Of course I am going with Empire State, the only Fleetwood Mac song I really hate.

I love Lindsey but I can't deny he has put out some really lackluster songs on Mirage.

Even though I do like Oh Diane and Book of Love they are certainly not the best songs of his career. I am also very found of Can't Go Back, except for the "clown" part...ugh.

Not too familiar with Eyes of the World though.

Empire State is great...compared to Oh Diane.

I really love all of Lindsey's songs from Mirage except for Oh Diane. I could play the rest of his Mirage tracks today and still love them as much as I did in 1982.

I am in the minority because I LOVE Empire State lol. Oh Diane has my vote for least favorite.

"Can't Go Back". I really like "Book of Love" & don't mind the others at all.

Can't vote on this one, just like I recused myself from the Tusk polls. I like all of LB's songs here.

Where's all the votes for "Oh Diane"? I thought that Ledgies really hated that one!

I know why people hate that song, but Lindsey's vocals are so amazing on it!

I always liked "Oh Diane" but I put together a playlist of Lindsey singles and whenever "Oh Diane" comes on, I want to skip it (I don't. But I want to.). I don't think I would feel that way about ANY of the other songs, including the sublimely silly "Empire State."

They aren't his best group of songs but I still find "Oh Diane" and "Book Of Love" so much fun. I voted for "Empire State." Any other album would have been extremely difficult to near impossible for me. But Mirage isn't his strongest collection. From then on it was all uphill so I'm not hating.

Hate it? No way! I fell in love with Lindsey Buckingham soon as I heard that song and have loved him ever since. And that song has remained one of my favourites to this day, it's gorgeous

No contest, "Empire State" is his only dud on this album.

Was torn between Book of Love and Can't Go Back, since both are horrendous. Flipped a coin and went with Can't Go Back
