Okay, prepare yourself for what I'm about to say.
Firstly, Little Lies is my big nostalgia song (i.e. I remember it from when a was only a few years old), so I'll always love it.
Second, I'll defend Oh Diane as a decent song... well, perhaps that can't actually be done, but I like it nonetheless!
And now, for the revolutionary comment...
I bought The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac (2CD) after hearing a few songs from Rumours and TITN on the radio (I enjoyed the compilation so much that they became my favourite band soon afterwards, and will surely stay that way forever). From what songs I'd heard I thought that their music would be mostly easy listening, so you can imagine the surprise I had when the first track was Monday Morning! I couldn't believe it! I almost had a heart attack! Fortunately I calmed down when I heard Dreams after it, and loved the rest of the disc. But it took me ages for me to not skip Monday Morning whenever I put the CD on!
Now, however, I really do like it a lot, although oddly it's a song that I like to play in my head more than play to my ears. I think it's just because that first time I heard it has tarnished my view of it irreparably.
As a side, I really like What Makes You Think You're The One, but I often wonder if I would've liked it as much as I do if that had been the first track on the second disc... I also wonder if I would've had a different reaction to MM if there had been some instrumentation before the vocals...
As for least fav songs... well, I feel as if the band fell apart musically as soon as Lindsey left, so As Long As You Follow and No Questions Asked don't particularly captivate me. Skies the Limit and Paper Doll are okay, as long as you (follow) don't think of them as Fleetwood Mac songs... which, in a sense, they kinda aren't.
Any questions?
