I'd choose As Long As You Follow. It's got a pleasant but boring video - and it sounds like a Fleetwood Mac song all around. Christine's vocals are stellar, and the harmonies from Stevie, Rick and Billy are like a nice big red bow on the song package.

No Questions Asked, while I like it, doesn't fit the Fleetwood Mac bill very well. The guitars in the beginning especially sound out of place. The song needs a key change, and a slower tempo. The worst offense this song commits though is lacking any Stevie-ness whatsoever. Yes those are her vocals, but she sings them like someone else and not Stevie Nicks, of Fleetwood Mac.

5 seconds of "great" don't make up for the other 4+ minutes of excruciating sonic agony.

Agree 10,000%!!

I love ALAYF. NQA was never in my ipod or mp3 collections, though I wouldn't qualify it cow shyte related. Actually I don't even remember how that song sounds. I just didn't like it and never played again (as other few mac songs)
