Dangit! I'm starting to think I don't make myself clear enough when I write! *lol*
I wasn't meaning to imply that a song HAD to have a chorus, or that if it didn't have one, it's no good.
I'm just thinking in terms of what tends to stand out to people, and in terms of which songs Fleetwood Mac has had the biggest hits with. And with a few exceptions, FM's biggest hits have always had strong, catchy choruses.
Something you're gonna turn up as you're driving in your car, and will be singing to yourself hours later.
"Peacekeeper" definitely has a terrific chorus, and I love it... it just seems to me that the chorus to "Thrown Down" is the one that becomes a bit more ingrained in your subconscious.
I'm also going by what I *assume* people are going to want to hear on the radio from Fleetwood Mac, after all these years of them being away... and I'm thinking they'll want something that is instantly recognizable as
Fleetwood Mac, and again, I think "Thrown Down" fits that niche a little better than "Peacekeeper."
But that... as always... is just my very humble opinion.
As for any biases... quite frankly, I'd be so happy to hear a new Fleetwood Mac song playing on the radio right now, I wouldn't care if *John* was singing the lead.
