Right now I'm watching the 40 most softsational rock songs at VH1
here is the list:

and there is no Fleetwood Mac song. I wonder what songs could have been there. Maybe Dreams? It's a soft rock melody, though the Rumours lyrics are full of conflict and a bit far from sweet romanticism (maybe except for Songbird).
According to VH1 these songs were titans of tenderness... the sultans of sensitivity... the monsters of mellow, I guess FM songs does not fit there, or some song does?
What I realize also is that singers were more romantic during 70s and 80s. Silly sweet lyrics were easy to become hits.
By the way, the "commentary from an award-winning, non-threatening panel of celebrities, comedians, journalists and soft rock experts" is really funny.
