Default Intuition
Seriously, how did this not end up on "Behind The Mask"?

Great song... but honestly, to me it almost sounds more a late 1980s thing to me rather than new 90s era-Mac.

In my opinion, it's a lot better than Stand On the Rock!

An Enema is better than Stand On The Rock. I wouldn't insult Intuition by placing it on such an inconsistent, mushy...downright terrible album.

Yeah, but it was released in the spring of 1990, which wasn't that far removed from the late 1980s. (And, if THAT sounds too old for the album, what in the hell was "When The Sun Goes Down"?)

I can't say I disagree.

Eh, I don't mind SOTR. I've never gotten all of the hate for it. It's not the best song the band ever recorded, but I can think of a lot worse. I can think of worse on BTM.

To your second point, I agree BTM is a mess. It strives to do everything, but does none of it well. Having heard some of what DIDN'T make the cut, I wonder what the hell they were thinking. I'd say it could have been a great record, but actually it could have been three great records (or at least better than what we got). But, this was a period of missteps, which actually began when they got back together in 1986.

Oh was it? I thought it was a 1992 track from his King of Hearts album.

That's when it was officially released. It was re-recorded for KOH. However, it there's a BTM-era demo floating around.

Another great song Rick wrote and would have been awesome with Fleetwood Mac would have been "Surrender To Me" which was recorded by McGuinn-Clark-Hillman (or, as I call them, The Byrds). It's VERY easy to hear how this would have translated.
