@airnewzealand tagged me in an ask to share five of my favorite songs. I ended up mostly going with songs off my current most-listened-to playlist—JPOP/KPOP II—but I chose six, as I wanted to include the last as a nod to @airnewzealand being kind enough to include me. I’m supposed to tag ten people but y’all know I can’t pick just ten of my moots—please consider yourself tagged if you would like to do this. Then tag me so I can see your lists!

Neil Finn on Fleetwood Mac: “It Doesn’t Currently Exist”

Fleetwood Mac “doesn’t currently exist.”

So says Neil Finn, the Crowded House frontman who was “gobsmacked” when Mick Fleetwood asked him to join a retooled version of the Mac for its 2018-’19 tour, which also featured former Heartbreaker Mike Campbell but no Lindsey Buckingham.

“The naysayers said, ‘No Lindsey Buckingham, no Fleetwood Mac,’ but I brought personality and the ability to sing with Stevie (Nicks) and Christine (McVie),” Finn told MOJO magazine.

“I could never be capable of sounding like Lindsey, but I put a similar intensity into his songs.”

Though the group “doesn’t currently exist,” Finn said when it did, it was led by Fleetwood, who “carried the flag,” and Nicks, who “wants it the way Stevie wants it and that’s the way it’ll be.

“She couldn’t bear to be in a band with Lindsey any more, but she still wanted to do it exactly the way he would have,” Finn said.

“It was more difficult for Mike Campbell: she … put a lot of pressure on Mike to be more like Lindsey. Sometimes Mike’s solos would go on and Stevie would get exhausted playing tambourine. She’d be, ‘Fucking hell, Lindsey only did 12 bars.’”

Christine McVie died in 2022.
