Song(s) you wish Fleetwood Mac would retire

[elle]

Rhiannon and Dreams are the worst offenders in being tired and just going through the motions.

I agree with this, and also Landslide. If I never heard that song again, that would be just fine.

Don't Stop, World Turning, and I'm So Afraid. Lindsey could have his big moment with either Tango In The Night or Murrow Turning In His Grave replacing I'm So Afraid. It's enough already.

Agreed, pull I'm So Afraid ( and for me Big Love) and have Lindsey new a different big moment solo....Tango in the night would definitely be great

Big Love. Play it the way it was released on Tango, or just burn it, already. How about Tango In The night, instead?

World Turning. Oh gosh, the worst ever. I can't even listen to it on the Tusk deluxe live CD. I've hated it live since, well, since forever, because it always drags on for what seems like forever. How about You And I, instead? Part 1, leading in to Part 2?

Don't Stop. Don't stop touring again tomorrow! Been tired of it since The Dance. How about Think About Me, instead?

Tusk. Really. It's just a bunch of noise anymore. Lindsey has none of the pacing or control to sing the lyrics with the menace and mystery of the original. How about Green Manalishi, instead?

Rhiannon. Because they're all the same, all the same, all the same Rhiannon. How about Thrown Down, instead? Or - lets' go way back - how about Sorcerer the way it might have ended up on a 1970's Fleetwood Mac album. I hate Stevie's live solo version.

Those are, for me, the songs that make me groan with angst and boredom when I hear the opening notes.

On the other hand, I never, ever get tired of Dreams. I love Dreams in Stevie's huskier voice. The high notes are for the vengeful little girl that wrote it. The modern takes are a wiser look back, a reflection.

None of these songs get skipped when I play the albums - I love each of them. It's just that, played live, they lack any enthusiasm. They're rote.
