What songs do you consider non-hits from Rumours?

[MacShadowsBall]

We need to start figuring out what songs from Rumours will count as non-hits. So multiple choice votes for the songs you feel are non-hits and should be eligible in the contest.

Since there are 11 songs on Rumours and 10 choices available, I'll remove "Go Your Own Way" since it was a hit single and won Favorite Fleetwood Mac-Lindsey song back in the 2010 contest.

probably no songs from Rumours should be included

here are the songs:

1. "Second Hand News" Lindsey Buckingham 2:43 = hit
2. "Dreams" Stevie Nicks 4:14 = hit
3. "Never Going Back Again" Buckingham 2:02 - maybe can be considered, although has multiple country live covers
4. "Don't Stop" Christine McVie 3:11 = hit
5. "Go Your Own Way" Buckingham 3:38 = hit
6. "Songbird" C. McVie 3:20 - maybe can be considered, but with multiple covers... hard

1. "The Chain" Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, C. McVie, John McVie, Nicks 4:28 = hit
2. "You Make Loving Fun" C. McVie 3:31 = hit
3. "I Don't Want to Know" Nicks 3:11 - probably hit, but possible consideration
4. "Oh Daddy" C. McVie 3:54 - can be considered
5. "Gold Dust Woman" Nicks 4:51 = hit

Second Hand News (I wouldn't say it was ever a "hit")
NGBA
Songbird
I Don't Want To Know
Oh Daddy
Gold Dust Woman

I don't think The Chain counts because I know the Dance version charted (on Rock tracks or something?) and Wikipedia says it has charted in the UK.

Second hand News
Never Going Back Again
Gold Dust Woman
I don't Wanna Know

And Oh Daddy Even though I forgot to click it.

ok people - if Second Hand News and Gold Dust Woman are not hits, how come they are still regularly played on many classic rock stations? and how come LB and SN cannot get around performing them live whenever they do a full concert, whether solo or with mac - and always get a rousing reception reserved for hits?! and how come both songs were covered by some other big acts (Love, Kid Rock, etc)?!

EDIT: and, don't get me wrong - i love both of these songs - they are easy in my top 5 mac songs ever.

They just don't spring to MY mind as hits.....and they never will.

I'm just not sure on this one... I think I've heard every single song on Rumours on the radio at some point or another.

yup! to reiterate my same thoughts from the beginning of the thread - probably the whole album should be excluded from any non-hits poll.
