Very smart thinking, elle, about youtube hits/counts!
Intriguing converstation about what are Fleetwood Mac's most iconic songs. For me its about the story and message behind the song that makes a song iconic. Also the instant recogination a song brings about to the average music listener. Songs that are still played on radio also add to a songs iconic status, meaning it passed the test of time.
Three songs that definitely are deemed iconic are Don't Stop, Go Your Own Way, and Dreams. Very popular hit songs, each possessing their own story of how they came to be and the message behind the songs, also representing Christine, Lindsey, and Stevie.
After those three, it can be a great number of songs...
Albatross - Mac's only #1 hit in the UK
Black Magic Woman - Santana, anybody!
Oh Well - #2 hit in the UK, oldest Mac song still performed today
Sentimental Lady - solo version big hit for Bob Welch
Hypnotized - perhaps Bob Welch's most iconic, memorable song
Over Me Head - their first US top 40 hit, #20
Rhiannon - story behind the song, set up Stevie's "witchy" persona
Say You Love Me - top selling single, helped to send the new Mac into stardom
Landslide - Budweiser, anybody!
Songbird - sad, simple just Christine's iconic voice and piano
The Chain - how the song came to be, representing Mac's most iconic album
Silver Springs - dropped from Rumours, epic/iconic 1997 performance
Gold Dust Woman - added to Stevie's persona, covered by other artists
You Make Loving Fun - top 10 hit, incredible beat, still sounds fresh today
