The "Fleetwood Mac" Songs [Part One] - Round Three
 

Here is what you voted out so far:

Round One: I Don't Want To Know
Round One: Angel
Round Two: Landslide
Round Two: Dreams


Onto round three...vote for two more tracks to be kicked off...

I can't believe Dreams got voted off so quickly D: Landslide I can attribute to over-exposure as of late... but I'm shocked!

I voted SOTM and Rhiannon. Love the songs, but they're much better live than they are on in the studio imo.

Dreams? Really?

Rhiannon (again) and Silver Springs. The studio versions of both songs are inferior to the ones on The Dance.

Sara and Storms to go

Sara and Storms, I always really liked the studio version of silver springs, and the rest just stood out too much for me, the next round looks set to be a tough choice for me :)

"Sisters of the Moon" and "Silver Springs" - and I'm one of the few who thinks that SS is as good in the studio as on The Dance. It was a tough choice. The verses in SS aren't as strong lyrically as the others on the list, but again, it was close.

Sisters Of The Moon and Sara. This was a really hard choice, but, I think Sisters is far more potent live, and Storms has a really beautiful vocal, so it beats out Sara. Silver Springs and Rhiannon are both songs that I adore the studio versions of, and Gold Dust Woman is my favourite song... ever.

I'm surprised SOTM is getting so many votes, but I guess out of these, how do u choose? My least faves are probably GDW and Storms.

"Dreams" is one of the most perfect songs ever recorded and "Landslide" is as classic as they get. "Storms" is better than these two? Only on "The Ledge".

People voted for Dreams and Landslide probably because they hear them so much, so therefore they can't be good songs, etc. No, but I voted for Storms and Sisters of the Moon here without looking at what songs were voted for the most here, thinking that everyone would have kept these two, but I was surprised to be in the majority! While they are great songs, they don't hold my interest or do as much for me as the other ones shown.

Sisters and Sara. This is crazy difficult.

uhhhhhhhh
 

why is Beautiful Child gone??

Who is voting out Sara! It's my favourite of all her songs :(

Beautiful Child will be included in round two.

People who are obsessed with freekin gold dust woman ... as if we haven't heard enough of THAT. I'm tired of it. And we have it professionally recorded several times. Hbo live, tango in the night dvd, the dance, cheryl crow and friends, bob welch and friends, live in boston dvd and cd, live in chicago and now hard rock calling. Enough already. I still firmly believe that if this was out of the set thats sisters of the moon could return. The recorded version of dreams on the album is georgeous, but people have voted it off because they are sick of hearing it live. I present that same argument to gold dust woman. Because most people love it because the live versions are amazing. The album track is cool but she really sells it live. I'm just tired of it. The dance and sound stage were fantastic, but now that it's been filmed in recorded to perfection put it away. And let's make room for something else. If sisters of the moon was given the full blown gold dust woman witchy treatment then it would be amazing and people wouldnt NEED the agabugadagidja drownen gidajagighadsvea weird scream
thing that she did on some of the mirage tour shows

Ditto and ditto.

Voted Sisters of the Moon and Rhiannon. Shocked Dreams is already gone :distress:

Wtf. How Is Dreams Gone?!
:'(

These "survivor" polls are started to become boring to me, since I'm basically voting the same couple of songs off every round. :(

Me too!! It's SOOO beautiful and perfect, I could listen to it literally for the rest of my life and never get sick of it.

GDW, SS, and R are generally considered her definitive songs (along with Gypsy), so that Sara will be number 4 is impressive. And, in many ways, I'd say it is the fulfillment of her muse--the Stevie epic song combined with the Lindsey/Mac magic.

I think that "Landslide" & "Edge" & even "Leather and Lace" make that list before "Silver Springs", if by "generally considered" you mean the general public.
I do agree about "Sara". It took me years to appreciate what a masterpiece it is. The production is brilliant.

- Jake

I have to disagree with you there. GDW is the only one of her songs that has always sounded good every time she attempts it (even back in the Klonopin haze), plus it tends to sound different from tour to tour to a greater extent than "Landslide" or "Dreams". And unlike other staples like "Stand Back", it does not suffer when she refuses to move those feet. I am fine with her adding SOTM, but I do not want to see GDW go.

- Jake

IA. "Gold Dust Woman" is simply iconic, and has become an anthem on stage. That's why it has endured like some great myth or ancient queen. I also agree w/ darklinensuit, in that it has evolved on stage throughout its existence & is more powerful and meaty with time.
SOTM is more like GDW's back-alley step-sister, potent in her own subversive way, but worshipped by precious few. SOTM is a great song, much like GDW it is better live then on record, but it simply is the subordinate composition. imo of course :)
