Favorite Fleetwood Mac song

[hatredisnotavalue]

I've got tickets to the FM concert in Boston next month and I can't wait! Any fans here? And what's your favorite song?

edit: sorry got so excited I misspelled the band's name!

[redqueen]

1. I can't decide

:crazy:

[malta blue]

2. Can't pick one!

I am really digging the Original Fleetwood Mac album alot these days...

[CreekDog]

3. Dreams

Rhiannon is a close 2nd.

I think that was the best sound the ever came up with.

[Sky Masterson]

4. Landslide

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhNrrrCCTdA
Stevie Nicks - Landslide

[applegrove]

66. I love that song. Also dreams. Though I don't pay attention to the words

of most songs..I just really like Stevie Nicks.

[old mark]

5. OLD Fleetwood Mac Song is "Oh, Well", from the vinyl album

"Then Play On", with Peter Green before Buckingham and Nix:

Don't ask me bout the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin.
Don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to...

[bbernardini]

16. Joe Jackson did a fine version of this tune.

On one of the greatest albums of all time, "Laughter and Lust".

[bluesbassman]

20. As far as covers go I'm partial to The Rockets' version.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCJ4gHOdixU

Still Mac's the best though.

[redqueen]

23. Yeah, that was my first answer.

But then I thought of Landslide, and a few other songs. In the end, I can't pick just one.

[Kat45]

61. Love that one, as well as "Green Manalishi" and

"Rattlesnake Shake," "Albatross." I loved the band when it was Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac playing a lot of blues. From a later period, also loved "Hypnotized," "Future Games," "Bare Trees," "Sentimental Lady."

My boyfriend and I listened to lots of old Mac in college and we got really excited when they came to town. Boy, were we disappointed to not hear any of our old favorites. What we saw was the band with its new members, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, a version we had not heard yet. They were the opening band for Jefferson Starship. I did end up liking songs from this version of the band, but the older versions are still my favorites.

[bif]

65. I couldn't stand them after Nicks & Buckingham joined the group

They were great when they were a blues band.

[Common Sense Party]

6. The Chain.

[CBGLuthier]

7. One I can guarantee they will not do

Oh Well. In particular the extended instrumental portion at the end.

[MorningGlow]

8. "Songbird"

Also "Landslide", "I Don't Want to Know", "Second Hand News".

Is that too Rumours-heavy? :shrug:

[acmavm]

9. Why, Silver Spring, Hypnotized.

[MorningGlow]

24. Oh! I forgot Silver Spring

Must add that to my list!

[Pool Hall Ace]

10. Hypnotized, Second Hand News

I'm a fan! :hi:

Once I saw FM when there were NO ORIGINAL MEMEBRS in the band. At Winterland round 75. Seems the manager owned the name and the band was in dissaray, so they sent a totally bogus band to tour. Nobody noticed for the whole tour until they got to Winterland. We knew them. never finished theri third song.

A couple of years before that they played a concert in Stockton (Billy Herbert Field) and the cops pulled the plug on the band and tear gassesd everyone.
I really wihs Christine was in this incarnation of the band, i like her songs way more than Stevies.

[hatredisnotavalue]

17. wow

way cool story :)I bet you were there for the GD with all of their original members :)

[Chemical Bill]

21. What about Jewel Eyed Judy?

Good list otherwise.

Bill

[stuntcat]

35. I love Christine

Show Me A Smile & Spare Me A Little :loveya:

I'm gonna look at your list again tomorrow and make sure I have all of them!

[LostinVA]

12. The Chain & Go Your Own Way

[KamaAina]

13. Rhiannon

because a sleek little gray tabby I knew in New Orleans bore the name.

How we met: I met her human at a pro-choice rally and learned we were neighbors. Down the street I went:

KA: (seeing Rhiannon) "Oh, look!"

someone else: "Oh, she doesn't like people."

Two minutes later:

Rhiannon (sitting in KA's lap): "Purrrrrrrrrrrr...." :loveya:

[hatredisnotavalue]

14. Not to date myself

Okay, I'm dating myself, I first got turned on to their sound with a buckingham/nicks album bought in 1976 or 1977. I just love the diversity of their songs. I love Silver Springs, Tusk and the Chain. All equally at No. 1. IMHO their lyrics are the best in the business!

[bbernardini]

15. The one where Stevie Nicks sings like a goat being strangled to death.

Oh, wait...

I generally prefer Christie McVie's Fleetwood Mac tunes. And "Go Your Own Way."

[carlyhippy]

18. hmm, that's a hard one to decide

Tusk
second hand news
songbird
Think about me
go your own way

[TZ]

19. Tusk

It's so unique

[Jamastiene]

22. Don't Stop. n/t

[SalmonChantedEvening]

25. Second Hand News

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8eY9SRJzL8&feature=related

Oh won't ya just let me...

;)

[nomorenomore08]

27. You're the second to mention that one! And I'm the third.

Seriously, I'm not even a huge fan of theirs or anything, but something about that tune just screams awesome. And to think it was only an outtake/B-side.

[lightningandsnow]

28. Fourth!

Something about it is just so catchy and awesome.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

57. Fifth!

what is it about that song?

[stuntcat]

34. I love that one!

:headbang: :hug: :hug:

[ConcernedCanuk]

26. ANYTHING where Stevie Nicks was the main vocalist

.
.
.

her voice just used to send tremors through me

I can hear words in my head right now, but couldn't name the title of a song to save my life . .

but man

that girl's voice used to rip through me . .

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[OmahaBlueDog]

29. Tie: Landslide (the original album cut) and Hypnotized (Bob Welch on vocals)

"Little Lies" and "Make Loving Fun" score pretty high. There's one other one with a kickass baseline that Buckingham sings that I can't remember the title -- Don't Aske Me What I Think of You (maybe???)

Truthfully, not a huge fan.

[Sebastian Doyle]

58. Oh Well?

Buckingham sang it on their live album, but it's an old song from the original Fleetwood Mac lineup written by Peter Green.

The original version inspired Jimmy Page to write "Black Dog", incidentally.

[Deja Q]

30. Hold Me

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zw4TU_HeERY

[sniffa]

31. I guess the only one I know: Landslide

But I like the cover versions better.

[nomorenomore08]

37. Not the Dixie Chicks one! Please don't say that!

:puke:

[sniffa]

38. I totally forgot they did it too

I like the Pumpkins's version, and some other version I can't recall.

[begin_within]

32. 'Bare Trees' and 'Gold Dust Woman'

[stuntcat]

33. I love too many of them!

I've seen them 6 times but this time around we have to skip it, we don't go to many concerts at the big stadiums lately :(

Sentimental Lady is my favorite sometimes. And sometimes Sara. And Storms.. and Brown Eyes.. and Never Going Back Again and Over My Head, and Beautiful Child. And of course Oh Well and I'm So Afraid!! :loveya:

I wish I was going this time, now I'm jealous of you!

[Left Is Write]

36. Never Going Back Again, Secondhand News, Tusk. Can't pick only one.

[hatredisnotavalue]

39. Listening to www.pandora.com

It's my mom's too. When I was a baby my parents would play Fleetwood Mac and dance me around to get me to go to sleep. :D

[rurallib]

[bluethruandthru]

46. Big Love and The Chain n/t
