I voted for it too.

(Where you for it [staying] before you were against it?)

Straight Back is one of the best FM songs ever recorded.
My god how can people not like this song it is like the ultimate FM song. You can hear everyone's imput to cleary yet they all meld together as well.

The soaring vocal, the way Christines honey voice softens the rough edges of Stevies, Micks big walloping drums, Johns signature rythym base line, and of course Lindsay closes it out with a big guitar track.

OH THE HUMANITY!!!!!

I know to each their own.

I love all of these things.
And yet I don't find Straight Back to the be the quintessential FM song in the slightest. Slight FM song, yes.

I'm a bit surprised Straight Back is getting more votes than That's Alright. I think That's Alright is my least favorite Stevie FM song!

[nailatixela]

I voted for Wish You Were Here...don't care for it that much...Christine didn't even write the lyrics!

True about WYWH

See, I think we need to get Stevie songs out before they consume the poll [then I'd go for EOTW...because the Mirage Tour version is a million times better]
Which is why SB gets my vote
I don't think it is a horrible song. I prefer it to the album version of EOTW.

Ditto.

I've never disliked the song but it just leaves me feeling completely numb afterwards. I just think it's so bland.

I agree that we need to kick out the Nicks songs. It is time that someone else has a chance.

[GypsySorcerer]

I like all the ones left. I'll go with "Wish You Were Here."

[GoS]

Right now there are two songs with no votes, Gypsy and Hold Me. I wonder what that means about the fate of those songs...

[michelej1]

I would place Hold Me among my Top 5 of all FM songs. So, I hope the fact that it has no votes means something good. Michele

Yeah I remember in 1982 when it was released... I was like wow what a strange great tune!
