) link

I KNOW FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEEEEEEEEEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!

I know, right?, Sunday, 15 July 2007 16:03 (sixteen years ago) link

DROWNDED IN THE CITY OF LOVE

Call me home. Listen to the freakin' reggae guitar on the live version!!! It's a freakin' orgasm is what it is.
