This is a pretty easy one for me. I voted for Why. This is my second favorite Christine McVie song ever. I love everything about the song-never get tired of hearing it. My favorite Peter Green songs are Need Your Love So Bad and Green Manalishi. My favorite Bob Welch songs are Sentimental Lady and Hypnotized.

I voted for Hypnotized because Bob Welch is so underrated. A lot of people don't like his voice, but he was one of Mac's best songwriters. IMO, Mystery to Me ranks just below Tusk and Rumours as one of FM's best albums. The entire album has an ethereal, trippy feel. Sorta like Pink Floyd but more pop oriented.
As for my favorite Peter Green song, I'd have to go with Albatross. ***myndpeace*** |

My pick was...
It's a tie between Hypnotized and Why, two of the greatest songs, but I chose Hypnotized. I love Mystery to Me, great album!

Wow, that's a tough one!! I love Why, Hypnotized, Sentimental Lady AND Oh Well........but, since I absolutely had to choose, I HAD to go with Why!!!!! I love this Christine song......."my heart will rise up with the morning sun.....and the hurt I feel will simply melt away...." .......what a terrific bluesy, alto voice!!!!!!! Her singing this song, and those words....I just get chills!!

I had to vote for Why too... like Stephanie, it absolutely gives me chills every time I listen to it. That twangy slide guitar intro just totally sets the mood... it just is like taking you into the song... away from your surroundings. And those lyrics are heartbreaking! I think my fav part of the song is the ending though... that guitar work really gets to me . This is my personal fav Chris song (amongst the likes of Prove Your Love, and Over and Over). MTM was just an incredible album though! Every song was worth its weight in gold and then some! My second fav Mac album (behind Tusk). Of course the only pre '75 albums I have are Kiln House, Bare Trees, Mystery To Me, and Heroes are Hard to Find, so as I collect more, my vote may change! -Louie

Oh Well
Oh Well is my favorite SONG, no matter who covers it (except Kenny Wayne Shepard...his version sucks the big one)
After Oh Well, these stand out, for me, among the pre-1975 material (no particular order) I Loved Another Woman Love That Burns Albatross Black Magic Woman Need Your Love So Bad Watch Out Like It This Way World In A Tangle One Sunny Day Sunny Side Of Heaven Green Manalishi Rattlesnake Shake Before The Beginning Show Biz Blues Like Crying Without You World In Harmony My Dream Underway Man Of The World The World Keeps On Turning Shake Your Money Maker Dragonfly Purple Dancer This Is The Rock Station Man Tell Me All The Things You Do Morning Rain Woman Of A 1000 Years Future Games Sentimental Lady Child Of Mine Dust Remember Me Dissatisfied Revelation Caught In The Rain Emerald Eyes Believe Me Hypnotized Forever Keep On Going Miles Away For Your Love Why Heroes Are Hard To Find Angel Bermuda Triangle Come A Little Bit Closer Born Enchanter |

Quote:
In terms of other pre-1975 albums, they're all worth a listen, but if you can't get a hold of all of them (as most of them are damn near impossible to find on CD here in the US), nobody's Mac collection should be without MTM, Bare Trees, Kiln House, Then Play On, and English Rose. I hate to say this, but many of the unofficial live albums featuring the original lineup are not worth the money. Not that there's anything wrong with the music, but on most of them the sound quality is far less than you'd expect. ***myndpeace*** |

Bob Welch!
Yep! Bob Welch is the coolest! I just love his songwriting, and musical style. Very ethereal, he kind of takes you to a different world... like another certain FM songwriter that I am fond of . I think MTM was his creative pinnacle with the Mac... his material was just incredible from it! He seemed to bring out the best in Chris too, IMO. But yeah, Bob is one of my all time favs . -Louie

I voted Oh Well
I just love Why, Christine is on her best, but I don't love the end of the song.
That's why I voted for Oh Well, but what I mean is: Oh Well part One and Two, in combination. It's absolutely beautiful! Anna

To myndpeace
I don't know what CD shops you frequent, but every store I've been in (not counting Target, K-Mart or Wal-Mart), they've had the full complement of Fleetwood Mac discs starting with "Then Play On" (the first three...Dog & Dustbin, Mr. Wonderful, & Pious Bird are tough to find, I will admit...but that's what "The Complete Blue Horizon Sessions" box is for).
The Boston Box is THE difinitive documentation of the Peter Green era live. Great sound quality, AMAZING performances. |

Oh Well!
I voted for Oh Well...I would say that, in my opinion, this song is perfect...the timing, the lyrics, the tune, the guitars, the bass, drums...everything!!!
And most importantly, it simply kicks ass! My favourite version is Live at The Boston Tea Party. |

It's got to be The Green Manalishi for me. The lyrics say it all about Peter and his frame of mind at the time, very powerful stuff, plus the feel given by the guitar work and the sporadic cries.
Having said that, Oh Well is an amazing piece of work too. I still get goosebumps when the intro kicks in. |
