On with the next song, please?

[~*BellaDonna*~]

I was listening to Rumours yesterday straight through, not skiping a single track. However, once it reached Don't Stop... I was kind of like "Oh God, not that again!" For some unknown reason to me l simply just can NOT take hearing it anymore. Which is odd to me because it used to be one of my favorite songs on Rumours.
Has this ever happened to you?

I have started skipping all my FM stuff lately, sadly. 13 years of nothing new will do that to you. And I have sickened of living in the '70's.

I understand. 13 years of nothing new and hearing the "classics" over and over can get pretty tiresome. I hope you aren't becoming a former fan though!

***EDIT*** Thank you for reminding me of the EP, elle.

The only song I skip on Rumours is the same song I've been skipping since I first started listening to the album in 1977: "Never Going Back Again." Never really liked it, though I know the studio version of it is excellent.

Don't Stop. I loved it love it love it for years. Then I stopped loving it. Now I love it all over again. But I've only ever loved the album version. Live the song never captures that magical spirit.

wait wait.... 13 years?? was 2013 13 years ago? that was when last new FM music came out.

some people may have not liked the EP, but pretending that it never came out is kinda silly.

Agreed, I can't stand Don't Stop its so cheesy and the fact it was involved in a political aspect makes it worse

I prefer band's to be apolitical.

Fleetwood Mac is not really political. In 1995 Christine McVie went on the record in her online chat interview (gosh remember when online chat was something) and stated she would have never voted for Bill Clinton. But she was honored that a president would use her music. That is a class act! How many artists today would say the same thing. I remember in 2008 when they played Heart's Barracuda at the GOP convention (Sarah Palin was called Barracuda by her college basketball team) and Heart instantly told them to never play that song again.
When Hillary Clinton invited Fleetwood Mac to the White House in 2000 to perform, Christine McVie declined but the band still went on to play Don't Stop.

Their song was played in a political campaign but I don't make that leap Fleetwood Mac is political. They did get involved in the 1980 Senate campaign of Birch Bayh but that was because the senator helped the Mac on something.

As for the song Don't Stop. Its incredible. Its a terrific piano shuffle that was taken to another level with Lindsey. Still to this day, I turn it up on the radio. That song has helped me emotionally through many different hard parts of my life.

The songs I would skip on a FM album? Caroline and Welcome to the room Sara. And Hard Feelings from Behind the Mask LMAO

If for no other reason, the EP was decent because Sad Angel is really bloody brilliant. Indeed, it's one of Lindsey's best ever FM songs. It's a shame it's burried on the EP. I hope it will get a new lease of life one day on another release.

I'll skip Storms. I just find it kinda boring.

Sad Angel and Miss Fantasy were definite highlights of that EP and deserve to have Christine added in and placed on a new album.
