The only problem I can see with people saying SYW is too poppy and not very "Fleetwood Mac sounding" is that, I think if Christine were on the album and had written this song, it would be praised more. I mean, nothing's more repetitive than Hold Me. So to say Say You Will isn't Fleetwood Mac sounding isn't quite right to me, considering most reviewers always bring up the fact that they were pioneers of the "California pop sound." And, if Christine were on the album, we would have many more songs like this. I really like Say You Will and it's a great break from the heavy overtones the album has...but I do agree I wouldn't have chosen it as a single. I think FM needed a second single to wow the audience...like Everybody Finds Out. Something with more energy, and more of a build to it. Say You Will may not be very Stevie-like, but it's definitely got that California pop sound. Every time I listen to the opening I picture driving down the road through palm trees in a convertible, the CA sun shining down. In fact, this song reminds me kind of Soak up the Sun by Sheryl Crow. Just my opinions on the song.
