Default Mystery To Me Survivor: Rounds 1-2

Since we've already had survivors for Bare Trees & Penguin, I thought we would try one for Mystery To Me. This album seems to be a favorite of quite a few pre-Rumours line-up fans & even a few Buckingham/Nicks fans as well. I'm biased, but I think Mystery To Me is the best Fleetwood Mac album ever.

Here are the general rules, so to speak. I'll add up the votes each morning when I first log on to the Ledge. If there's a tie, I'll leave it open until someone breaks the tie. There will be no immunity questions, just vote your least favorite song off.

Here are the songs:

Emerald Eyes
Believe Me
Just Crazy Love
Hypnotized
Forever
Keep On Going
The City
Miles Away
Somebody
The Way I Feel
For Your Love
Why

Default Round 1- For Your Love

Yay!

Okay, I'm voting for "For Your Love" because it's the only song on the album that I never have liked.

Default Miles Away

I like Miles Away, but something's got to go first.

Default Round 1: The Way I Feel

If there even comes CLOSE to a weak spot on this album, "The Way I Feel" is it...but that is only by close scrutiny & default. This album is just TOO good...there's no way that this "Survivor" is going to end on a good note; I fear the fall-out.

Arrow Round 1: The City

Just don't care for this song, but it's probably the only one, so that's pretty dang good.

Yay! This will be a great survivor

"Somebody" just irritates me.

Default for your love

because it's a cover that is nothing more than "coming close" to the original.

PS: I ADORE the City!!!!

Of the 1970-1974 years I think Bare Trees is superior, and Heroes Are Hard To Find is on par.

I can't conceal that I don't really like The Way I Feel.

No way Bare Trees is superior (IMHO) ...it has "Thoughts On A Grey Day" that excludes it, right there.

Plus, Mystery To Me has 3 more songs of higher quality than anything on Bare Trees...mo' music, mo' music, mo' music.

I guess, for me, the vibe of Bare Trees is so different from Mystery To Me. I couldn't imagine living without Sunny Side Of Heaven, Sentimental Lady, Spare Me A Little, Dust, Emerald Eyes, Believe Me, Hypnotized, Miles Away, and Why. OTOH, I COULD live without Danny's Chant, Thoughts On A Grey Day, The City, and The Way I Feel. I will say that these are the two best from the Welch years, BY FAR.

I can't believe there are people who don't like "The Way I Feel"!

And Mary Anne, what on earth are you doing trying to vote off like, the third best song on the album in the first round???
