Not voting. Nu uh. Not going to happen. It's like Homer Simpson voting for his favourite Doughnut. I just can't do it. *Steals them all to a safer place where they're all loved equally*

Yup, pretty much this.

Come.

Maybe it's too rock for me. :shrug:

"Red Rover" - not nuts about the melody or vocal, plus it has no place on a Mac album. At least "Miranda" sounds like a Mac song, not a solo one.

Ooooh. Miranda's my favorite song of his on the album. One of my favorite songs on the album altogether.

I'm not really into rock either. But Gift of Screws would be a major exception.

"Red Rover" - not nuts about the melody or vocal, plus it has no place on a Mac album.

Similarly, I think Come is a great song for LB to have out there in his repertoire, but it's not a Fleetwood Mac song. I think it's less Macky than Red Rover, but maybe that's because at least RR has Stevie on it and she even stayed for it in concert.

I voted for Come but don't get me wrong, I like the song. In fact I like every one of these songs. It's too late now but I should have done what Bee did and just not vote.

Come, easily. I think all his other songs on SYW are pretty decent.

I like most of Lindsey's material on "Say You Will" with the exception of "Red Rover". I just don't get it. Doesn't sound like a Mac song to me. "Murrow Turning Over In His Grave" is a cool song but should have been on a solo record. Just sounds like another "I'm So Afraid" take-off, like the "Tango In The Night" guitar solo. The rest of the songs work for me as Mac numbers basically, just not "Red Rover". It's really the most "Lindsey solo" song on the whole CD for me.

As always I have to force myself to vote for a Lindsey song so I opted for Murrow - even though I do love it. But I love the other LB songs more.

"Murrow Turning Over In His Grave" is a cool song but should have been on a solo record.

I like this song a lot but they missed an opportunity to make it better. Stevie (and, yes, Christine) would have sounded great on the chorus. Why layer Lindsey's voice when there's another singer in the band? It makes no sense to me, especially when we hear Lindsey on the chorus for "Smile at You" & "Running through the Garden".

Peace Keeper. I Also hate What's the World Coming to, But Peacekeeper Edges it. In fact I think this is Lindsey's best "Mac"......."cough cough".........album.

Same here. I have no idea what made them decide to perform "Red Rover" on the tour when they could/should have done "Miranda"...

I voted for Miranda before I read that we were voting for our least favourite song!! It's my fave Lindsey one on the record - can my vote be discounted?? D'oh!

I voted "Murrow", though there were a few songs that would've been better on a Lindsey solo record.

My least favorite is "Come." I much prefer it live.

I think "Red Rover" is fantastic.

:lol::lol: I already voted, Dodfather, otherwise I'd have given you my vote coz I LOVE 'Miranda' too! I voted for 'Come', which is the musical equivalent of flashing, and about as alluring.

I love every one of these songs....except Say Goodbye. It's okay, but I usually always skip it.

Ugh, this is hard to pick just one, because there are at least 3 songs by Lindsey that I cannot stomach on this record; Come, Whats The World Coming To & Murrow (which should have been a solo song imo) plus I always skip Miranda & Say Goodbye was ruined (the Gift Of Screws bootleg version is much much better)

Murrow is my favorite song by Lindsey on SYW. I love the way his vocals bounce back and forth between the left and right speakers. I always wondered what it would sound like on multiple speakers? Another thing I loved is how it was placed as the second song on the album. In this way it reminds me of the song The Ledge from Tusk, also placed as the second song on that album. These are the only two (studio) double albums from FM and for those similarities it enhanced my listening experience.

Oh no :distress:! It's my very fav song on the album!

Closely followed by all Lindsey's other ones on there! :laugh:

I voted for Murrow not because I don't love it (I do), but because I don't think Red Rover is bad at all, and I think Come just fits into the ISA-Tango-etc mold (plus I actually like the album version, with the channeled voices and such). Murrow was meant to be a solo song, and it sounds like it.

to me, What's The World Coming To (although sadly very appropriate title these days...) is by far the worst Lindsey song on SYW. closely followed by Say Goodbye (i just really dislike that style of music - even more pronounced on non-sped up live version, can't be saved even with his whirlwind guitar playing). every other one of his songs on this album is a gem:nod: (imo of course:)) - but i can understand how some of them are not to everybody's taste and it is amusing to observe how they elicit all these very strong reactions - some negative, some positive.

So I'm actually listening to Lindsey songs from Say You Will.:eek: Figured it was the least I could do!

Um, yeah.

I see why Come and Red Rover are tied for least favorite. I listened to both of em and can agree on that vote.

I did not like Red Rover the first few listens. A friend from New Hampster suggested I try to get into it. I gave it some more listens and then it clicked. It is a really good song. I don't know if you care what I think but give it some tiime. It'll grow on you.

I appreciate your opinion, vivfox, but generally for me one or two listens to any song does it for me in the like/dislike category. Also, for me, 75% of Lindsey's songs are in the dislike category. :shrug:

Bleed to Love Her, Say Goodbye, Murrow Turning Over In His Grave are okay. I do prefer the Dance version of Bleed to Love Her.

However, I really enjoyed What's the World Coming To, Miranda, Peacekeeper, and Steal Your Heart Away. :D

Listening to Stevie's now.......

I agree with you here - it's a shame in a way that the SYW version of BTLH is not nearly as strong as the live Dance version. It's in my top 5 of Lindsey songs but it just sounds too weak on SYW compared to the wonderful live effort!

I Agree about the studio version of BTLH as well. That's the only Lindsey where his guitar solo bores me. Long, noodling, pointless. I hate Peacekeeper because the demo is so much better.

Love Come, Murrow and red Rover to death though........:thumbsup: I geuss I just love his weird Lindsey Land tracks. lol.

Red Rover. Just can't stand it. My tastes in Lindsey's music are very vanilla. I like Steal Your Heart Away and Second Hand News, for instance. I do not like songs like Red Rover and Tusk.
