Default What Fleetwood Mac songs are softsational??

Right now I'm watching the 40 most softsational rock songs at VH1
here is the list:
http://stereogum.com/archives/****-l...gs_005507.html

and there is no Fleetwood Mac song. I wonder what songs could have been there. Maybe Dreams? It's a soft rock melody, though the Rumours lyrics are full of conflict and a bit far from sweet romanticism (maybe except for Songbird).

According to VH1 these songs were titans of tenderness... the sultans of sensitivity... the monsters of mellow, I guess FM songs does not fit there, or some song does?

What I realize also is that singers were more romantic during 70s and 80s. Silly sweet lyrics were easy to become hits.

By the way, the "commentary from an award-winning, non-threatening panel of celebrities, comedians, journalists and soft rock experts" is really funny.

Fleetwood Mac helped me through a time of heartbreak. 12 years later, they broke my heart.

They have plenty of songs that qualify, but frankly I don't want to publicize that fact. They already get ridiculed so much for being soft, pop that I don't want to contribute to that image. So, I'm relieved they weren't included. It's certainly part of who they are, but only a part. The general perception of them is so lopsided. Michele

If "Warm Ways" was released as a single and was even moderately successful, it would be on that list.
