Rumours: Non-Hits

[MacShadowsBall]

I had a crazy day and meant to start the poll yesterday, so here it is today!

Vote for your favorite non-hit from the Rumours album. Five songs, single choice. Depending on the results there may or may not be a second round.

Poll closes in 4 days. :cool:

I love SHN, IDWTK, and NGBA pretty much equally. But I went with NGBA... for no real reason, I just had to choose one so I did.

[bluefox4000]

I went with Oh Daddy.....I've always held a soft spot for it.:nod:

[Hawkeye]

This was actually an easy choice. Oh daddy hands down.

[bangdrum]

No question... Second Hand News.

[Artemis]

So close between Second Hand News and IDWTK! Went for SHN, better harmonies.

The Oh Daddy version on Disk 2 of the Rumours CD is by far the best though. :laugh:

I'd love to see what kind of harmonies they could arrange to perform IDWTK live today. I love the energy SHN has, exemplified by the fury with which Stevie twirls her mic ribbons. I would hope think they could bring that kind of infectious dynamic to IDWTK.

I'm glad Songbird got some votes. When I left earlier it didn't have any.

Songbird seems to be overlooked for one reason or other. :shrug:

Yeah I thought a few more than that too.

I love the way Mick Fleetwood describes "Songbird" on classic albums.

Edith Piaf reference..

I would have never taken you for an "Oh Daddy" fan.. You surprise often. :D

Verbs are overrated. :lol:

I <33 Songbird...such a pretty song! It was tough not choosing it, but, I had to go with Second Hand News, for the lyrics :D and for it being so much fun live!

no competition - SHN - the music, the lyrics, the aggression, the cheekiness, the bam-bam-bams, the structure, the length - it is a perfect and genius little pop song that leaves you wanting more of it.


there's a reason that it's still a hit to this day :p:p [however much you all insisted it is not a *legitimate* hit, whatever that's supposed to mean in the age of satellite radio, digital downloads, all different personal online music services...].

even Kid Rock felt the need to include an homage to it.

[iamnotafraid]

Is it a bit cliche to say I like them all?
But if it's one you need, well then it's
Songbird.

Sigh.:rolleyes: Nevermind that it's 30+ years old and none of that was around then....and that it was never released as a single. Wasn't a hit then, certainly not a hit now. Seriously? This is not a difficult concept. By the way, there are still singles - they're called "digital singles". And there are still charts for singles, even in iTunes.

Album cuts (all the other songs on an album not released as a single) still do not have charts. Why would they? If the song is not promoted or played on the radio (or back in the day you could only purchase it as part of the album) then the song would not chart. But, there are charts for albums.

[McTrouble]

It was a toss up between SHN and NGBA as I love them both equally - SHN won this time :)

I absolutely cannot stand Oh Daddy and Songbird!

[PolishStevieFan]

I voted for "Never Going Back Again" as it's one of my all time favourite songs. I just like its acoustic, down to earth, simplicity and of course that guitar...

Sigh.:rolleyes:

"Oh Daddy"

[MacShadowsBall]

Lindsey's songs are doing really well.

Although my vote goes to "Oh Daddy". :D

[MacShadowsBall]

Second Hand News wins with 17 votes.

Never Going Back Again and I Don't Want to Know may move on in another fashion.

Thanks! :cool:
