I really like Love Is Dangerous. It just sounds like a song they had fun recording... you can almost hear them smile as they're singing. Besides that, I think Rick and Stevie really did make a terrific team. Rick's bluesy style mixes with Stevie's witchy/ethereal persona surprisingly well. I think they harmonize together very naturally, too. Especially when I hear songs like "Intuition," it makes me wonder what Rick and Stevie could have accomplished together given more time and perhaps a different framework.

It's always been so interesting to me that Rick came as a packaged deal with Billy, because IMHO, they just aren't great together. I hear songs like When The Sun Goes Down, and just think it's super cheesy. To me, Rick is better than corny Rockabilly. I don't know, maybe it's that Rick was better at adapting himself into the Fleetwood Mac framework, and Billy just didn't compromise who he was. I'm rambling outloud here, I guess I'll stop now.
