Do you really stand behind this statement 100%?

Sure do.

There's nothing "dramatic" about it, I just think that "Why" is the best track in the Fleetwood Mac studio catalogue. Dramatic is, "OMG I can't ever imagine not being totally in love with Stevie, she has touched my life and manhandled my soul like no other, I don't think I could live without her music or her twirls!!!"

You forgot...

"I just DREAM for the day that she & Lindsey get back together romantically".

Her voice is beautiful, kind of haunting. She really struggled with her live vocals around this time, but in the studio her voice was really great.

I wish fleetwood mac c. 1970 to 1974 had recorded christine's vocal like this & none of that stupid doubletracking.

It IS dramatic to be able to pick out a song from a band's catalogue as extensive as Fleetwtood Mac's and then profess that it's "the best" song in Fleetwood Mac's recording history. I would say that to anyone saying that about any F.M. song. Maybe I'm just boondoggled because I don't know how one can do that, it's impossible for me. Oh and by the way, there's nothing inherently wrong with being dramatic either--I just noticed your grand sweeping statement about Chris's song and it hit me as just that, so I had to rib you for it a bit. I make dramatic statements about my favorite things all the time---no big.

Oh, and the last part of your post is just silly and ridiculous. I guess that's just more of your priceless sarcasm?

I normally wouldn't, and in most cases if you asked me to name a single favorite song by one of my favorite artists, I'd say I couldn't possibly. But "Why" comes out way ahead of any other Mac song for me.

It wasn't sarcasm, it was straightforward silly and ridiculous.
