NME: 20 insanely great FM songs

[aleuzzi]

So glad to see a few people would list "Remember Me" in their top 20. I love that song and quite frankly don't know why I didn't remember (no pun intended) to include it in mine.

I'd have listed Sugar Daddy, too!

One of the appeals of Family Man is the flamenco guitar, but for that one can easily go to Bermuda Triangle on Heroes--a much better song an day of the week.

I love Remember Me, Family Man and Sugar Daddy. I guess we are the outcasts of the ledge. lol!

Am i wrong if I say that it's not usual to find Fleetwood Mac articles nowadays? I've seen them only when a FM album is released or they are on the road. Probably this article comes since the latest news about a possible tour in 2013.. or Stevie's activities this year.

Nice critic, but by its title, are we talking about "special" songs, or only about the songs?
It's impossible to put only 20 in a ranking!
Here's mine, hits and non-hits, maybe, from all time, if I must put at least one song from every FM era...

- Albatross
- Oh Well (Part I)
- Sunny Side Of Heaven
- Caught in the rain
- Monday Morning
- Second hand news
- Go Your Own Way
- Silver Springs
- Brown Eyes
- Tusk
- Sisters of the Moon
- Can't Go Back
- Book Of Love
- Gypsy
- Oh Diane
- Big Love
- Everywhere
- As long as you follow
- I'm So Afraid (The Dance)
- Peacekeeper

Out, songs like Little Lies, Man of the World, Dust, Spare me a Little, Love in Store & Think about me, Tango In The Night, Seven Wonders, Bleed To Love Her (The Dance), Say Goodbye, You make loving fun, Straight Back & You and I (Part I). And I could make another list of "songs"!! Insanely songs?
Regards, Mark.

No, I always see many, many articles on FM. They seem to be weekly, but they are all just cut and paste jobs mostly. It's rare to get original material or a new slant, unless they are touring and interviewing.

I don't have time to make a list at the minute but I'm so glad somebody has Say Goodbye on their list. That song is fantastic. The GOS version without the Stevie vocals is even more sparse and vulnerable and therefore more beautiful. I can't disagree with much else on this list either.
