I even like 'Silver Girl', it has a great chorus.

My issue with SYW isn't the songs. I think most of the songs on that album are great. But it's not a Fleetwood Mac album. Heck, it's not really even a Buckingham Nicks album. It's just a Lindsey solo album and a Stevie album shoved together, that happen to have members of Fleetwood Mac playing on it.
Fleetwood Mac is never about 1 person, it's about the whole group working together, right from the start. If I want to listen to solo stuff, I'll go listen to it. So when the band sounds fragmented and seperated, that's where they fall down IMO.
Tango suffers the same fate. Some great songs, but I've never found it works particularly well as an album/group effort. Whereas BTM sounds very much like a team working together.
Back to the point - my 3 on this list would have to be Paper Doll, That's Enough For Me and The Second Time. All 3 seem to get a fair amount of dislike, but I love all 3.
