AND (drumroll please).....may I PLEASE INCLUDE one Stevie Nicks solo song in this list?.....LADIES AND GENTLEMEN....the all time worst song EVER RECORDED by anyone associated with Fleetwood Mac is............"Jane" by Stevie Nicks......(children of the world, the forgotten chimpanzee)

I think they clearly had the wrong producer for BTM. Some of those songs would have been great with a different presentation. "Save Me", for instance, has good lyrics, a good melody, and a killer guitar solo. But they put in a bunch of annoying things NOT relevant to the song. They forgot the "less is more" mantra of Peter Green, and it sounds like it was a very corporate-driven album.

I'd add to your list:
Empire State
Ricky
Silver Girl
Family Man
