The 75 version still got a lot of radio play... I remember hearing it quite often growing up.

True. But it wasn't a "single" until 1997, and that was the live version.

Oh yeah, definitely not a single... But I thought we were rating "non-hits" and not singles?

I honestly don't know WTF is going on here.

This sums up my whole day!

I think everybody is trying to figure out what is a "hit" and what is a "non-hit".

I think we should remove any song that charted (and add back in any ones that didn't).

If it didn't chart, it wasn't a "hit," so to speak. Get my drift?

And I think an exception should be made for Landslide, due to it's glaring popularity and the fact that other versions of the song have charted...

agree with that, and this is what wikipedia page i posted earlier says about [other versions of] Landslide charting:

""Landslide" was eventually released as a single in the USA in 1998 after it became one of the most popular tracks from the live reunion album The Dance. It reached #51 on the Billboard Hot 100.[11] "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleetwood_Mac_(1975_album)

Well according to Fleetwood Mac's discography wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fleetwood_Mac_discography, the 3 songs(singles) that charted are Over My Head, Say You Love Me, and Rhiannon. So yeah we can remove those three and keep the rest.

I understand about Landslide being a hit 20 years later, but we start to enter a slippery-slope is we discredit more that just the charting songs as non-hits.

Also Lindsey only really had 3 charting hits so this contest would be extremely filled with Lindsey songs. Nevermind the headache Rumours will have as The Chain and Gold Dust Woman weren't charted "hits" while Dreams and Don't Stop were yet they are not much of anybody's favorites here.

~~~~I want everybody's opinions about this as I make a final decision tomorrow.

LOL, I was kinda referring to MacShadows comment (post 21) that we weren't really talking about singles, but rather non-hits.
