Mirage: Favorite Non-Hits

[AliceLover]

BLECH! I can't believe how many votes there are for 'That's Alright' and 'Straight Back.' Those two can go in the 'Street Angel' bucket for me. Lindseys songs on this album are highly underrated. I have huge admiration for 'Eyes of the World,' Can't Go Back,' and 'Book of Love.'

I can't believe Straight Back has almost twice as many votes as Eyes Of The World!

I think I'm the only person who's not entirely crazy about Can't Go Back.

I don't remember if I posted what my votes were... I went for Eyes and Wish You Were Here.

I do love almost all of Mirage though.

Stevie's songs are doing really well in this contest. However, her downfall is coming up in a week or so, Tango in the Night.

you know better than that! if there's at least one SN song in the poll, however crappy it may be, it will win!

We could declare When I See You Again and Welcome to the Room, Sara as "hits" then they wouldn't be in the poll.

I'm really rooting for Christine for TITN, esp Isn't It Midnight.

You don't have to worry -- those two songs always get slaughtered, come voting time. "When I See You Again" is actually one of my all-time favorite songs, and I know it has a snowball's chance in hell of ever making it past round one (or, as Sheldon Cooper says, "a Snowball's chance in a CAT scanner"), but it's still always fun to watch how the voting plays out.

if it's only SN song in the poll, i wouldn't bet on it not winning - and i would be pleasantly surprised if it doesn't happen.

again, look at the overall breakout of the voters:

Christine McVie 18
Lindsey Buckingham 26
Stevie Nicks 64

in this current poll, you have one stellar/fun song (EOTW), one song that many FM fans seem to claim is great (BOL), one highly hated song (OD), one song that SN fans seem to love a lot (That's Alright), and then the rest of the songs should probably get about equal split (yeah i'm biased but still c'mon)... and which two songs are in overwhelming lead?

EDIT: that said, people are supposed to vote for their favorite songs, and if they strongly prefer one of the songwriters, it makes sense that they are voting for that person's songs.

The ironic thing is, people who are primarily Stevie fans are far more likely to vote for one of Lindsey's or Christine's songs in these polls, than CM fans & LB fans are to vote for a Stevie song (take a glance at who chose what, in the above results).

I guess the cream just always rises to the top. (Sorry, I couldn't resist teasing after the "however crappy" zing. )
