What happened to the Songs from your Era thread?

Interesting fact , Tusk was Fleetwood Macs only top 10 hit in Australia , until Dreams was re released in 2020.

Oh I thought we all had better taste than that in this country! Everyone I know loves them..

Tusk is my favourite of theirs apart from the entire Mirage album which is my desert island album.

Buffalo Soldier - Bob Marley and the Wailers again.
I do like a bit of Bob Marley!

I had that in my head too MR but I thought someone else would post it before me anyway. I love it as well and Bob...

I reckon Jimmy Cliff's version is by far the best version of the song.

I listened to it before going to sleep and also the Robert Palmer one..I always think of reggae as 'get up and dance' music but I did find it soothing to listen to these songs last night.

I didn't really consider Morcheeba as reggae so seeing them in this thread makes me happy. This has been a big favourite of mine for many years, so I'll post it as it's just gorgeous. This is Rome Wasn't Built In A Day.

I did not know that. That’s amazing given how many great songs they have.

I can't think of any Fleetwood Mac song I dislike..

You're kidding!
I always thought the chain was a top ten hit?

Morcheeba did a reggae song in Friction which is really good but is not a recognised as a reggae artist it is a shame she didn’t concentrate on reggae a bit more. But then again what she has done has always been good spreading her music across different genres.

Seeing Fleetwood Mac is being mentioned This must be posted. I just played it here and about half way through was asked. Who is this ? I ask, Why you asking ? response is because it is brilliant why have you never played this before ? This is Albatross and yes it is brilliant

Yes it is amazing with the amount of songs they had, some of them are classics. Tusk charted at 3 . Dreams came back into charts in 2020 because of the Tic Toc guy with the cranberry juice, it landed back at number 4.

Another of their songs that just missed the top10, it charted at 11 here in Australia, absolute classic.

For those who like the get up and dance style of reggae This should be to their liking.

Yes, especially during that period where they had the ‘big 5’ members.

The Chain is a classic. Also Go Your Own Way. At least Dreams made the Top Ten. But only two years ago!!? That’s crazy.

[mightyrooster]

I need to think of some more reggae.
