Tough to rank songs on a perfect album...
Since the reissues, I think we can safely now say that Silver Springs made the "final cut"
12- Oh Daddy: only because they decided not to use Stevie's absolutely beautiful backing vocals, takes the song into the stratosphere and would have been great on the original, cutting those out, puts the song in last spot for me.
11- Never Going Back Again- great acoustic guitar but as above, when we heard it as a duet, what were they thinking in cutting out Stevie's part-Sheesh already!
10- Second Hand News- great song, but would have benefited from some sort of "bridge"
9- Don't Stop- Not much I would change about it, but hearing Get Like You Used to be it's not hard to find the song's origins. Perhaps not as original as we once thought.
8- Songbird- Great song and who growing up with Rumours wouldn't be moved by it, as a concert staple though, Christine has much better tunes such as Why, and Come a Little Bit Closer.
7- Go Your Own Way- Easily Lindsey's best song by a mile, pure pop perfection
6- You Make Loving Fun- As above, Christine's best pop tune, behind her best tune Over and Over.
5- I Dont Want to Know- Always puzzled why this was not released as the 5th Single, wonderful song, and one of Stevie's best ever structured songs.
4- The Chain- Nothing to change on this song, among the best ever Rock songs on the planet.
3- Dreams- Beautiful vocal and arrangement, never liked it as much live, early days seemed rushed and song looses its allure sans high notes.
2- Gold Dust Woman- Pure welch-witch ear candy- the one song that Stevie has pushed herself with and made a pure delight after all these years, however the song in the studio cannot be matched. Stevie's true moment as a classic rock artist.
1- Silver Springs- Number one with a bullet. The biggest hit Fleetwood Mac never had, the best vocal moment of Stevie's career, her best composition, the best in capturing "Rumours" I could go on and on.... If it wasn't to be on the album, it most certainly should've been a single. Wow, what an amazing song. I'll leave it at that
