I really enjoy Tango In The Night, too. Little Lies was the song that caught me by surprise when I heard it on the radio and made me revisit Fleetwood Mac, the combination of Christine's ethereal pop voice and Stevie's powerful backing vocals, which speak to how strong and iconic her voice is even when used minimally. But that song hasn't been performed live in over 20 years.

But when ranking the most iconic Fleetwood Mac songs, I think that Rolling Stone Magazine got it right with their recent poll, which probably captures the most iconic Mac songs and not 'the 10 best' songs. Stevie's songs dominate here, since it is her persona that continues to dominate over the other songwriters:


1. Landslide

2. The Chain

3. Go Your Own Way

4. Rhiannon

5. Dreams

6. Gold Dust Woman

7. Oh Well/Albatross

8. Gypsy

9. Sara

10. Don't Stop



***Edit: If Rumours-era only, replace Oh Well/Albatross with Say You Love Me and move to last place. You Make Loving Fun is the better song, but Say You Love Me is definitely more iconic.
***Tango in the Night songs don't make the cut, since I don't think they are as iconic as these, really pervading pop culture. Remember, this isn't about best songs but most iconic. Again, Stevie was really the person who most facilitated that. Tango songs aren't performed besides Big Love, and there really is no call by fans demanding for them, saying aw shucks I want Little Lies.
***I think Tusk is probably too divisive and I wouldn't rank it over any of these.
