"Rhiannon" and "Landslide" are just both so evergreen; we're voting for the best song on an album that is a piece of pop perfection. At least half of the songs on Fleetwood Mac deserve to win.

My vote goes for "Landslide." On Friday, I realized it is universal unlike any other song I've heard...My father, a 50 year old man, was singing along; a (lesbian?) couple seated behind us held hands and gently swayed; a trio of young gay men sighed in contentment as the opening chords began. My father even thought it the best performance of the night!

Listening to "Landslide"...Stevie Nicks singing each time with wisdom and conviction...Makes me believe that the song is peerless.
That's a great point. The lyrics are impeccable too. But as I watch her scrying out mrawlingly rhiannon in Japan, 77, I can't help but be swayed by the strange and bizarre passion. Which landslide really has none of. So, strange and bizarre passion wins over good lyrics and timeless, universal soft song. I'm so predictable...

In my book, a Stevie song wins every one of these things.

Well, ok, except "best new song on 'The Dance'"... then I have to admit it goes to "Bleed To Love Her."

No let's be fair: if there is one song on this album that is exquisite in lyric, composition and melody, it's LANDSLIDE. It's as good as Youngs "Heart of Gold" or Beatles' Yesterday (puike) or Stones' Angie.

So Landslide to win.

Gerald you put that perfectly!

Landslide to win!

Maybe it's just me, but I actually think the last three remaining songs (Rhiannon, Crystal and Landslide) are the best songs on the White album, I really do.

Ideally, ISA would win. Since I'm so sick of Landslide, my vote goes to..

Rhiannon.

Love 'em both, but let "Rhiannon" be the winner.
