That'll teach me to not read 'em before I submit 'em!

Oh Diane is in my Top 10 - they weren't in any particular order!!!!!

Hey, "Oh Diane" is a good song! Maybe its rythm is very "catchy", and you know, is not an epic song, a work of art, but, is nice! What I really regret is that the definitive version doesn't have the energy of the demo version. Maybe that could change something...
Regards!

[shackin'up]

NO ORDER

1) Oh Well
2) Hypnotized
3) Man Of The World
4) Rattlesnake Shake (live boston tea party)
5) I'm So Afraid
6) Go Your Own Way
7) I Know I'm Not Wrong
8) Storms
9) Sara
10) Bleed To Love Her

How do I put SMAP, EOTW, That's Enough For Me, Over & Over, Why and Landslide in there?

[louielouie2000]

I'm just going to go with my initial stream of conscious:

1. Brown Eyes
2. Gold Dust Woman
3. Prove Your Love
4. Hypnotized
5. Why
6. Storms
7. Oh Daddy
8. Hold Me
9. As Long As You Follow
10. Illume

I didn't expect Christine to take up the majority of my selections! Or for Lindsey to not be present at all...

[GoldDustGypsy]

1.Dreams
2.Rhiannon
3.Gold Dust Woman
4.Beautiful Child
5.Silver Springs
6.I'm So Afraid
7.Only Over You
8.Sisters of the Moon
9.Go Your Own Way
10.The Chain


I feel like my list is somewhat of a greatest hits/most famous list...but I think they're my favorite for the simple fact that these are the songs that made me fall in love with FM. Just as I could listen to Dreams on repeat constantly and it would always be my favorite song of all time- it opened the world of FM to me and for that reason will always hold a special place in my heart.

Believe Me (McVie's best pop track, should've been a monster hit in 73)

Go Your Own Way (as above, but guitar work and vocals are stellar on album and early live versions)
Walk a Thin Line (wow)
One Together (can't forget Jeremy)
Gypsy (again should be higher, but the other tracks are better imo)
Hold Me (another wonderful song)
Miles Away (smoking guitar from Bob Welch, again why not a monster hit from 73).
