Quote from: From the Bunker on August 08, 2024, 09:14:28 PMThink it's time to do a genre;

Punk
Ska
Mowtown
Trash Metal
New Wave
Blues

Madness?
The Clash
Stevie Wonder?
The Ramones?

Or maybe just go with Abba?

ABBA a good shout.

Fleetwood Mac though, that's the ones.

Well, somebody just pick  one and go with it,  or we'll be here all day  ;D ......

Nah, let's argue some more about who should be next. I'm enjoying this.

Fleetwood Mac:

1. The Chain. One of the greatest songs ever written. Absolutely timeless. Provides sufficient room for all the band to shine, but really this is Lindsey peak imperious Lindsey just showing off how good Lindsey is. And it's marvellous.

2. Silver Springs. Somehow, this one never made an album. An emotive, evocative mix of power ballad and country rock.

It gets tough from here. There's a dozen songs in the mix. Man of the World and Oh Well Part 2 from the Peter Green days. Dreams, Say you Love Me, Landslide and the wonderful Tusk from the main era.

3. Songbird. A hauntingly brilliant piece of music.

Great tune Jog. Twas on a film there recently but I'm buggered if I can mind it lol.

As an aside has anyone seen the Silver Springs video where Stevie sings the last part straight at Lindsey. Pure drama. Maybe old news to some I'd only recently come across it on the twitter. Class

Can't really say I like anything by Fleetwood  Mac , although the Cranberries did a decent version of 'Go your own way ' and I've heard better versions  of Songbird as well

I really can't abide 'Dreams' . Even the version by  The Corrs I can't listen to either and  I really liked their early stuff.

It's ok, when you don't like a Band you just ignore. You don't have to force the issue.
