"The Second Time" isn't JUST my least favorite song of Behind The Mask, it is BY FAR, topping my list of "WORST FLEETWOOD MAC SONGS OF ALL-TIME".

Unfortunately, of the Top 5 on that list, 3 of them are Stevie's.

1) The Second Time
2) When You Say
3) No Questions Asked
4) Not That Funny (Tusk Studio version only)
5) Welcome To The Room...Sara

I do think that one of Stevie's songs has a good chance of winning Least Favorite Fleetwood Mac song.

Stevie's Tango/BTM songs just don't strike that chord that Rhiannon, Dreams, or Gold Dust Woman do.

The Second Time is 100% garbage.

Interesting list. I actually quite like "Not That Funny," "No Questions Asked," and "Welcome to the Room... Sara."

I'm not sure what would make my top 5 exactly. I mean, I absolutely detest "The Second Time," but I also really, really hate "Oh Diane." After that... hard to say.

I'd say the worst Fleetwood Mac songs are:
1. Empire State
2. When I See You Again
3. When You Say (though Christine's version is okay)
4. The Way I Feel
5. The Derelict
6. Blood On The Floor (I know it's a parody, but it's never connected)
7. Drifting (the only song of Peter Green's I don't really dig)
8. Family Man
9. The City
10. The Second Time

Some recalculations...the TOP (or BOTTOM) 9:

1) The Second Time
2) When You Say (either version, it's the song itself that sucks...Christine COULDN'T improve on it)
3) Oh Diane
4) No Questions Asked
5) Not That Funny (studio)
6) Welcome To The Room...Sara
7) (I'm A) Roadrunner
8) Straight Back
9) Can't Go Back
...well, ok, that's about it for Fleetwood Mac suckage...only 9.


Ummm..Steve, you got something against songs about New York??

If they stink I do!

Upon further review, though, I may have forgotten about a few and may need to update the list.

The nominees are not fair. Why pre-select songs when there is a whole album of them to vote on?

I believe they were all voted on by category already, & these were the selections.

My vote goes to the cloying "Do You Know".

My only problem with "The Second Time" is it's too much voice for the little guitar. If Stevie had given a vocal like "It's Only Love" or "Goodbye Baby" for this one, it would be much better.

You can mold sh*t into the shape of a rose, but it'll still smell like sh*t.

Exactly what I thought when I heard there was an alternate version of "Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind".

Yeah I a few Ledgies were just making a list of some other least favorite songs. I plan on doing a massive update soon with all the actual vote winners.

I like "The Second Time"! It's ten times better than "When I See You Again."

Uhhh didn't you say That Made Me Stronger was one of your favourite Stevie tunes? The Second Time is like the entirety of Abbey Road in comparison to That Made Me Stronger... and it's STILL not very good.
