Unpopular Christine McVie Opinions

[GypsySorcerer]

Her Tusk material is underappreciated. I love each and every one for various reasons, with "Over & Over" being in my top 5 songs for her.

"Oh Daddy" and "Behind the Mask" are two of the best songs she's written.

I detest "Love in Store" and always skip it. I actually could take or leave most of her Mirage songs, except for "Hold Me."

I can't stand the song Songbird. Always thought that should have been axed for Silver Springs. The Eva Cassidy version is a billion times better than Christine's.

I think I Need You by the Beatles sounds like something Christine would write with Lindsey on guitar.

I get you. I can certainly hear her singing it. This was one of the first Beatles songs written by George (maybe the second or third???)

"Over Daddy"--the archetypal Chris song that never was (along with Lindsey's "Go This Street" and Stevie's "Room Angel").

Here's one--I can't stand Christine's photo shoots for the covers of The Dance and In The Meantime.

Why is that? I never considered them for very long but theyre not too bad. The smile comes off as plastered-on for ITM I suppose.

Neither of them look very much like her at all, IMO.

And on The Dance cover she looks uncomfortable, unduly angular, and sort of awkwardly squished into the frame. Granted, that was a weird cover in the first place.

I just feel that she has such a beautiful and iconic look when she's not made up to hell and back or put in awkward poses. (On Meantime her body isn't even facing the camera! What is this meant to be--a yoga DVD?)

I regret being stereotypical and talking about her appearance, but it's always bothered me.

I would have liked an FM album cover that made more use of Christine and Stevie's faces, because there's so few megabands to have two female members. Mirage is the closest I guess. They should have done so for Behind The Mask, not put some absolutely random woman on the cover! #branding_mishaps

The inside photo of Christine from ITM, the one with her facing us squarely on in front of a door— that photo should have been used for the cover. It’s a great pic and it looks like her.

The Dance is the worst album cover, period. They ll look ridiculous on it.

far, far better than her photos for the cover of BuckVie.
