Fleetwood Mac’s 30 Greatest Songs per The Guardian

"Why" overlooked again. Only Over You (srsly?) and The Legde (#11!) are interesting inclusions. Good on him for putting together a listicle with some flavor (sorry, flavour). |
This list is much better than that Rolling Stone top 50 a few weeks ago. I like that Only Over You gets some love. It used to be one of my least favorite Mac songs in the early to mid 80s. Its now one of my favorites.
Still missing some better songs and no way the ledge should almost top 10. At least this list has early Chris songs but not nearly enough. |

Stevie still gets half the Top 10! Go Steves!
I always liked Keep On Going, too. |
A far more interesting list than RS’s. It has its problems: the complete absence of a Danny Kirwan song, for instance. Station Man, Woman of a Thousand Years, Tell Me, Dust—something (if not “Sometimes”).
But including Keep On Going is awesome. It’s one of my favorite songs of that era. Dark, sexy, mysterious, and about five years ahead of its time. Dreams still at #1?—and if you’re going to include Silver Springs, why not make it the 1997 version. |
They forgot Why, Hold Me, and That’s Alright.
It’s nice to see Only Over You finally getting some recognition. It’s a beautiful, underrated and under appreciated song. It’s one of my favorites from Christine. Listen to it again, it’s actually really good. |

But besides Only Over You I like that Come A Little Bit Closer finally got mentioned on a list. |

It’s a fine pop song, featuring the band at its cleverest. But there’s no surprise why it doesn’t make The Guardian’s top 30. |

Behind the Mask was a #1 album in the UK so where is the love on this UK list if that was the standard? I think everyone who make these lists agree that pop success should not be the factor for ranking songs. If I never heard any song from Mirage before and played the album for the first time, Hold Me would stand out as a great tune. But then again, all of this is subjective and none of us could ever agree on anything. Dreams is a great song but it does get annoying because of its #1 status it always gets the top spot on these lists. I think Why would top my list. |
