Am I the only one who would include Forever?
I love that Afro-rock feel that pre-dates all those '80s "let's got to Africa and make an album" albums like Paul Simon and that other bloke, big tall English guy, what's-his-name? (David Essex did one too, not that anyone noticed). |
Not a big fan of Forever, namely because of the drum machine.

I would include "Homeward Bound" on a Welch-era compilation. (I'd include it on a compilation of all of Fleetwood Mac, for that matter.) I absolutely love the piano on that song and how it is really a lead instrument, along with the guitar. I wish there were more like that, with Chris playing her keyboards as a lead instrument. I also think the song itself is superb. It has such emotional honesty and clarity, just as much as, or even more than, some of her better-known love songs.
Of course, the Welch era being my favorite era of the band, I would find it hard to get rid of most of the songs. The only songs I could drop easily are the two Dave Walker songs, which I skip anyway when I listen to the 'Penguin' album. |

PS. I appreciate all three eras, as opposed to one or another, so I triple my pleasure and triple my fun. :thumbsup: |
Hello SteveMacD-- I believe I'm in agreement with you. Although I enjoy Christine's Welch-era music, her songwriting and singing both improved after Linds & Stevie joined the band. Still can't figure out if it's the songs themselves, or the arrangement and production values. But, you can certainly hear the difference, beginning with"Warm Ways" on the White Album. Don't get me wrong, there are some wonderful Christine songs pre-Rumours, but the majority of her best work is clearly during the Buckingham-Nicks time. Just my humble opinion, of course.:wavey: Best always, Madelow.

There's also a live show from just a bit earlier than Seattle...from Germany, I seem to recall. And, Bob himself on his website has a MTM era live "Black Magic Woman" Quote:

I would sell my soul to the woman of a 1000 years AND the black magic woman to hear that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Speaking of, where are these Live recordings during the Welch era? Were they released on vinyl?? Quote:

That having been said, I think it would only make sense that it would sound better. Not even taking into account that they had two singers who had a jones for vocal harmony and found ways to have their voices interact with Christine's, they spent a much greater time producing the albums with that band. They recorded Bare Trees in a week, but spent three months recording white Fleetwood Mac album. Every album since has take a minimum of a year to record. |
