FLEETWOOD MAC JOHN MCVIE PLUS
Nicks is a little trickier since she was the most productive during these years, but I've opted to choose one track from The Wild Heart (the "Dreams"-esque "Sable on Blond", featuring Mick Fleetwood on drums) plus two tracks recorded during those sessions but written during the Buckingham Nicks era ("Garbo" and "Sorcerer"). And so that is what I've done here (as have others on the Fleetwood Mac subreddit), choosing tracks that either feature other Fleetwood Mac members or otherwise sound more like Fleetwood Mac and less like solo material.Ĭhoosing (Christine) McVie's contributions is fairly simple, as Buckingham prominently features on vocals or guitar for three tracks off her self-titled 1984 album ("The Challenge", "Who's Dreaming This Dream" and "The Smile I Live For"), and so those are included as the side openers and album closer. With such a vast wealth of material recorded in this three year stretch, it's very easy to construct a hypothetical Fleetwood Mac album that would fit in between Mirage and Tango in the Night, especially given that several members guested on the other's records.
Stevie Nicks continued her successful solo career with 1983's The Wild Heart and 1985's Rock a Little (plus their accompanying hit singles), Lindsey Buckingham released his second album Go Insane and contributed the minor hit but enduring classic "Holiday Road" to National Lampoon's Vacation, Christine McVie released her first solo album since officially joining Fleetwood Mac, and Mick Fleetwood formed Mick Fleetwood's Zoo who released I'm Not Me. But despite this nearly three year break, the group was still busy as each member (barring John McVie) would release solo material during this period.
After the release of 1982's Mirage and its following tour the band took an extended hiatus, only reconvening during the second half of 1985 to begin sessions for what would be their next album Tango in the Night. It's Valentine's Day, so it's only appropriate to celebrate with a fan album by everyone's favourite dysfunctional relationship in rock, Fleetwood Mac. "The Smile I Live For" - 5:07 (released by Christine McVie)."Loving Cup" - 5:02 (released by Lindsey Buckingham)."Sable on Blond" - 4:13 (released by Stevie Nicks)."Time Bomb Town" - 2:44 (released by Lindsey Buckingham)."Who's Dreaming This Dream" - 3:35 (released by Christine McVie)."Garbo" - 3:31 (released by Stevie Nicks)."Slow Dancing" - 4:05 (released by Lindsey Buckingham)."Sorcerer" - 5:35 (released by Stevie Nicks)."I Want You Back" - 2:54 (released by Mick Fleetwood's Zoo)."The Challenge" - 4:40 (released by Christine McVie).
