If it had been on Rumours, they'd be playing it to this day!

some songs are better left underexposed rather than overexposed, to be honest I can hardly play Rumours anymore and I have it in surround, on double 45 rpm 12 inch, german target cd (1st cd I ever bought in '83)

but Why....I love it so much I don't want it ruined by hearing it everywhere I go.

That's a bit like me and Madame Bovary.....I've read it and read it over and over.........BUT I wished I'd never read it and still had that wonderful moment to come.

Could probably argue that Songbird killed Why.

Just reflecting on my previous post. Nine studio albums in just over seven years. Then eight and one EP in forty three. Sigh and Ouch..

I disagree. While Why could have fit on Rumours (its another break up song), Songbird is the perfect positive closer. In some ways Songbird is the opposite to Why. I like Why better but Songbird is the perfect closer to Rumours.
