Well, my favourite FM song as well as my favourite song ever is RHIANNON. It's magical. That song lives. It breathes. And it changes. Call me crazy if you want, but this song seems to be a little different to me everyday. It has its own life I swear. Stevie gave something away to this song from deep in her heart and brought it to life. I've never tried drugs but I guess it feels like listening to Rhiannon. If I should have to spend eternity with nothing but this song I won't miss a thing.

WELLL....yes, this is a very challenging thread. It's so hard to pick an all time favorite because I'll listen to 3 or 4 for a really long time and then accidently, something else will play like "Everybody Finds Out" and then that is my new fav because it describes where I am in life. BUTTTT, I will choose, generally speaking, these as my favorite songs. Many have already been listed, but I will get creative here and say why they are undeniably the best songs ever.

#1-- "Rhiannon"--it's the first connection I made with Stevie when I was about 10 or 11. This song touched me deep, y'all, just because the ending was so intense. I couldn't believe I had lived 10 years without this music in my life. The day I heard it, I vowed my first daughter's name will be Rhiannon and I stand firm in that decision (though I have no children at the moment, but someday...)

#2--"The Chain"--yeah...these are SO common, I know. But, in general, if my ipod is on shuffle and this plays, I never change it, especially the one from The Dance. I love it so much cus of John's solo.

#3--"Sisters of the Moon"--in particular, the version from the Mirage tour. It needs no explanation, y'all know why this is spectacular!

#4--"You Make Loving Fun"--This was the first song I heard Christine McVie sing and it makes me want to dance...for whatever reason....a weird dance too...that I will not be describing now...so moving on...

#5--"So Afraid"--ALL TIME FAV Lindsey song, for me. I know the guitar solo can be long winded at times, but what can I say, I love me some guitar, especially some Lindsey guitar. It's so incredibly sexy to me. Love you long time, Linds.

#6--"Gypsy"--it's my dads favorite Stevie song, every time I go to a concert, I have to call him when she sings this and I think he cries because he isn't there for it. Sad.

#7--"Say Goodbye"--it is as horrible as it is wonderful to me. Guys, don't hate on me for this, but this song is like the WORSE/BEST romance novel of all time. It's like watching a sappy chick flick and hoping it ends good, but then it ends bad....they just have to say goodbye, but you don't want them too, but they both know and are okay saying goodbye to each other. Maybe I love it because I've had a similar relationship that was pretty intense....sad. haha.

#8--"Go Your Own Way"--I just love the beat. This is essential Fleetwood Mac material here, you can never not love this song and be a true fan. It's classic.

And thats really all I have to say, though I've said more than enough. haha, sorry guys. I'm a communication major, once I start, I can't shutup.

Yeah, "Say Goodbye" is a close runner up or me. It makes and breaks your heart within the span of 3 minutes and 26 seconds.

Default Pick four

I'm usually pretty stringent when someone says pick one, but since Rumours era Mac has three really strong songwriting voices, I'll just narrow down to one of each, plus one for early Mac!

Peter Green era-I hate to be so obvious, but I have always loved Oh Well and I just went nutso on opening night of this tour when it was on the setlist. I do think LB has gotten MUCH more into it, maybe the earlier performances were throwaways, but he rocks the hell out of it now!

Stevie Nicks-My first ever favorite was Dreams, it was on every radio station when my family drove (eternally it seemed like!) from New York to Florida. It's one of the most deeply embedded songs in my person. I loved Gypsy, it was a great song for that MTV era, because the video was awesome. Silver Springs just killed me when they did it for The Dance. I'm definitely a new convert to Sisters of the Moon. But I think I'll go with Gold Dust Woman.

Lindsey Buckingham-Lord this is tough. I love Blue Letter. Love Monday Morning. Love Second Hand News. Love What Makes You Think You're the One. Love Never Going Back Again. But Go Your Own Way is quintessential for me, so I'll pick that.

Christine McVie-Really loved Over My Head for a couple of decades. And loved Hold Me for the same reason I loved Gypsy, and Love in Store even though it had no video. Right now I'm feelin' Think About Me.

It's so impossible to pick one for each it just doesn't seem to get to the gist of it.

Ok. If we're going to do early Mac, then here's my (partial) list off the top of my head while at work:

I Loved Another Woman (Peter's guitar just tears me up every time I hear it!!)
Oh Well (Who doesn't love this song? Honestly!!)
Rattlesnake Shake (Again, what's not to love about this song?)
Jumping At Shadows (I know it wasn't penned by anyone in the band but I love Peter's rendition.)
Black Magic Woman
Stop Messin' Round
Shake Your Moneymaker (same as Jumping At Shadows, except with Jeremy)
Albatross (Of Course!!!)
Green Manalishi
Looking For Somebody
Sugar Mama
I Can't Believe You Wanna Leave (just like Jumping At Shadows)
Fleetwood Mac
Homework
Hypnotized
Why
The City (love that opening slide part)
Spare Me A Little Of Your Love
Danny's Chant
Sunny Side Of Heaven
Show Me A Smile
Dissatisfied

That's all I can remember and it's 00:40 in the morning. I think I'll stop there!!

Well this is hard to choose so I am gonna name my very favorites ...though I love almost all of them soooo much.

Silver Springs - This song made me fall in total love with this band. The ending is so haunting how she sings it and puts so much feeling into it. I just feel the emotions pouring out in that song. I love it!

Angel - This is just uplifting to me. I can put that song in when I am feeling down and it just lifts my spirits again and puts a smile on my face. Makes me really wish i was born back in the day to enjoy it live!

Sara - That is just a special song to me because Stevie will always be the poet of my heart. Yes I'm sure that's corny... but I don't care. It just has alot of meaning to me.

So Afraid - Wonderful passionate song. I can feel the emotions Lindsey put into that song and I love when Stevie sings chours with him, they harmonize so awesome together.

Songbird - This song touches me and it also has alot of meaning to me I won't bore you with but it's one of my very favorites as well.

Ok I better stop now before I go through every one of them.

AMEN! There's really no other way to put it.
