Landslide and I Don't Want to Know, this was torture !
Landslide only because, I do not like the studio version.
IDWTK- because, I loved the other songs too much.
But really I didn't want to get rid of any of them !

Dreams is the most perfect pop song Stevie has ever penned.Landslide is the song she will be remembered for 50 or 1oo years from now..this why I won't vote again until the turn of the decade and the substandard songs rear their head.

Now that they are a duet again, I'll never know why they don't add that into the setlist.

Their voices aren't high enough anymore?

I voted IDWTK and Angel. After this round it will be hideous to have to choose, all her FM work is stellar, to my ears. Including the klonopin hymns and SYW.

Landslide and Angel.

I really like IDWTK, but I'm not going to 'obsess' over it in this game.

I voted for "Dreams" and "Landslide" just because I'm sick of hearing them performed live. I like all of the songs though!

Landslide, you've fallen. And IDWTK, just not a standout song by any means.

How, just how, can anyone vote for dreams?? Here I am dramatic...

I agree, and wonder the same thing.

I really don't think being tired of a song qualifies it as a bad song. Dreams and Landslide are probably - technically and lyrically - the two best songs Stevie Nicks has ever written. Subjecting them to a poll where the voters are sick of hearing them is a disgrace.

I once read an interview in Rolling Stone with James Blunt, and the author was tackling the subject of the massive overexposure that his song "You're Beautiful" received - even resulting in some stations banning it from the airwaves. James had a really good point; he basically said that if you love chocolate cake, and you find the best chocolate cake you've ever eaten, and you eat so much of it that it makes you sick - you can't fault the cake. It's still the best chocolate cake out there. Your own gluttony will never diminish the quality of that chocolate cake. Show a little restraint, and don't blame the baker because you made yourself sick.

I don't always agree with all your posts but this one nailed it beautifully.If Landslide and Dreams were eliminated from her body of work her stature would be diminshed.The songs were overplayed and covered by others because they are timeless classics.Is Casablanca any less of a great film because one may have seen it 20 times?I just don't get that logic.
