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?

(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.

Excellent topic. I couldn't let this thread go by without posting. I HATE, HATE, HATE "Welcome to the Room, Sara". As everyone knows, I love Stevie more than anything, but this song is just horrific.

"Only Over You" (the only song of Christine's I actually despise)
"One More Night" (boring)
"Not That Funny" (like others have said, I do enjoy it live)
"Welcome to the Room....Sara" (rambling mess)
"When I See You Again" (ditto)

I'm also not too keen on "Illume," though I like some of the lyrics. Oh, and most of Stevie's material on Behind the Mask.

Interesting topic. I don't get all of the hate for "Welcome To The Room... Sara" - I actually love that song.

Christine - "Sugar Daddy", "Warm Ways", "Over My Head". I'm not a fan of her contributions to the White album. At all. I find them boring and I think she wrote better songs during the Buckingham-Nicks era. However, I think she is the most consistently good writer, even though Stevie's songs are my favourite.

Stevie - "Sweet Girl", "Goodbye Baby" (well, I love the early demos), "The Second Time", "Paper Doll".

Lindsey - "Oh Diane", "Empire State", "Can't Go Back", "Eyes Of The World", "Book Of Love". I can't stand his "Mirage" contributions.
