Paper Doll's always been one of my favourites. I've never understood why I seem to be in a small minority of people who enjoy it. But I'm with you for Silver Girl. Oh those lyrics. What were you thinking, Stevie...

Man, I only voted for one. I should have read the post first.

I voted for Silver Girl, but my second vote probably would have gone to Paper Doll.

Agreed on everything here. I always loved Paper Doll from when I first got the 2CD version of the Chain box set. Before I even thought to care about which version of the band recorded it. And Silver Girl could potentially be much less horrible if Stevie threw a new set of lyrics on it.

Why are people voting for Angel?!? One of my favorite songs on Tusk!

Angel and Crystal are getting votes, but When I See You Again isn't?

World's gone nucking futs on me.

I was thinking the same thing.

I personally really like When I See You Again, but I realize that's not necessarily the most popular opinion.

Angel, I can even understand... However, CRYSTAL? :distress:

The Second Time and Silver Girl. Whilst Silver Girl isn't that bad, The Second Time is just pure garbage. I really love most of the other songs in this poll, though. Even When I See You Again. :laugh:

I agree with you on both these things! I think Paper Doll is just a fun little song.

And I think Angel is wretchedly dull and overblown. It's actually the only song I could vote off on this poll. :)

I don't hate any of these songs (and I love "Straight Back").
This was tough...
I don't like the chorus to "Angel" (some of the dumbest lyrics she ever wrote).
I'm not nuts about the sound of "Paper Doll", except for the drums & bass, but I find the lyrics to be really good.
I don't mind "Silver Girl" at all. I always figured she took the title from "Bridge Over Troubled Water" & just ran with the old-time rock chick theme. Her vocals on that album are hit-or-miss, but she sounds fine throughout this song. These days that's worth something.
IDWTK lacks the lyrical depth of Stevie's great masterpieces, but for what it is, it's really good.
"Crystal" is a classic that belongs in the live set (though I still say she should have done the lead vocal in '75 - we already had Lindsey's on BN anyway).

So my votes went to "The Second Time", which needed a lighter, more It's-Only-Love-type vocal to fit the simple acoustic sound, and WISYA, which is not as awful as most people think, but is still not as good as the other choices here.

Crystal...because it's not her vocal
The Second Time...love the song, but the weak link on this list.

I may be wrong but aren't they talking about the 1998 version?:shrug:

Yup, only songs I dislike here are Angel and Silver Girl. I think Silver Girl is the better of the two by a long shot though.

Don't think so since that's a solo recording not FMac.

We're using the 1975 Fleetwood Mac recording.

Angel and Straight Back are two of my favorite's. When I See You Again and The Second Time are too similiar.

The others are okay, but finding two to vote for should be fairly easy for me.

In the least favorite Stevie song from Tusk poll, Angel got the most votes, 27. Personally it is one of my favorites.

Because Stevie's performance on Tusk is actually flawless?

Picking least favorite Stevie tracks Fleetwood Mac-Mirage is a near-impossible task. And yeah, Angel rules.

Why isn't "Welcome to the Room....Sara" on this list?

Kind of baffles me that "Crystal" is on it. I've never heard of that referred to as a "bad" song before.

Ended up voting for "The Second Time" and "When I See You Again".

These polls are all part of the "Least Favorite Fleetwood Mac Song" contest I started back in April. We are now in the Part 2 of the contest in which the winners from those polls compete and the songs are narrowed down to the #1 least favorite Fleetwood Mac song. This contest covered all FM songs and albums.

Check the thread below here for more information. :cool:
