I don't mean to pour cold water on this thing, but it does seem kinda pointless. The "least favourite" Mac song is hardly going to be anything by Stevie, Lindsey or Chris, because they have too many fans here, and dare I say it, fans who are more likely to criticise certain songs for no valid musical reason. So you'll have people voting down a pre-Rumours song or a Bekka Bramlett song in favour of a Stevie song, even though they might never even have heard it We know that half the people on this board never bother with anything pre-1975, let alone album tracks from 1968.

You can only take a critical look at something if you create a level playing field, which is impossible here at least.

In any case, "Hellhound on My Trail" isn't even Jeremy's song... he just sang it.

It's not a case of "pre-Rumours guys can do no wrong therefore I'm not playing your silly game" - none of the members are perfect and they all wrote some songs that weren't as good as others. I'm not someone who has a bias against any member, and I (hopefully) have a rational view of the talents of my favourite members. I have all the albums and like all the members. I just think that you'll only get a skewed result on a board like this, where some members have far more fans than others. We already know that "When You Say" will be the "worst" Danny Kirwan song, and it'll probably be the worst pre-1970 song - other polls have said it before. It'll be there at the end with "I'm a Roadrunner", one of the Dave Mason songs and whichever Bekka Bramlett song people hate the most
