Heart If you had to pick just ONE from 'BTM'?

1990's 'Behind The Mask' is a pretty good album.

If you had to pick your fave, which song is it?


Mine is 'Back of My Mind'

Behind the Mask or Save Me.

BTM has that wonderful spookiness about it without being ominous and Save Me just makes me want to jump and dance (wether it should or not)

Definitely, the title track...Behind The Mask.

One of Christine's best songs ever.

I'll also say 'Behind the Mask'. The album has many great songs, though!!!

I know it's either Save Me or Behind the Mask . . . but I just have to go with "Hard Feelings"

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

I agree. That's my favorite. Rocks, has a hard, sinister edge. Very refreshing.

Save Me is my second favorite from the album.

Freedom! It ROCKS!

Save Me and Behind The Mask are definitely close runners up, though.

I've always found the mixture of the quality of songs on BTM to be quite intriguing. Everything seems to be really great, or gawd-awful turds. There's like no middle ground at all. For instance, I feel Stevie contributes one of the strongest songs of the album, (Freedom), while also bringing to the table what are arguably the album's worst songs. The same goes for the production on this album. While universally heavy-handed... that actually works in Christine's favor on Behind The Mask, while I think In The Back Of My Mind sounds utterly cheesy and over the top Halloween-y.

Thumbs up

Nobody mentioned 'Love is Dangerous' That's a good one. It kinda has a country feel to it.

Yes, there are alot great songs. I love at the end of 'Save Me' when you can hear Stevie singing "Save Me....SAVE Me" LOL

'Do You Know' is a beautiful song.

I love the feeling of 'In the back of my mind' ...the harmonies are great & Stevie's voice is haunting in this song.
