OK, so why is Skies the Limit on TVBOFM but Save Me isn't? They were both singles, correct? I like Save Me much better personally. :nod:

Oh, and for all the picking on Stevie's writing/grammar/pronunciation that we do (myself included), I just have to note that it should be "Sky's the Limit." :angel:

I think the title's pretty annoying, too. I can't decide if I like "Save Me" more than the song or not. I'll have to listen to both of them more.

But what I think is more important is HOW and WHY did "Family Man" wind up on TVBOFM? :nod: :confused:

I love both Skies (Sky's) The Limit and Save Me. I do prefer Save Me, though. I have no idea why STL was chosen over it. I guess it fits better in the running order or something....I dunno. :shrug:

As for Family Man....I love love love this song! It was a single, and Liddy didn't have many singles with the band. I think it deserves to be on TVBOFM. As for Go Insane....I love this song, too, but I dunno if it was a good choice for the CD. Oh well. I'm still glad it is on there.

I was just listening to this CD at work. SKIP! I don't like it either. And Paper Doll? Is one of the Very Best? I think not.

Maybe they thought people would run for cover if they knew Save Me was on VBoFM? Okay, that was lame.

I'm sure including Paper Doll was simply to make sure there were a couple tracks that everyone didn't have. Mick needs our money.... ;)

Yes, it should be "Sky's The Limit". This has annoyed me for years. :laugh: Both "Save Me" & "Skies The Limit" were singles. But "Save Me" charted higher, so there is no logical reason why "Skies The Limit" is on TVBOFM. I think "Paper Doll" was a single from the Chain box set, but it never charted. That could be why it's on TVBOFM. In my opinion, "Go Insane" should NOT have been on there since it's a Lindsey Buckingham SOLO song, not a Fleetwood Mac song.

I could talk about Paper Doll for days, but I don't want to clog up the Chris forum with Stevie love. :D

Don't you threaten me girly, or I'll have no choice but to kick it really hard...

Sesly, I don't HATE Paper Doll, it's a fun little ditty, I actually quite like it. I just don't think it's one of their top 30 or whatever. :cool: Apparently any single ever released by the Rumours era of the band automatically ended up on there - oh, except for Save Me, that is :shrug:

Except for Fireflies and Farmer's Daughter. Grrrr....I'm still angry about them not being accounted for. :mad:

ITA agree - it is a GREAT song - I guess The Band hated the Live record so much - they dumped it. Plus, La Nicks was in the middle, I think, of recording the whole BD thing. Ah - fate :cool:

I forgot about Fireflies - one of my all time faves. Damn, I think I forgot to put that in my Top 10...

Anyway, I never realized that Farmer's Daughter was a single. It's OK, I don't love the tune itself, but the harmonies make it worthwhile.

Amber, you must RUN, don't walk, to the record store (heehee, record store, how old am i?) and purchase the 2CD "Fleetwood Mac Live" album. Fireflies alone is worth the price!

As is....

....Rhiannon (OMG....It's the best!)
....NGBA (It's kick ass)
....Over My Head (the only rockin' version I know :p )

Paula is right, though....Fireflies is worth the gas money and price.

Also Save me was done live on the BTM tour. I guess they put skies the limit on there because there was a video for it. Thats just my guess.

As for paper doll I love it.

I prefer "Skies The Limit" to "Save Me"~~~I think Save Me was played into the ground on AOR radio here and if something gets too popular I usually go for the underdog and the unique!

There is a video for Save Me as well but here again I like the Skies The Limit video with the live concert and backstage atmosphere. The Save Me video is just dark and bland, IMO.
