Not my favorite but I like it from the 5 albums.
 
Warm Ways
Songbird
What Makes You Think You’re The One
Oh Diane
You and I pt 2


I still really do like all 5 of these tracks….just not my favorites from these albums.

I like them too, actually WW is one of my favorites. But in the case of NTF, just the Mirage live version, and not listening but watching it with a glass of Merlot. It's a fun performance. I don't listen to the studio version often.

I love the instrumental part of the song. They are jamming their collective asses off.

WW isn't a favorite, but I actually love playing the keyboard parts on it, so PLAYING it has grown on me.

I actually really do “Like” the studio version of NTF but I’m definitely not a fan of the live versions at all.

To understand this thread correctly, this is one song from the 5 from the last 5 albums that is liked but not a favorite? In other words, its meh?

I'm So Afraid (but its killer live and a favorite if that makes sense)
I don't want to know
Tusk (ok shoot me) but I like it live
Book of Love (I hate Oh Diane but this is about songs being meh not hate)
Family Man

I understood it's about songs I do like, but are not in my top list. Meh would be a lack of interest or enthusiasm, so they make me indifferent. If that was the point, my list would be:

Crystal (yeah, shoot me too).
I do like and enjoy all Rumours songs.
Not that funny (again, I enjoy the Mirage live performance but the studio... ,meh)
Book of Love
Mystified

I agree with this list, EXCEPT for Book Of Love. Oh Diane can suck it.

I do it on a Rhodes sound, with tremolo. Imma tremolo addict.

Hmm. You’re making me think at 10 in the morning, Bly.

white: Blue Letter (rollicking is about the best I can say for it; Stevie’s and Lindsey’s harmonies elevate it greatly)
Rumours: Never (nice little ditty that didn’t take on any anguish until 1980 onstage)
Tusk: Beautiful Child (a little snoozy but heartfelt; done beautifully in 2003)
Live: Dreams (didn’t get interesting onstage until 1979–80–82, and then got dull as dishwater again in the late 80s; no fault of the song, which is Stevie’s masterpiece)
Mirage: Wish You (pretty, of course, but doesn’t have much of a personality in the production; seems unimaginative, as if the band ran out of ideas)
Tango: Caroline (interesting lyric but lots of clicking and clacking in the percussion that sounds like somebody’s poor brain at Six Flags; the repeating harmony vocal figure is probably the first time the band tried a Middle Eastern thing)
Mask: Affairs (she obviously had help from Rick or someone with the modulation, with the descending walking bass during the chorus, but mostly unimaginative work from Greg Ladanyi)
Time: Hollywood (not a great Chris hook; as forgettable as a traffic pattern in a parking lot)

I'm stuck in Indiana, fixing up a rental property for a couple of weeks. All I have is a guitar, and a POD with headphones.

Not That Grating
 
I'm going through a Not That Funny renaissance of late.
Never cared much for the album track, whereas now when I listen in the car I'm hearing more melody or dynamicism or rhythm or bass or something that I wasn't hearing before. Might be the immersive car speaker settings vs listening at home. The drums definitely pop more. Really digging it.

It used to be that if I was able to drop a Lindsey song from Tusk it would be Not That Funny, whereas currently I think it would be What Makes You Think You're The One.

(The notion of dropping a Lindsey song comes from him having more than his share on Tusk (at least by number of songs) and they had to cut down Sara for the CD, etc)
