Rate the Very Best of Fleetwood Mac!
Rate the Very Best of Fleetwood Mac (the condensed 2002 UK Edition)! These are the tracks: 01 Go Your Own Way 02 Don't Stop 03 Dreams 04 Little Lies 05 Everywhere 06 Albatross 07 You Make Loving Fun 08 Rhiannon 09 Black Magic Woman 10 Tusk 11 Say You Love Me 12 Man of the World 13 Seven Wonders 14 Family Man 15 Sara 16 Monday Morning 17 Gypsy 18 Over My Head 19 Landslide 20 The Chain 21 Big Love I'd love to do a topic like this for the longer version, because it contains some of my favorite songs, but I think 21 songs is enough, haha. |
My ratings:
01 Go Your Own Way - 4/5 Energizing, upbeat -- a great song for jogging! Better live, though. 02 Don't Stop - 3/5 Not really feeling this song. It's kinda forced happy (was that intentional?). 03 Dreams - 5/5 Beautiful, a classic song. Perfect in any version. Great lyrics. 04 Little Lies - 5/5 Perfect chorus, powerful without being noisy. Love Stevie's voice in the background. 05 Everywhere - 4/5 Sweet song, makes me feel happy. A more genuine version of Don't Stop. 06 Albatross - 3/5 ... Nice background tune I guess. 07 You Make Loving Fun - 3/5 Another great McVie track! But I don't "feel" it as much. 08 Rhiannon - 5/5 One of the best songs ever written, period. 09 Black Magic Woman - 4/5 Atmospheric and awesome, the first Fleetwood Mac song I ever heard. 10 Tusk - 3/5 Fun track, but I really don't understand why this is "one of the best" when they have masterpieces like Storms and Over & Over. 11 Say You Love Me - 3/5 I can't remember this song for the life of me, but it's fun when it's playing. 12 Man of the World - 2/5 Boring and slow, not my thing. 13 Seven Wonders - 5/5 Amazing, beautiful vocals, a true masterpiece. Make me cry, Stevie. T_T 14 Family Man - 2/5 Annoying song that is annoyingly catchy. 15 Sara - 4/5 Beautiful and relaxing with a lush instrumentation. 16 Monday Morning - 2/5 How is this on a "Very Best" album... Can we replace this with Songbird or Storms? 17 Gypsy - 5/5 Another masterpiece. The bit after the second chorus is so, so beautiful. 18 Over My Head - 3/5 Another fun song that I can't seem to remember. 19 Landslide - 5/5 I don't think I need to explain why this is a 5/5. 20 The Chain - 4/5 Great song. 21 Big Love - 3/5 OOOH AAHH OOOH AAHH! Hahaha. Sounds like a horror movie. |
Go Your Own Way- only 4/5? Hmmm, a bit harsh there.
The Chain- only 4/5? Hmmm, a bit harsh there. Man Of The World- only 2/5? Hmmm, very hard to please. |
7/10 Go Your Own Way
Just because I've heard it too many times 7/10 Don't Stop I love it in the whole Rumours album but not so much as a single 10/10 Dreams I'll never get tired to listen to it 8/10 Little Lies Magnificent 80s Christine 7/10 Everywhere Again magnificent 80s Christine but like Don't stop it works better in the album 7/10 Albatross Amazing instrumental but I can't really get fond of it 8/10 You Make Loving Fun The ultimate Christine love song 10/10 Rhiannon Iconic. Doesn't need any more explanation. 8/10 Black Magic Woman I prefer this over Santana's version, and I love Santana's version 8/10 Tusk Just pure innovation. 7/10 Say You Love Me Precursor of You Make Loving Fun 7/10 Man of the World I can't feel it mine. 8/10 Seven Wonders This song made me love the 80s era. 6/10 Family Man When hear it I can't get it out of my head but I don't like it. 9/10 Sara Amazing lyrics, beautiful atmospheric music, the studio version is better than the live one. 7/10 Monday Morning Precursor of Second Hand News 8/10 Gypsy Sweetly nostalgic. 7/10 Over My Head It's not among my favourites and I never listen to it but it's a great song. 10/10 Landslide Probably the song that I feel most touching on a personal level, it accompanied me during my growth. 10/10 The Chain Sometimes it's my favourite song ever. 9/10 Big Love The live version is an even bigger love. |

