"Rhiannon" and "Landslide" are just both so evergreen; we're voting for the best song on an album that is a piece of pop perfection. At least half of the songs on Fleetwood Mac deserve to win. 
My vote goes for "Landslide." On Friday, I realized it is universal unlike any other song I've heard...My father, a 50 year old man, was singing along; a (lesbian?) couple seated behind us held hands and gently swayed; a trio of young gay men sighed in contentment as the opening chords began. My father even thought it the best performance of the night!
Listening to "Landslide"...Stevie Nicks singing each time with wisdom and conviction...Makes me believe that the song is peerless.  |
That's a great point. The lyrics are impeccable too. But as I watch her scrying out mrawlingly rhiannon in Japan, 77, I can't help but be swayed by the strange and bizarre passion. Which landslide really has none of. So, strange and bizarre passion wins over good lyrics and timeless, universal soft song.
I'm so predictable...
