7: Say You Will - The only Fleetwood Mac song with a mini children's choir. If this was recorded five years prior when Nicks sounded less nasally, it's possible that I wouldn't put this song at the bottom of the list. It's not a completely irredeemable song; the chorus is admittedly catchy and the production is serviceable.
6: Bare Trees - A tad too repetitive, but the guitar playing is top notch.
5: Future Games - I would be hard pressed to recall any lyrics from this song other than the words "future games", but the dreamy quality of the instrumentation is the primary attraction here.
4: Behind the Mask - Lindsey's acoustic guitar solo is the highlight of the song. The remainder of it possesses an atmospheric sonic environment that I enjoy.
3: Tusk - This used to be one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs, but overexposure has resulted in it sliding down a bit. I prefer the August 1979 mix, which features more prominent horns.
2: Heroes Are Hard to Find - I'm disappointed that this didn't take off as a single. The song is absolutely infectious and I love the horn arrangement.
1: Tango in the Night - The verses have a very ambient quality that I very much appreciate. The guitar solo at the end heavily resembles "I'm So Afraid", which is another song that I'm very fond of.
