Fleetwood Mac

#2

You might know this stunning and also many-sided band, Fleetwood Mac, named after drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie. And even if you don't know them, you surely came along some of their songs.
Best known for their pop rock music (70's - now), Fleetwood Mac started quiet differently: as a blues band, including Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer (both: guitar + vocals).
Songs like 'Oh well' and 'Albatross' represented the mood of that time.


As I am amazed by the early band's strong sounds, I prefer the more rocking tunes of the late Fleetwood Mac, including Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie (Perfect). Songs like 'Gypsy' and 'Little Lies' won't leave your head for a long time.

If you want to know more about the band history, click on the band's name above.
I'm really glad, that the band members work together again.
Right know they tour the USA and Europe in the near future, I hope.

Goodies:

early Fleetwood Mac's (Green's) cover version of  'Need your love so bad':
late Fleetwood Mac's (Buckingham) 'Big Love' - 2 versions - and 'Go Insane':
'The Chain':
'Rhiannon':

I have to add one specific comment: please cut th e crappy covers out - it can never possibly sound as good as good old Lindsey. I don't intend to be mean or anything, but ... really ... show me a good cover and I'll delete this comment :)

One Republic

So, lets start with a currently well known and fast climbing band - ONE REPUBLIC

These Colorado folks play a rock/pop mix with catchy tunes.
I listened to COUNTING STARS 


on the radio and could'nt help thinking -  my, I know this voice.
You see, I'm not a music pro, but I recognize stuff so far :)
Two clicks and some typing later, I found myself in a WTF-moment. 
You might remember APOLOGIZE (Timbaland ft. One Republic),


a high-pitched voice, singing about the sadder times in life. Usually, I don't much like those kind of songs, but Ryan Tedder got a feeling and strength in his voice, that could make every song great.
Like every band, One Republic also got some not-so-yay-Songs, which you can hear once in a while, but can't compete with others or even count as a ear worm:

Cut the high-pitched voice stuff and I'm in! I recall, I like the songs, but 'Counting Stars' is the best so far. Honest, strong,  catchy and not to forget - there the higher tunes fit (not too much, not too little) :)
So, find the best tune for yourself :)
