You And I. But Which Part?

[Silver Springs]

Something has always bugged me about one of my favourite Fleetwood Mac albums. The sheer fact that Part 1 of You And I never made it onto the original lineup defies all logic to me. But is it just me being picky? Or is it just a bit superior to Part 2 in quality and mood?

Which is your favourite?

Can't choose. Part 1 does fit the mood of the album better then 2......but hell I love part 2. Hard choice. I made my own Tango with both parts on

Part 1 all the way. It's weird though, Part 2 actually sounds like it should be part 1, & vice versa.

Well, like bluefox4000 said, it's hard to choose. But I prefer Part I. Maybe because is rare, unusual, for its sound, the "game" with the voices...I can't explain, is just Wonderful!!! I heard first the Part II, and after this, I looked for Part I, and when I heard it...wow, just amazing! I always listen them together!
So, for me, Part I. Regards!

They both suck. I refuse to choose.

They are both nice songs. I went with Part 1 because I like the beat of the song better.

I chose Part 2. I always felt it was perfect as the last track of the album. The sound (just the music, not the lyrics) makes me feel like Lindsey's farewell song to the band. The volume gets lower at the end, like he is going away...

Totally agree! As I agree with all who said that Part I could be at the start of the TITN. Regards!

That's a tough one!!
I mean I always liked Big Love as the opening song. In fact from many of the FM albums, I thought this time they did match it! Never thought of YAI Part I as the opening song, but yes it's a good one too. More like a Tusk opening song style I guess, but cool anyway.

However I think Big Love was a better choose in terms of the 80s sound.

I hated Part 2 for a really long time. In my opinion, it was the worst Fleetwood Mac song right after "Oh Diane".
However, my partner loved it. The song lifted his spirits and made him happy every time he heard it...
And - though it took me months (at least) - someplace, somehow I made the strange discovery that I had fallen in love with it too, after all this time.

so I prefer it over Part 1, though it is really beautiful, too.
