It's really, really hard to put "Say Goodbye" on the bottom. I toyed with its position several times, in fact (mainly flip-flopping it with "Silver Girl").
It's a song that I want to love, but I just can't... at least as it is on the album.
The lyrics are tremendous and heartfelt, but I think something goes awry in the execution. The vocal melody seems rushed and is an uncomfortable fit with the music... and the instrumentation is just waaay too fussy.
The song would have been so much more effective if it had been done more simplistically.

Anyway, for better or worse, that's my ranking.

So, you're finally getting back at me for all the smack I talked about When I See You Again, eh?

I hope you've heard the GOS version of Say Goodbye because it frickin ROCKS and I love it MUCH more than the SYW version. It's cleaner (for lack of a better word) and his singing is softer. The very end is better too, that guitar sound is GREATNESS!!

Also, the GOS version sounds Beatles-esque. LOL Yeah, I said it.

18. Silver Girl

The live version of "Come" is my joint fav. LB song of all time (tied with "Go Insane '97").
The solo (GOS) versions of "Say Goodbye" and "Peacekeeper" are MUCH better than the SYW versions.
This is the best collection of Stevie songs on a Fleetwood Mac album since Tusk: songs 1 to 17 are superb.
Song 18 has been permanently removed from my playlist.

MHO of course!

Hard to do. I'm starting to get "Come" through the live versions. That's why it's not last on the list.
