100%. When you think about how many amazing, more radio friendly songs were on Rumours, there's no way Silver Springs would have had the kind of impact it did later on as part of The Dance. I'm sure it was disappointing that Silver Springs didn't make Rumours, but I can't see a midtempo song like SS outperforming any of the Rumours singles -- i.e. GYOW, YMLF, Dreams, or Don't Stop.
And I don't even think Stevie would have wanted SS to be on Tusk. She would have complained that it got stuck on an album that didn't sell. She wanted it for Timespace because she knew a greatest hits album would sell a lot and make a lot of money.
