Rumours - Analyze Your Least Favorites

[YoungAmericans]

Sick to death of - Oh Daddy. I wouldn't say I'm sick to death of it. I really like it, but not as much as the others.

The forgotten about little song that could - probably I Don't Want to Know. I totally agree that it saves the album. If it wasn't there, it would be too much of a slow ending. It's a great little bouncy song.

Doesn't belong on Rumours - Oh Daddy... I just think it's lacking something that the others have. My least favourite Chris song with FM.

Everybody else likes em, but not me - Oh Daddy, I guess.

Much better peformed live - none. I like them all how they are on the album and live.

Should "Silver Springs" been on the Rumours album? I think it should of replaced Oh Daddy, because I think it's just way better.


Overall least favorite - Oh Daddy.

Sick to death of - Easy choice. "Don't Stop" - Christine's piano chops can't save this song from being the blandest of bland all these years later.

The forgotten about little song that could - "Second Hand News" - this song is groovy (my Marsha Brady moment) and features nice BN harmonies. I love that FM have revived this song in concert, but I'm surprised its generally ignored on classic rock stations.

Doesn't belong on Rumours - This ones hard. My 1st instinct is to toss away "Oh Daddy", but ultimately I believe all these songs belong on Rumours.

Everybody else likes em, but not me - "Songbird" or "Oh Daddy" are just Meh to me, don't find myself seeking them out ever. I only play them when I listen to Rumours as a whole, which is a rare occasion these days.

Much better peformed live - "Gold Dust Woman" is more muscular in concert, but I still enjoy the trippy and restrained studio version.

Should "Silver Springs" been on the Rumours album? Hindsight is 20/20 and with "The Dance" squarely in view - My answer is NO. The Rumours version was a popular enough b-side in its day, and received steady FM radio airplay 77' through mid 80's - so it was far from obscure. This song was more emotionally stunning when it was resurrected for The Dance, and had far more reaching resonance. I also prefer the 97' arrangement over 77's.

Overall least favorite - "Oh Daddy"!