Whoa, whoa, wait a second. You gave Seven Wonders a 5/5 and you gave Don't Stop, You Make Loving Fun and Say You Love Me a 3/5. I'm not sure I can take you seriously anymore. Which brings me to the point I was originally going to make: why is Seven Wonders on that CD instead of Gold Dust Woman? And why is Hold Me not on that cd? |
01 Go Your Own Way A+
02 Don't Stop A 03 Dreams A 04 Little Lies A 05 Everywhere B+ 06 Albatross A 07 You Make Loving Fun A+ 08 Rhiannon A+ 09 Black Magic Woman A+ 10 Tusk A+ 11 Say You Love Me A+ 12 Man of the World A- 13 Seven Wonders B 14 Family Man C 15 Sara A 16 Monday Morning B+ 17 Gypsy A+ 18 Over My Head A 19 Landslide A 20 The Chain A+ 21 Big Love B+ (live version A+) |
10/10 Go Your Own Way
7.5/10 Don't Stop 8/10 Dreams 8/10 Little Lies 5/10 Everywhere 6/10 Albatross 8/10 You Make Loving Fun 10/10 Rhiannon 6/10 Black Magic Woman 9/10 Tusk 7/10 Say You Love Me 6/10 Man of the World 7/10 Seven Wonders 4/10 Family Man 9/10 Sara 8.5/10 Monday Morning 8/10 Gypsy 7.5/10 Over My Head 10/10 Landslide 10/10 The Chain 7.5/10 Big Love (9/10 for the live version) Additional thoughts-for the pre-BN songs, I find it odd that Oh Well isn't on here. I'd also expect Green Manalishi. Why on earth they'd go with Family Man over NGBA or SHN is beyond me. And yes, I would totally expect Hold Me to be on here. |

After all this years I have to say that Seven Wonders earned its place on a Fleetwood Mac Greatest Hits album. |
01 Go Your Own Way 10/10 one of the truly great rock songs of all time
02 Don't Stop 8/10 instantly recognizable gem. Too easily disregarded 03 Dreams 8/10 hypnotic simplicity 04 Little Lies 9/10 great example of 80's pop 05 Everywhere 9/10 one of the all time great love songs 06 Albatross 9/10 hypnotic. It was #1 in the UK for a reason 07 You Make Loving Fun 9/10 one of Christine's best 08 Rhiannon 9/10 a Fleetwood Mac signature tune 09 Black Magic Woman 10/10 now surely a blues standard 10 Tusk 8/10 one of the most quirky hit singles of all time 11 Say You Love Me 8/10 lovely 12 Man of the World 10/10 awesome. Melancholy but beautiful 13 Seven Wonders 8/10 atmospheric 14 Family Man 6/10 nice guitar interlude but curious inclusion 15 Sara 10/10 sheer brilliance. Subtly epic 16 Monday Morning 7/10 Very good but no argument if replaced with something else 17 Gypsy 9/10 so nice- accompanied by Fleetwood Mac's best video 18 Over My Head 7/10 nice 19 Landslide 9/10 iconic 20 The Chain 10/10 an all time classic. perfect 21 Big Love 8/10 Great 80's power-pop Cant argue with most of the track inclusions. I'd probably look to swap Family Man and Monday Morning with Oh Well and Sentimental Lady (Sentimental Lady is a really great significant song. Why is it almost hidden as a Fleetwood Mac song???) |

I don't buy Greatest Hits for a personal peeve but a artists usually include deep cuts, probably Lindsey likes this song for a personal reason and decided to put it on the very best of. |

I'd guess the UK version was relatively heavy on the TITN songs due to the albums success over here. Nevertheless I'm still a bit baffled by Family Man's inclusion. I suppose they wanted (or were required for legal/financial reasons) to even out the numbers of Christine/Stevie/Lindsey songs. aside from the obvious ones its quite difficult to pick out Lindsey songs. Perhaps I'm So Afraid should have been on there as a LB song. |
