Favorite Fleetwood Mac Non-Hit Contest Thread
 

I figured we needed a consistent thread for the results and discussions about the contest. I'll update this post/thread over the next several months, adding winners as we move along in this contest. Any questions, comments you have post them here! :cool:

So far here is what we have...

Pre-Rumours Era

'68 Fleetwood Mac
Winner: I Loved Another Woman
Runner-up: The World Keep on Turning

Rumours Era

'75 Fleetwood Mac
Winner: Crystal
Runners-up: Monday Morning and World Turning

Rumours
Winner: Second Hand News
Runners-up: Never Going Back Again and I Don't Want to Know

The runners-up song will move on in some fashion, perhaps a poll with all of them? :shrug:

So what songs are you guys hoping when this contest? I'm rooting for World Turning, Straight Back, and Isn't It Midnight. :cool:

We got two polls running for Tusk here on the Rumours forum. Looks like Stevie and Lindsey are doing quite well.

Also check out the Mr. Wonderful album poll on the Pre-Rumours forum. :cool:

Beautiful Child, Storms, and Sisters of the Moon are the top winners for Stevie's Tusk songs. The Ledge, What Makes You Think You're the One, and I Know I'm Not Wrong are Lindsey's Tusk top winners. These 6 songs start competing tomorrow for favorite non-hit from Tusk.

Also on the Pre-Rumours forum, the poll for favorite non-hit from English Rose and Pious Bird of Good Omen has been posted. :cool:

...What other Stevie and Christine FM songs do you think could be considered non-hits and be in the contest? Remember we're looking for songs that weren't already in the contest and aren't on the Time or Say You Will albums. :cool:

Would "As Long As You Follow" be considered a hit? :shrug:

Runners-up:

Should "As Long As You Follow" count as a hit? I'm thinking no since it only charted at #43 on the hot 100, even though it did hit #1 on the AC charts...:shrug:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_Long_as_You_Follow

WWDD?(What would Dee do?)

Who is "Dee"? :confused:

CADreaming :wavey:

Oh, I gotcha. We'll wait then for her response. :cool:

Are there any songs from Say You Will that we want to consider as "hits"? I know Say You Will and Peacekeeper were the singles. :shrug:

Mmmm let me see let me see...I could count What's the world coming too, Murrow, Red Rover and Say Goodbye, following what I've seen on the DVD and playlists of the Say You Will tour. But well, I really don't know...
Regards!

i definitely heard Peacekeeper on the radio at the time.

LOL!! :laugh:

I usually go by if it charted in the top 40 of any chart as a basis.

"Peacekeeper" - #10 AC (US), #16 Adult Top 40 (US), #31 Top 40 (NZ)
"Say You Will" - #17 AC (US), #21 Adult Top 40 (US)

Those would be the only "hits" from the album SYW.

Despite listening to the radio only rarely, I overheard both of these on the radio here in Germany. Not recently, though.

Yeah I had no idea that Peacekeeper and Say You Will charted that high. They charted higher than a few hits from earlier!

I'm working on how to condense these songs down and begin part 2 of the contest. Any suggestions? :wavey:

Massive Update!
 

I haven't done a decent update in a while, so here it is. The SYW finals is the only poll left open. Part 2 of the contest begins Friday. I'm thinking of doing Part 2 tournament style. Any suggestions or if you wish to help, please PM me. Also we will be having a few rounds to determine the "ultimate runner-up" song.
