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.

For me, Gold Dust Woman is more of a hit that Second Hand News, though besides GYOW and Dreams, they represent Lindsey and Stevie still to this day...They have staying power, if you will.

That's kinda what I'm thinking, too.

Here's the deal about The Chain and Gold Dust Woman - they both did extremely well in the 2010 favorite song contest. The Chain won the whole freakin' contest, while Gold Dust Woman was voted the #2 favorite Stevie song, with Gypsy #1 and Silver Springs #3. So if either The Chain/GDW are in this contest, they "should" do quite well possible making it to the end.

I mean, I just figure, if my mom (who is not a fleetwood mac fan) recognizes a song and starts singing along with it... then we can consider that a hit.

And I have witnessed her do that with all of the Rumours songs except for Oh Daddy, I Don't Want To Know and Songbird. But I think Songbird has def become an iconic Chris song and can therefore be considered a hit..
