Default Fleetwood Mac's Best Produced Song

So what do you think is FM's best produced song?? (If it's also your favorite song, that's fine. But don't choose a song ONLY because its your favorite).

I think Fleetwood Mac's best produced song is Little Lies.

I'm no expert on producing music or actually what goes into it, but for the basics I think it involves arranging the song, mixing the song, making the song marektable plus some other things important things, I'm sure. (Anyone, who knows more - please provide your input!)

The reason I think Little Lies is pure production genius (kudos to Lindsey & Richard!) is because I think it is probably Fleetwood Mac's most unique song and even unique to the era in which it was released (1987).

First, the beginning of the song is great. What is that sound anyway? I'm sure it was some sound effect used by Lindsey but it almost sounds like violins or something. It immediately grabs the listener's attention (IMO, anyway) I can remember hearing this song in 1987 (and even though I never knew it was FM until I became a fan) I always remembered that song even though I was still a kid at the time.

Second, the background vocals. Having Stevie and Lindsey echo, "tell me lies" makes the song so much more interesting. Though they can blend their voices pretty well, I like how both Stevie and Lindsey sing separately, rather than as one. Much more effective! Plus, all the other background vocals like "close my, close my, close, my eyes" and "tell me, tell me, tell me lies" compliment Christine's voice perfectly.

Third, Christine's voice is perfect and though I think most of Christine's lyrics are pretty simple - I think this song is one of her best lyrically. Though Little Lies is not my favorite FM song or even my favorite Chris song, I still think it remains one of FMs greatest achievements.
