All are lovely, but Only Over You has a weird intro and vocal.

This is another tough one for me. I know Mirage isn't a masterpiece, but I enjoy the whole thing so much...

I'll go with WYWH, I guess.

Wish You Were Here used to suck, but got a boost when they ganked the intro for The Dance version of Silver Springs.

Therefore, Only Over You gets my vote.

I love all of these songs. And I'm a person who can't find anything of Christine's on Rumours to like except Don't Stop. With this album, I feel completely different. I'd toss out Songbird before thinking of any of these 4 songs as a least favorite.

The only reason I could ax one of these songs is because Love In Store has that whole kitschy '50s sound to it that Lindsey's songs also exhibit on Mirage. So it had to go.

I really like Love In Store and Hold Me.

Don't like the other two as much so it was a flip up again - Only Over You won as my least favourite.

Wish You Were here isn't without its charm. Only Over You is just dismal. It seems to carry on the Chris "unbalanced boredom to entertainment ratio" that has become somewhat of her trademark for me.

I have always either loved Chris's songs or just been plain indifferent to them.

I do like her but I would have to say she's my least favourite of the songwriters.

Really these polls are a doddle for me, Lindsey is always going to come out favourite in any category.

The only difficulty is when it comes to having to vote for least fav Lindsey stuff

Only Over You.

Hold Me and Love In Store are great, and, like Bee said, Wish You Were Here has a certain charm to it. Only Over You bores me though.

I really can't stand "Love in Store." Its the only Christine song I feel that way about. It ranks up there with "That's Enough For Me" as one of my least favorite Mac songs. I adore OOY. Too bad its being slaughtered.

"Only Over You." I hate how she sings, "I'm *OUT* of my mind..." Yuck.

That and "One More Night" are the only two songs from her I truly despise.

WYWH -- OOY won out cuz I love the way she sings "Out"
