FINALS - Favorite Non-Hit Song

[MacShadowsBall]

After five months, a billion polls, threads, and discussions, we arrive to the finals in the favorite non-hit song contest.

Four songs made the finals - Why, Second Hand News, Silver Springs, and Storms. Vote for your favorite song. The song with the most votes wins. This is it Ledgies!

Poll closes in 4 days. Thanks for everybody voting and participating. :cool:

OH DEAR.

Silver Springs is going to win, you just know it.

But I'm gonna go with Storms, because (and I know we already had a huge debate about this) to me personally, I don't view Silver Springs and Secondhand News as non-hits.

The original SS, the non-Dance version?

I meant to vote Storms...

[MacShadowsBall]

Yes, voting according to the original version of Silver Springs.

[Artemis]

Voted for SS, the original version's my favourite anyhoo.

[johnnystorms]

i loooooooove it. but i also love SS. yet i feel like it was a "hit" since the video and song were ALL over radio, MTV and VH1 in '97

[tilthefirefades]

I'm still unsure why Silver Springs is even on this poll. It was arguably the biggest "hit" from The Dance. It introduced a new generation to Fleetwood Mac, and was a VH1 sensation. I may be a little miffed at the fact that Why has no chance, but still, this seems a little ridiculous.

What a brilliant collection of 4 songs. No wonder this is the greatest band ever!

Because these polls are based on non-hits, that we voted on per album. This poll reflects the winners. "Silver Springs" from The Dance was a hit. The original version that was left off Rumours, was the "B" side to the single GYOW, was not a hit. The original version is what is included in this poll.

I meant to vote Storms...

Yeah, even the original... aside from the cult status it's gotten due to the story of it, it's immense popularity,my mom knows it from the radio when she was a youngster (and this is someone who thought that Lindsey sung all of Christine's songs... ALL of them :laugh:)....

idk, I had to rationalize in some way not voting for it because it IS flawless. I just feel like it's the same as calling the White Album version of Landslide a 'non-hit.'

[McTrouble]

Second Hand News! :D

But I'll just bet Silver Springs wins it! :(

Thanks, CADreaming. You said it just the way I see it.

Now if we ever get around to doing a "Favorite Fleetwood Mac Live Performance" contest, obviously "Silver Springs" from the Dance would be included. Of course watch it not win that contest, even though everybody goes on and on about how great it is!! :laugh:

Anyway, please judge this poll according to the original Rumours B-Side version of Silver Springs. :cool:

it is a non-hit according to CAD-MSB rules. :laugh:

i'm with everybody who says Silver Spring and Second Hand News should have never been a part of the non-hits poll. but i was over-argued over and over again, so no need to start the same old argument again.;)

[CADreaming]

Tell it to the music industry Elle. A song can't be a hit if it's not released as a single. :xoxo:

[MacShadowsBall]

Why - I find it awesome that it has made it so far all the way to the finals and that it's Christine only song here...its like the "Little Engine That Could"

Second Hand News - one of my top favorite Lindsey songs; nice saucy lyrics!

Silver Springs - its okay; too sweet and bouncy sounding; not a favorite Stevie or Mac song

Storms - I fall in and out of love with this one all the time. Right now I love it!

What's your take on these songs? Suprised by any songs that lost along the way in the contest?

[jwd]

Second Hand News - It's tight, fun, sexy, and FM at its' best!!

[MacShadowsBall]

Looks like Second Hand News is making a run for the lead! Still got two days to vote in this final battle! :cool:

[Neal]

"Storms" :)

[bluefox4000]

I went with Silver Springs.:thumbsup:

[aleuzzi]

Yes, voting according to the original version of Silver Springs.

Too bad. The Dance version is 300X better.

I went with Why. I was playing a live version of it in the car the other day, alongside the band's more familiar hits, and a friend said, "Hey, what is this song? It's damn good! Reminds mean of Wean." He was right. Why has great chords and melody. It sounds good in every version I've heard.

[MacShadowsBall]

This final battle closes in 1 hour. Still got a chance to vote!!! :nod:

I voted for Why.

[MacShadowsBall]

Well it turned out to be a close race, but Silver Springs wins with 17 votes. Not really an overwelming majority, but it wins nonetheless. :cool:
