Poll for definitive FM songs from 1970-1974
I noticed that there are best of collections for both the Peter Green era and the Buckingham Nicks era, but none for the eras between Kiln House and Heroes. What so you think of the idea of selecting 18-20 songs from Kiln House, Future Games, Bare Trees, Penguin, Mystery to Me, and Heroes are Hard to Find albums, plus any B-sides and non album releases via a series of polls and create our own "best of" of sorts?

Bob Welch and Peter Green Eras
In response to the last post, I have always wanted that and most of all Bob wanted it. See what you can do to make it happen. Fleetwood Mac Won't work with me because I have worked so hard to get Bob inducted to the RRHOF so they have deleted him comlpletely from those years. I personally think it is cruel and vindictive, but you can think what you want. I just don't get it. They don't have to like me, but they should all care about Bob Welch and the true "CHAIN" and the true history of FM without deleting so many years that got them where they are today. <3

My main goal with these polls is to determine what songs define this era, and allows people to fill the missing gap.

Songs I think are definitive of this era:
(Edit) When I made my list, I thought the dates were from 1971-1974. From Kiln House, I'd include Jewel Eyed Judy Tell Me All the Things You Do Future Games Sands Of Time Show Me a Smile The Ghost Sentimental Lady Spare Me a Little of Your Love Dust Remember Me Revelation Did You Ever Love Me Emerald Eyes Just Crazy Love Hypnotized The Way I Feel Why Angel Bermuda Triangle Come A Little Bit Closer Silver Heels Prove Your Love

^ That's quite a good list you've got there. Got most of it in my own personal list myself. Others may think differently, though. Which is why I'm suggesting polls like we did in the Christine board.

Where on earth did you get this awesome idea from?
Sounds great! I hope lots from Bare Trees and Mystery to Me qualify. |

A "definitive" collection with songs from these years is a very good idea, but there's some songs from Kiln House and Future Games that I don't know well!!

Spare me a little 11. Remember Me 12. Bright Fire 13. Caught in the Rain 14. Hypnotized 15. Forever 16. Heroes are hard to find 17. Coming Home 18. Angel 19. Come A Little Bit Closer 20. Safe Harbour |

But, the more I think about it...it's really tough to leave anything out. (well, except for Mrs Scarrott's poem and "(I'm A) Roadrunner" )
From Kiln House to Heroes Are Hard To Find there's really not (other than the two mentioned above) a track that I think is NOT "definitive".

I really wasn't planning to enter into this discussion, but I had two comments...
First of all, I like your list a lot, chiliD - and I like the way you've organized and sequenced the tracks. Second, two additions that I'd toss in - a couple of relative rarities that I think are worthy of inclusion, "The Purple Dancer" and "Trinity". |

And from the looks of it, I don't think 20 songs are enough (my list is a 2CD one myself). I should expand this to a double disc.

I've wanted this for ages, too. It's ridiculous how such a long period of FM history has become so difficult to access in all ways. No iTunes, no Spotify, rarely a place at my local store. And frankly, many the Welch-era albums are filled with lows as well as highs, so grouping all the highs together would be a great way to get more listeners into things.
I think hypothetically there should be a one-disc edition as well as a two-disc, for accessibility. The casual listener would probably find the former less intimidating and be more likely to pick it up and sink his/her teeth into it. Or maybe 2 discs separately? Perhaps both a "basics" and a "deeper cuts" disc, so you could get one or both? |
