I now love the "range" of her voice on OOY.

God, I miss her.
I miss her too. But that song is unlistenable.

I never really liked it until I heard As Long As You Follow. The outros helped me understand the feel and sentiment. I love both tunes now.

But at one point I felt it was un-listenable as well.

I've always loved Only Over You. In some strange way, I consider it a counterpart to Over My Head. I guess because of the words, not the music.

The songs I find unlistenable are Warm Ways and Brown Eyes.

I've always felt that way about Warm Ways. The production sounds more dated, than anything off the White Album. Those tom tom fills = CHEESE sandwich.

It is looking like Gypsy, Hold Me, and Love in Store will count as hits.

Still undecided about "Oh Diane" as evidenced by the votes. It was a Top 10 hit in the UK, but it wasn't a hit in the US. Songs don't really have a chance of being a hit if they are not released as a single.

Oh Diane was released as a single in the US. I read that it did not chart and also that it went to #35...

Here's the wiki article...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oh_Diane

Kinda strange but it seems that Oh Diane was a bigger hit in the UK than Gypsy was in the U.S.

Well it is wikipedia, but what else is a good source for music?

Here's the link to the article here on the Penguin. Under "Comments" it just mentions the #9 spot on the UK charts.

http://discog.fleetwoodmac.net/songs...184&perfid=380

I've always wondered what the reasoning is in releasing different singles in other countries. Love in Store was released in the US at the same time Oh Diane was in the UK.
