I agree. I really like Intuition also and I think it could have replaced a bunch of songs on the album. It's definitely better than Love is Dangerous.

I actually quite like "Stand On the Rock." Yeah, the lyrics are stupid, but I really enjoy the guitar work on it. Besides, I have "Intuition" on Vito's solo CD King of Hearts so I've got the best of both worlds anyway.

Sure, but the Fleetwood Mac version is SO much better.

(and for the following reasons):

1) The rhythm section is Mick Fleetwood & John McVie instead of a drum machine and Rick Vito himself playing bass

2) The background vocals by Christine McVie & Billy Burnette are fuller than those by Stevie Nicks alone

3) IT'S FLEETWOOD MAC DAMN IT!!!!

Not Rick Vito's solo version of "Love Is Dangerous". THAT kicks som serious butt.

I honestly think of all the stuff I've heard from that period, "Intuition" could have been THE biggest hit of the 1990s for Fleetwood Mac. It had radio airplay written all over it. The person who decided to leave that off BTM altogether should have his or her head examined.

For my tastes, Christine & Billy's backing vox lack oomph, and sound too slight. Stevie's vocals add a moody effect similar to the way they do on John Stewart's "Midnight Wind," and compliment the song's overall vibe much better.

I wouldn't have been opposed to all three collaborating on the backing vocals though, and they probably would have, if "Intuition" had made it to the final running order for 'Mask.'

I have never heard the Fleetwood Mac version. I didn't even know there was a Mac version! Would anyone be so kind to post that as well?

I think I heard this once or twice. It left no impression on me, as you can see.

It reminds me nothing of "The Weird Beast" by Rickie Lee Jones.

Having heard the outtakes before the actual album, I found it hard to believe the album could be that strong that Intutition was left off it.

Having heard the album has not changed that opinion.

I think this gets back to the frustration that many fans have about that era of Fleetwood Mac. I know I sound like a broken record, but Fleetwood Mac releasing the "Tango" concert video and "Greatest Hits" album and Stevie releasing the "Red Rocks" video and OSOTM is what really killed this band. First (and I've varied my opinion on this), the band should have released an EP in 1988, maybe while they were on the road, that would introduce the new line-up. Actually, what would have been cool is if they had released a full-blown album featuring some of the retro/blues songs recorded during that era and mixed in the b-sides from "Mirage" and "Tango" helping transition into the "new" incarnation. (Hey, it would have been more useful than the box set!)

Walk Another Mile
Roll With Me Henry
Cool Water
Book Of Miracles
Love Is Dangerous
Ricky
Whole Lotta Trouble
You And I Pt. 1
Can't Help Falling In Love
When The Sun Goes Down
Down Endless Street
I Still Miss Someone

Then, they should have released "Behind The Mask" (produced by Patrick Leonard) in 1989.

Skies The Limit
Victim Of Love
Rooms On Fire
Got No Home
Save Me
Affairs Of The Heart
In The Back Of My Mind
Behind The Mask
Stand On The Rocks
Do You Know
Intuition
Paper Doll
As Long As You Follow
The Game Of Love
