So removing the hits, rate the other songs on a scale of 1-10[/B]

interesting way of doing it. just wondering, so your definition of "hits" is what people here voted as the biggest hit of the album? sounds a lot like "deep cuts" from the other thread (calling "Hold me" a deep cut) .

just for a reference, here is wikipedia page that also lists white album hits - including Over My Head and Landslide (possibly the biggest FM and SN hit) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleetwood_Mac_(1975_album). while i respect this is your poll and you are putting a lot of thought into it and can do whatever you want (and people can choose not to play if they don't like it), i'm thinking that when people voted for the poll of non-hits, they didn't have Landslide in mind!

Sticky situation, eh. There is an issue of what constitutes a "hit". Three singles were released from this album, Over My Head, Say You Love Me, and Rhiannon. One could argue that those were the "hits". The songs that would be hits are the songs that would be released as singles, unless the song became heavly featured on their live shows, a la I'm So Afraid and yes Landslide.

Removing the one song per vocalist per album that won back in 2010 is a more consistent way to run this contest. If we remove Over My Head and Landslide from the non-hits contest, we would need to add Monday Morning since it was not a hit. Now the songs are out of balance.

Perhaps a "deep cuts" contest would have been better, removing all singles and all songs performed live. However I don't think many songs would be left!
