"Why" should win because it is so classic Christine and sounds so good played really loud!

You are right. I DO think this is- by far- the toughest final two songs, of ALL the Survivors we've played, to decide on. A tie would be GREAT! That's not possible, right?

No, no tie. I think Mary Anne and I already worked something out about how "Why" is going to win no matter what happens.

So, did you address my question in the "gross" thread. I got an idea...but then I realized it would be a bad one.

Default "Hypnotized" for the win
I hate jumping in on just the final round (well, ok, I did on the Bare Trees Survivor too), but it was so obvious these would be the two finalists it was hardly worth getting in on this before.

"Why" might very well be Christine's finest song, as several here have pointed out. But to me, it's the best among a number of very good songs she wrote that are not all that different in style. "Hypnotized" though......it's totally unlike anything FM have ever done, before or since. It's freaky, it's out there. Tough choice, but I give "Hypnotized" the edge.

"Show Me A Smile"
"Spare Me A Little Of Your Love"
"Come A Little Bit Closer"
"Over My Head"
Those five songs always seemed to have a similar "feel" to me, even though I realize there are notable differences between them too. But I think of those five as Christine's "classic" songs, from what I think was her best period of songwriting. And I don't mean to say that those are necessarily her five best all-time songs, but they best represent what I think of as her classic song style. Not sure if I'm making myself clear, and obviously it's all subjective anyway.

I expect "Why" will win this Survivor in any case, but I think you could make a good case that "Why" and "Hypnotized" are FM's two best post-Green / pre-B&N songs - tough to choose between them.

We have a winner!

Why-10
Hypnotized-6

Why is the winner. I agree with sharksfan2000 that these 2 songs are the best Fleetwood Mac songs pre-1975 & in my opinion, at least in the case of "Why" the best Fleetwood Mac song ever.

Thanks to everyone for participating & thanks also to Hillary for talking me into doing this.
