Default songs you don't like

Of course, I love Fleetwood Mac but...are there any songs that you just don't like, for whatever reason? Example.. I truly think Lindsey is amazing, but I don't like "Save Me a Place" from Tusk. The words are fine but the way it's sung could've been better. Anyone else have their own examples??

"When You Say" from Then Play On (Christine's cover isn't much better)
"(I'm A) Roadrunner" from Penguin
"Not That Funny", the Tusk studio version (I DO like the live versions)
"Welcome To The Room...Sara", from TitN
"The Second Time", from Behind The Mask
"No Questions Asked", from the Greatest Hits

Those, for me, are the "worst offenders"...everything else they've done ranges from I "find some redeeming value for" all the way to "love it all the way down to my soul".

EDIT:

OOOPS!! Forgot the one(s) from Say You Will...

"Running Through The Garden"

and, depending on my mood when it comes on,

"Silver Girl".

I completely agree about "The Second Time"!But I can't think of a song by Christine that I dislike.

I really disliked:

Silver Girl
Mystified
When I see You Again "What's the matter - baby, baiby"

I know, great song, super guitar, essence of LB, all true but nevertheless, I have always and will always violently hate all and every version of "So Afraid". Can't Lindsey just take a Xanax like everyone else?

I think the only song of hers that I don' t like to listen to is "Mystified". But I only like to listen to Chris for short periods of time. Even her best stuff, I can only take in limited doses. Same goes for Lindsey. The only one I CAN listen to for days on end is Stevie.

(Didn't we have a super long thread about this fairly recently? Oh well, always fun to chat about nonetheless...)

Here's the ones I really, really, really don't like ("hate" is a strong word):

"Sugar Daddy" - Christine - Fleetwood Mac - I just never really understood what was going on here ha

"Don't Stop" - Christine - Rumours - I can guarantee you that I would have liked this when the album first dropped in '77. It's just... well, Bill Clinton kind of ruined it for me. When I listen to it, I have to kind of teleport myself back to the '70s (which is hard to do because, well, I wasn't alive back then.)

"That's Enough For Me" - Lindsey - Tusk - Yeah, well I've about had enough of this song, Linds. Repetitive, much?

"Honey Hi" - Tusk - Why, Christine, why??

"Welcome to the Room... Sara" - Stevie - TITN - This song never did anything for me.

I'll refrain from posting my hatees from Say You Will.

Not That Funny
Eyes Of The World
Empire State
Can't Go Back
Oh Diane
Family Man
Everybody Finds Out

I find these songs to be almost self-mocking of the band.

When I See You Again
Come
Smile At You

I have yet to hear the Mirage album in its entirety.

Pretty much like every song from FM, Rumours, & Tusk - and all the LB/CM contributions to TITN. They could've cut SYW down to about 10 songs and it would've been way better.

And if we're including pre-Rumours lineups...well, pretty much all of Then Play On (except maybe Rattlesnake Shake) and Bare Trees.

Fleetwood Mac helped me through a time of heartbreak. 12 years later, they broke my heart.
