ok people - if Second Hand News and Gold Dust Woman are not hits, how come they are still regularly played on many classic rock stations? and how come LB and SN cannot get around performing them live whenever they do a full concert, whether solo or with mac - and always get a rousing reception reserved for hits?! and how come both songs were covered by some other big acts (Love, Kid Rock, etc)?!

EDIT: and, don't get me wrong - i love both of these songs - they are easy in my top 5 mac songs ever.

I'm just not sure on this one... I think I've heard every single song on Rumours on the radio at some point or another.

yup! to reiterate my same thoughts from the beginning of the thread - probably the whole album should be excluded from any non-hits poll.

I don't consider I Don't Want To Know and Oh Daddy 'hits'.... but all the rest of them I do to some extent.

Definitely eliminate the four singles. Then, the question in my mind is whether to include The Chain and GDW. They're both pretty famous, so I'm going to have to think about it. I would include all the other tracks in the poll, even though every Rumours track is pretty well known.

I agree. There is nothing to figure out. The entire album in its entirety is a "Hit" so to speak. With all respect, this thread subject is really stretching the limits of logical discourse.
