FINALS: Least Favorite Lindsey song

[ontheEdgeof17]

Teen Beat.

I can't believe Red Rover is even on here. It's magnificent.

I understand why Teen Beat "won," but it is so obviously an unfinished song the Mac threw out solely to have something "new" from their former member in a shamelessly mercenary move to attract buyers for their boxed set that it doesn't seem quite fair to put it next to the others.

On the the other hand, Lindsey apparently thought so highly of the dazzling "Family Man" that it was included on the VERY BEST OF FLEETWOOD MAC. What the hell??

Family Man's lyrics are staggeringly insipid. "I am what I am, am what I am, am what I am, am what I am... a FAMILY MAN!" In case you're too stupid to understand that profound statement, Lindsey clarifies: "Mother. Father. Brother. Mother. Father. Brother." Why, thank you, Lindsey. Let's not forget the insightful lyrics of the verses that boast such original phrases as "Don't know what's wrong, but I do know what's right" and such eloquent tributes to the human spirit as "I fall down. I get up."

If that inane song was truly one of their "very best" they would be one crappy group.

But that reminds me of Loving Cup and so that makes me feel kind of tender about the words. Trite or no.
