Go Your Own Way Appreciation Thread
Okay, so they just played this song on the radio. I always blast this song from the speakers. I cannot listen to this song without dancing. I mean jumping up and down playing air guitar, imagining I'm at a concert. Picturing Lindsey singing this song to Stevie with such anger (for lack of a better word) back in the 70's. I think this song is one of, if not, the best Fleetwood Mac song ever. Just because everything it represents and it's just such a rocken song. It's the song that the radio stations always play, because "it" is Fleetwood Mac.
I know this has probably been discussed to death, but too bad |

Great song and I even love it live. I even liked Lindsey's Soundstage version. Lindsey could do a few more rocking songs IMHO.

I don't know you but I found it very.. Californian. When I was last september visiting several places (LA, SD, Santa Barbara, Solvang), I love to play that song very loud on the freeway (specially when there was no traffic ha haaa |

Even though there are other FM songs (especially from the Rumors era) that I like just as well, I believe GYOW is one of their best songs and not just because it was (and still is) so successful. My reasons why:
1) I can't for the life of me remember when I first heard it. It seems like I have always known that song.And it makes me feel good every time I hear it. 2) It is one of the songs that every single time I hear them make me think: "one must be a very inspired musician to write such a simple yet perfect song". GYOW is one of the few examples that show that great songs don't need to have complicated lyrics or over-sophisticated sound or whatever. It is pure simplicity. To be it differently: IMO it is a song that had to be written 3) I just love the way it starts "loving you..." and Stevie's "packing up-shacking up" singing along at the live versions !!! That's all from me! |

However, I am becoming bored with the live versions of late. Lindsey's soundstage version was pretty blah to me. |
