The song I hate really has little to do with the song itself. It's just the timing.
I don't like Silver Girl and it's not because it's an awful song. As one song on an album, it would have been no big deal. It's just that with the band apart for so many years, I anticipated new material so much and we only got the three songs from each person for the tour and Silver Girl and Temporary One seemed to be such weak, dismal entries.

They seemed worse, not because they were bad, but because I'd waited so long for them and they were part of a very thin crop. As part of 10 new songs on an album, they would have been fine. In fact, I incorporated the lyrics of Temporary One into my dad's funeral, so I obviously had some regard for it, but both Silver Girl and Temporary One disappointed me in 1997.

But Silver Girl . . . I think I resented it all the more because Twisted was out there -- on the soundtrack and on the Best Buy album and I would so much more have had that one made part of The Dance than Silver Girl.

There are lots of songs I am not moved by, but I don't think I hate them. There are also songs I probably would like under other circumstances, but I've heard them too much, so that I feel like I hate them, even though when I was much less familiar with them, I liked them just fine.

I would be more inclined to say I hate something like These Strange Times than any of Stevie, Lindsey or Christine's songs.

I think you are getting your girls mixed up. Do you mean Sweet Girl? Also, I love Twisted and consider it to be an honerary Fleetwood Mac song. They should have included it in their live set.

You're right. I mean Sweet Girl. Although, the combo of Silver Girl and RTTG back to back kind of makes me say "hate" too. It's just having two songs I am ambivalent about side by side like that that really pushes things over the edge. Either song by itself is probably not hateworthy.

I didn't appreciate Oh Diane until I heard the demo/outtake version that doesn't have verses. It's really raw and comes off like an angsty Beach Boys song...and I'm currently obsessed with it. I'm guessing the verses were a bit of an afterthought, and the overall toning down of the song for the album is a disappointment.

The only song I can think of that I truly hate, will stop what I'm doing to change it, etc is Empire State. I LOVE Mirage...but WTF? I should really just burn a version of the album sans Empire State.

I'm listening to Silver Girl after all your hating on the song. I think I only really like it because it reminds me of my estranged mother...and it's really mellow.

Also love WISYA, but it would suck without Lindsey's part at the end.

So...apparently I don't hate much.

I think you are referring to Sweet Girl. Silver Girl is on Say You Will. I actually like Sweet Girl (although I prefer the version that ended up on Enchanted), and Temporary One. Not the greatest songs either of them ever wrote but I don't skip over them.

Songs I hate: Warm Ways, Oh Diane, Only Over You, Empire State, Mystified, Family Man, When I see you again (except for the Lindsey part at the end), Silver Girl. I'll leave the solo stuff out.

[Stew_Matthews]

Ms Nicks - Silver Girl - the 'she was a girlie girl' bit is particularly bad! And wins my award for the worst FM track ever I'm afraid.

Linds - Oh Diane

Christine - Only Over You

[Regina]

Chris: Oh, Daddy (shudders). I actually think there is another one I hate more but I have blocked it out of my mind and it's probably better that way.

Stevie: The 96 minute demo for the song that would become "The Nightmare."
I hate that sucker. And I had it on multiple tapes and I'd try and fast forward through the tapes for like...five minutes and I'd still hear that plunking piano and that "that's when the dream held her prisoner..." Oy.

Lindsey: Hmmmm...oh, I'm blanking on the name. Hang on. I have to run it through my mind...well, I think it's "It was I." I don't like a good deal of what is on Law and Order though.

Yeah, I have a problem with Oh, Daddy. I think it's partly because I've heard it too much and also because I really don't like hearing paramours called "Daddy." I mean, maybe if you have kids and the kids said "mommy" and "daddy" so much that you began to call each other that. Maybe then I can understand it. But otherwise, I just think it's creepy to call a romantic mate "Daddy" or "Mama" or . . . well, "sis" would not work either.

And that would bring me to Sugar Daddy, which I don't really like. But I never had to listen to over and over again, so I can't really "hate" it either. It had the good grace not to shove itself at me. Michele

Exactly! And I hate being called "mama" (by anyone--if it were done in a romantic situation, it would seriously be the end of the romantic situation). It's in the top 10 of my personal pet peeves. I think I'd rather be called a crabby old bat than mama. Even Lindsey's Trouble (which I love) makes me cringe a little at the "come and keep your daddy warm" line.

Wow! Oh, Daddy is my official favorite Christine track!

And in your previous post, you meant "Sweet Girl" not "Silver Girl"

[TrueFaith77]

Limiting my choices to Mac songs.... hm....

As album tracks go, I have to go with "World Turning" as my least favorite Lindsey and least favorite Christine track

As for Stevie. . . I have to go with "Silver Girl"

Let's go by album:

Fleetwood Mac: "Warm Ways" - no, just no.
Rumours: "Don't Stop" - it's not that it's bad, it just makes me think of Bill Clinton.
Tusk: "That's Enough For Me" - okay, we get it.
Mirage: "Oh Diane" - I'm going with others on that one. It's got like a... '50s-ish vibe. Very odd.
Tango in the Night: "Caroline" - huh?
Say You Will - "Come" and "Silver Girl" - the production on these songs makes me cringe.
