Let's see....two of Fleetwood Mac's all-time WORST songs put up against a throwaway song off of Mirage? I don't see a "gem" in the trio. And, not in any stretch of the imagination is any of the three one "in the rough".

Where's that barfing smiley?

My sentiments exactly.

However, I do think The Second Time is one of Stevie's best songs! I know I'm in the majority here. LOL. The only reason I didn't vote for it is because the vocal is so lousy. I wish she had recorded that song pre or post klonopin. The song would have had much more power with an emotional vocal to match those wonderfully sad lyrics.

Maybe she should incorporate it in the next mac tour setlist!

I hope she does. I think it would work beautifully as a show closer or as a Landslide replacement.

Straight Back

[Heartboy]

'Garbo'

Well to me of the 3 songs I picked Straight Back...its always been a favorite of mine. When I see you again....it repeats too much/boring/personally I like the outtake much better with her AND Lindsey at the end. Even though this is the version she preferred. I think outtake is better. On The Second Time...its ok but kinda boring song....it just doesn't stand out....its just kinda there......Some have mentioned 'Thats Alright'....the LP version itself is boring but those outtakes are wonderful really. Its funny how the outtakes or alternates always shine better than the original versions. Maybe its because they aren't released.....who knows but I tend to like them more then the released versions thats for sure......anyway, IMO ........its all good no matter what you like or love.....theres no wrong answer really.....

not really a balanced poll at all. Straight Back crushes the other 2. I don't see how Straight Back got lumped in with WISYA and The Second Time.

TOTALLY agree!!!!! One of the greatest hidden gems EVER, right up there with "Ricky!!"

Her vocal delivery is not very appealing. And the lyrics -- trying to capture the landside vibe-- are awkward and strained. Even though its trying to be, it's just not an accessible song. It will never make my best of list, but it holds a place in Stevie's cannon of songs as being very unusual....BABY!

The only part of the song that is palatable is the ending portion, with Lindsey singing solo.

I think Freedom should have been added to the list. It is my favorite song on Behind The Mask. Straight Back is one of my all time favorites tho. I must say I do love WISYA and The Second Time. They aren't my favorite songs of hers, but when I do randomly listen to them they still brighten my day. Call me strange.
