Landslide is another one that I prefer the later live versions of. The studio version is nice - not boring like Rhiannon. But the later versions (The Dance, Soundstage) have more tooth.

I actually completely adore the Practical Magic Crystal because Stevie's older voice just has so much wisdom. It just seems so fitting when you hear her sing the lines:

How the faces of love have changed, turning the pages
And I have changed oh but you, you remain ageless...

That's an excellent point, Louie. I actually can't believe I never thought about that, especially since that same lyrical maturity is what makes latter day Landslide work for me.
I loved '75 Crystal because of the harmonies; it's probably sweetest Stevie and Lindsey have ever sounded. As a result, I don't think I even gave PM Crystal a chance, really. But you're right: the lyrics are better suited to her mature voice. With that in mind, I honestly think I'm going to be able to warm up to it. So seriously, thank you!

I would have to vote for Crystal. Weakest lyrics and weakest vocal of her songs on the album. Anyone know why Lindsey sang it?

Rhiannon and Landslide are among Fleetwood Mac's finest efforts of all time.There's no way I would have voted for them.It leaves Crystal,I really like it but this song is just not equal to those two.
