I love the music to Save Me. Chris's organ is hot. And YAY we get a guitar solo on a Fleetwood Mac song.

I am in the minority too because I love Skies The Limit. It seems people hate it for dumb reasons i.e. spelling or something. Those opening keyboard drops SCREAM Christine McVie. You can tell everything was written and thrown together rather quickly. The song does not break any new ground or claim to be one of their best songs. What it does demonstrate is the power of Chris. The album needed an upbeat Chris love song and she came up with it rather quickly. I love how the crack of the drum rolls and cracks in the beginning. Some great harmonies too. Its just so organic I cant help but not to like it. Many Mac songs on Tango were so overly polished and overdubbed to death. Skies The Limit is a basic song but IMHO that's the appeal to it. Just old fashioned playing with old fashioned back up singing. No drum machines. No complex bridge or melody either. I love it. I would still say Save Me is the better song though.

Bwboy is always fascinated with the charts. While Save Me bombed on US charts, it rocketed into Canada's top ten. Just another reason to love our neighbors to the north. However, as much as MTV dissed As Long As You Follow, they played the hell out of Save Me. It was a top 10 video of the week. Then they hit the ignore button again for Skies The Limit which I saw once on VH1.
