What is the most underrated Fleetwood Mac song?
Out of all the songs, which one do you really love but gets no credit whatsoever foir being a great song? Here are some of mine:
Welcome to the Room Sara Honey Hi Tango in the Night In the Back of My Mind Love in Store Angel From Stevie's solo albums- Two Kinds of Love Docklands Fall From Grace I sing for the Things These seem to be the songs that I love but no one else seems to pay much attention to them. Anyone else have songs like that?

I would say pretty much most of the songs from Future Games, Bare Trees, Penguin, Mystery To Me & Heroes Are Hard To Find are underrated. If I had to pick 1 or 2 songs from those albums, I would pick "The Way I Feel" & "Emerald Eyes". I LOVE both of these songs and I've never heard anyone say virtually anything about them.

A few I think don't get enough credit are...
Isn't It Midnight Sugar Daddy That's Alright Why Oh Daddy I think all of these songs deserve a second listening. They're all good tracks that are usually overshadowed by the major hits off of their respective albums.

Fireflies! I don't get why that song didn't make it to the Chain or Greatest Hits of Very Best of.

Tango In the Night (the best song on the album, IMO)
Imperial Hotel (such a fun, cheesy song) Straight Back (I actually prefer it over Gypsy) Oh Daddy (my fave Chris song; so great) In the Back of My Mind (an epic) Juliet (I adore this song) Book of Love (I have a soft spot for it) The Ledge (my favorite Lindsey song from Tusk!) That's Alright (sing-a-along kinda song; cute) Love Is Like A River (incomprehensible but a great rocker) Sable On Blonde (one of the best solo songs) Say Goodbye (I can never hear enough praise for this!!!) Family Man (very cool song)

 I love Family Man! I agree with those of yours dissention. I also think that Make Me A Mask, most Danny songs and Save Me from the BTM album are underrated!! I think WTTRS gets a bad rap too.

"I Know I'm Not Wrong" and "Second Hand News"
The former because it's just 3 minutes of awesome rock 'n roll that gets overlooked whenever Tusk is discussed, and the latter because, while it's a fairly popular song, it's deceptively simple. I think a lot of casual fans and critics miss all the little sounds and parts going on in that song. It seems like there are about 20 ways you can play that song on the guitar with all the harmonics, capoed chords, standard chords and fills. And don't get me started on the use of a naugahide (sp?) chair as percussion. That song is example numero uno of the genius of Mr. Buckingham.

One of my favorites is "Think about Me." It really rocks and I don't think they have ever done it in concert before.

"When I See You Again" is woefully underrated, not to mention unfairly maligned.
A few other underrated songs... "Prove Your Love," "Future Games," "Just Crazy Love," "I Don't Want To Know," "I Know I'm Not Wrong," "You And I, part 1," "Paper Doll," and "Freedom."

I can't belive I never see anybody mention "Morning Rain"! I've looked through posts here, and it's never mentioned. That's probably my favorite Christine song. I just love the jammy, laid back good-time rockin' feel of the track. Her piano work is also really great on this song. Plus, that wah-wah guitar part that kicks the track in is just awesome and really takes the song somewhere cool. Everything about this song, the words, the music, the transitons between parts especially, is just awesome. There's a bit more detail to the arrangement of this song than most other Mac tracks which makes it especially good for me.
"Believe Me" is another great up-tempo rocker and a Mac favorite that doesn't get mentioned much. I also really like "Just Crazy Love" from the same album. If they had used an in-tune vocal for "Homeward Bound" that would be a favorite as well. "Heroes Are Hard To Find" was the smash hit that never was. Hands down these are Chris's best and funniest lyrics. This REALLY should have been a huge hit. The vocals on "Come A Little Bit Closer" are just sublime as well. I also really like "Future Games" which reminds me a lot of Court Of The Crimson King era King Crimson and something that might have been on The Yes Album. The buildup at the end is just phenominal and I love Bob's vocals here. "Lay It All Down" is another awesomely funky, "Fire" style rocker. Some other tracks I love that appear to be underrated Trinity Emerald Eyes The City The Ledge What Makes You Think You're The One? Never Forget Angel Station Man The Ghost Think About Me Thats All For Everyone And some grossly OVERrated tracks which I either find average, boring, or downright disgusting that all kinds of people like Gypsy Sara Not That Funny Say That You Love Me Eyes Of The World Oh Diane
