Conversely, I say "When You Like."
When I like, you say.

Say, you, like, when? ...again?

I don't think When You Say is that bad. It's not Danny Kirwin's best, but it's OK. In my opinion, When I See You Again and The Second Time are right up there among the worst Fleetwood Mac songs.

1) The Second Time (Behind The Mask)
2) When You Say (Then Play On CD)
3) Welcome To The Room...Sara (Tango In The Night)
4) Roadrunner (Penguin)
5) When I See You Again (Tango In The Night)

(Even Mrs. Scarrot's poem doesn't suck bad enough to make the bottom five)

Don't forget "Only Over You" which is the only Fleetwood Mac song known to create motion sickness in listeners...

So you all think "Family Man" is a good song??? It comes real close to a total stinker to me, and it's the worst FM song I've ever heard... kind of tied with "Roadrunner", though.

I like Family Man. I hated it the first time I heard it and would always laugh when that voice says(after Lindsey say a family man)'a family man.'

Count me "in" on Family Man, too...I don't think it's a well crafted song, but the guitar work on it is just brilliant; which, being a guitar player myself, takes precidence.

I love what I call the "bass B-3" sound on "Empire State", VERY Brian Wilson-ish. Ya know, Mick, in his book, says that "Empire State" was kind of a "make-up" song for the bad vibes of Welch's "The City"...I'm not so sure I agree with that. I think that there's such a "competition" (subconciously ingraned in people) between NY & LA...Lindsey had just released a song called "That's How We Do It In L.A." on Law & Order...and to not alienate his NY fans, wrote "Empire State" for his subsequent album (which ended up being a Fleetwood Mac album instead).

What?? Do you remember me saying "One More Night" was a stinker at some point?? I CERTAINLY don' think so (NOWadays, anyway!)

*lol* No, you never said it was (that I know of)... *I* was saying it was!

It's not horrible really, just... boring.
IMHO.

As far as my least favorite Mac songs... those pretty much all belong to Jeremy Spencer.
As hard as I've tried, I've just never gained much appreciation for him.
Don't get me wrong, there are a few songs that Jeremy sang and played lead on, that i *do* really like... but there's only a handful of them.

I've pretty much always felt though, that even the lamest Mac tune is still better than many artists' best work.
Which is why I really don't tend to bash any of Fleetwood Mac's songs.

Black Label Society makes me more motion-sick than a Christine McVie song ever could.

"Only Over You" features some of the most beautiful passages in all music -- I refer to the chord progression underlying the "Angel please don't go/I miss you when you're gone" lyric.

"Family Man" may just be the most brilliant piece of pop music ever conceived by a North American. But of course you with your Chilean ears may not hear quite what I'm hearing with my Californian ears. That's the drawback of geographical distance.

Cristian · #15 10-05-2002, 11:42 PM

Of course, my third world ears could really be causing me confusions... However there is no absolute "good" or "bad" at anything, so we're allowed to disagree peacefully.
