Had to think pretty hard about this one i don't actually dislike any of them but probably listen to Mystified least. I would've gone for WISYA but Lindsey's ending totally redeems it for me and i love Family Man!

Family Man......very easy vote.

Family Man... it's just silly. Especially considering he was anything but a family man when he wrote & recorded the song LOL.

Well, he was a brother when he wrote it. Furthermore, I think he may have viewed his position in FM as familial in a sense. I think:

FM = Family Man
FM = Fleetwood Mac

John certainly has described the group as brothers and sisters. And Lindsey has said that he has been through things with FM members that he hasn't been through with his own family members.

I do think it's interesting that in the song he's talking about a family, a group of people, yet he says "I fall down. I get up" in Family Man, whereas he says "we fall down, we get up" in Loving Cup.

Still, I think both songs are about navigating a difficult relationship and having it endure through the travails. And I like the fact that they share a lyric. Sadly, he found himself unable to get back up as a member of Fleetwood Mac.

I appreciate the message in the lyrics, but not their simplicity and juvenile repetition.

Easy one for me - WISYA.

I am totally dismayed by the way this is going so far :distress:

Family Man.

It's the only song on Tango that I don't care for.

I feel he wrote it meaning the family he grew up in.....mother, father, brother.....no sister, because he had none.

At least WISYA is fun to sing along with and mock out.

There is nothing fun about singing Family Man. Therefore, go.

I think it's actually more fun to sing Family Man than to hear it.
