I've got no issue with 'Only Over You' or 'Can't Go Back' either. They aren't up there with 'Gypsy' (few songs on 'Mirage' are, really) but they are certainly amongst the better tunes on the album. 'Can't Go Back' feels more authentically 'Lindsey' than the 1950s experiments on 'Book Of Love' and 'Oh Diane'. It sounds to my ears like a glossier, more accessible take on his 'Tusk' material.
I'm also surprised that 'You And I, Part II' is on the list, which means more people are downloading 'Welcome To The Room... Sara', 'Mystified' and 'When I See You Again' which are the weaker songs on 'Tango' for me. I've always liked the jungle rhythms of 'You And I, Part II' and it's a fittingly upbeat ending to an album that is propelled largely by the peppy production. It also evokes a place for me that is similar to the album cover, so whilst it might not be as strong as 'Big Love' it's not offensive enough to end up in my bottom 5 for the Buckingham/Nicks era.
