GH '88 Survivor Rounds 3-6 (maybe)

You Make Loving Fun

[bretonbanquet]

I love so many of Chris's songs, but Little Lies has never been one of my favourites

It's too late to change things, but I believe if Diss's vote had been for Sara this round would have seen Sara taken out. SYLM was pretty much a goner by the time Diss voted having already garnered five votes, in previous rounds anything over seven tended to disappear and that early in the game it seemed likely that SYLM would get at least three more.

So then it comes down to dreams vs. sara which as Diss pointed out, dreams had more votes when he voted... by one. His vote would have tied them and then the next vote that came in also being for sara would have shifted the herd mentality over and I think Sara would have ended with more votes. As it stands before my vote, sara and dreams would have been tied if not for Diss.

As per my subject line, this is a vote to remove Dreams

I vote Little Lies

Little Lies to go

I guess, for me, these polls really have little to do with finding the actual best FLEETWOOD MAC song and more to do with so-and-so's favorite singer/songwriter. I mean, to be voting for "Say You Love Me" or "You Make Loving Fun" so early on is pretty crazy. I think it's odd that Stevie has all four of her legitimate hit singles from the US version of the 1988 set still on the list, where Christine has one axed, and Lindsey only has one left (one that should be in the top three, if we're being honest). For me, "Say You Love Me" is probably one of THE best examples of a great "Rumours" era Mac song. It has the amazing harmonies, it's catchy, and it has a lot of interesting things going on in terms of production. This would be one of the last songs I'd vote off.

Well said. Say You Love Me isn't just one of Christine's best songs, it's one of Fleetwood Mac's best songs. To have it gone so early would be criminal, but it's all based on who has more fans. Christine, unfortunately, doesn't have that many compared to Lindsey and Stevie, which is a dirty shame.

Well, I'm a fan of everyone at some point, and SYLM is clearly one of the best songs left.

Hmmm... I thought voting off Seven Wonders was crazy--but I guess we all have our own likes and dislikes. I think I'm just tired of You Make Loving Fun like others are tired of Dreams...... When Rumours first came out I couldn't get enough of that song (Dreams)..... Now I just LOVE Say You Love Me and am quite surprised also that it is getting so many votes........ its all in fun though Trust me--there are a lot of songs that I just love that get bashed to death on these boards!!

Believe me, I understand. I could never hear a lot of songs in my top five ever again and be happy. But, I guess my problem is that there are just certain songs that really define this band. One got voted off VERY early: "Don't Stop." Sure, I don't need to hear this song ever again. But of all the Fleetwood Mac songs ever released, this is one that is probably their most historically significant song ever. Our grandchildren will read about this in releation to the Baby Boomer generation being handed the torch, so to speak, with the U.S. presidency. Yet, it was voted off pretty early. For me, the top five should have been (in no particular order) "Rhiannon," "Don't Stop," GYOW, SYLM, and "Dreams." There are better songs, to be sure, but I think those five are the songs that really define Fleetwood Mac.

I've never been a fan of SYLM, so that's my reasoning for voting it off. I adore Little Lies and hope it's one of the last to go. I am voting by saying to myself, "Self, which of these songs do you like the least?", not saying "Self, which Christine song can I vote off." LOL

I know - I LOVE all of these songs. So, it is a which one of the greats do I like better

[Hawkeye]

SYLM is one of very favorite Fleetwood Mac songs. And Id say that Say You Love Me and Dreams are like cousin songs. They are like the definition of Fleetwood Mac's smooth flowing, heavey harmony songs.

[GypsySorcerer]

I prefer "Hold Me" and "Over My Head" over YMLF, but both of those were voted off. I don't think SYLM belongs on the chopping block yet. It deserves to be top three.
