And, When I See You Again is one of my favorites! That song breaks my heart every single time!!

I agree .Whats with all the negativity with these "WORST_Fill in the blank______ Mac Song" threads lately.

Wheres the love for our favorite band.

When I See You Again. It's just painful to my ears. I actually like Affairs of the Heart and No Questions Asked. I wonder what Lindsey's magic might have done to those to improve them.

You know, after the first section I dont think its too bad a song;

One set of doors was the colour of honey
One set of doors was pink and grey

That's just really shocking colour matching- pink, grey and honey. Yuck. Every time I listen to that song I get fixated on that colour scheme and think she's actually got no flair for interior design whatsoever. I lose interest in the rest of the song after that.

One set of doors was the colour of winter wheat
One set of doors was beige and beige

I actually had fun roaming the Pantone site trying possible colors combinations for this three colors. The one I like the best for now it's this:

Well now, when you put it like that...not too bad at all. Maybe she was on to something- might look good in my dining room. I see this song in a completely different light. It's genius.

Ah ah ah, if you're interested, the colors are "honey gold" "warm grey 1" and "vintage rose"

Tie between When I See You Again and The Second Time.

Agreed - more love! I am new to posting here - so am wondering - where would I find the thread to post a fond memory of hearing my first Fleetwood Mac song? and all the beautiful first listens after?

It's interesting to me that most of the songs picked in this thread really just have horrible music or production. As a writer, Stevie is consistently great.

I'm not a fan of the way Paper Doll, Welcome To The Room Sara, or Goodbye Baby turned out, but all three could have been great songs.

Honestly I'm a fan of WTTRS and Paper Doll (also WISYA, contrary to many people I love the "whatsamattah baby"s), but to each their own.

I love the demo for Goodbye Baby (The Tower from 1976) a lot more than the version on Say You Will. The off-beat metronome thing ruins it for me.

I don't really like Everybody Finds Out, its not specific things, just the song in general.

Just like with Rock a Little, Tango in the Night was a wasted opportunity on Stevie's part. At the time she didn't really have a choice to be there/not to be there, and the band should have understood to some extent. However, during this time I think Stevie was extremely insecure and susceptible to other people's opinions (i.e. why RAL turned out too commercial) and, coupled with the introduction of Klonopin, probably was a nightmare to deal with musically. I do think Joan of Arc could have been the saving grace for Tango, imho.

What Has Rock and Roll Ever Done For You? I think would have been slightly distasteful considering she had just come out of rehab... Other than that it could have been a big hit.

Tom says in his bio that he would say to her why are you being influenced by all these twits who are focused on getting you hit singles??? He said he was very direct and "probably an asshole" and she would get majorly mad when he would call her a "pop star" (and he didn't mean it as a compliment). He told her she needed to be reminded of "what she's capable of" and not making "synthesizer rock". I think this period of time you talk about it the time period he refers to.
