With the choices listed, I selected The Chain. The best song from the best era listed. Lotsa great songs to choose from though, I wish FM would play a bit more older tunes on occasion. I know they play Oh Well which is an awesome song, but Hypnotized is a good one among others to add.

Yeah, I'm glad they play Oh Well in concerts again.

Hypnotized is a great song, it's a shame it has zero votes here. But if you look at 1975 concert versions on youtube, Lindsey didn't do it nearly the justice it deserves... although maybe now when he's older and has a completely different voice, he might do it better.

You predicted it too well, Cassie!
All three of these songs deserve to be in the Fleetwood Mac hall of fame, all so beautifully written and played.

I had originally thought that Silver Springs was gonna win the whole thing (I found a poll on the Penguin from a few years ago that had it winning by a landslide, no pun intended ). Now, once the poll got underway, I had a feeling one of those 3 would win it.

I had afeeling it was gonna be Go Your Own Way too. In fact, it came fifth on this poll from 2000 and yes, I know it's was done when i was in the 4th grade, but when i found it, I initially thought this poll could serve as a basis for this contest.

EDIT: i realized 2 things: this poll was done 3 years after The Dance, so the Silver Springs from it could still be strong in fans' minds. And the fact that it was done when i was in the 4th grade, and considering I'm a college junior now, kinda says something about how old it is

Even though I voted for Sara, I knew The Chain was gonna win because that song, more than any other, defines what is Rumours era Mac more than any other on that list. But I'd rather hear Sara, thank you very much.

Yeah, before I started this battle of the songs, I looked back through the archives on the Ledge for all the different variations of song contest that had been done. None of them broke it down by vocalist, which was the basis of this battle. They did a lot of album survivor type contest. On contest came down to Rhiannon vs The Chain, I believe. Usually Christine's song were picked off first with Stevie's winning... My way here seemed more fair and even. Gypsy is the one that has surprised me alot. I'm thrilled though since its my favorite FM Song!
