It's crisp, succinct, it jams, it collaborates the two talented writers, it feels like the album cover, it shows goat twirl in fast forward and reverse!!

Landslide
Never Going Back Again
Save Me A Place
Oh Diane
When I See You Again

I’ve always considered Tango my favorite album, but I just really love about half of the songs and skip the other half. Mirage was hardest to choose a least favorite song from - it’s never been one of my favorite albums, but it doesn’t have any tracks that I always skip.

I like your picks. I could skip all those songs. Studio Landslide is my favorite. Hearing it live to me is now like nails on a chalkboard.

When I became a fan in 1993 Tango already sounded hysterically dated and oh so plastic, as you stated. However, sometime in the past 10 years or so I feel like Tango has come full circle. Perhaps because I listen to a lot of indie pop and rock music, which over the past decade has heavily referenced 80s synth. Songs like Caroline which used to sound so cringey to me now come off as chic and sophisticated.

Anyway, here’s my list of least favs by album:

Crystal (lovely song, but sounds ridiculous with Lindsey singing it)
Don’t Stop (it’s just hokey, particularly the production)
What Makes You Think You’re the One (that intro is just obnoxious, especially following the dreamy Sara)
Oh Diane (just no…)
Family Man (okay, the production on this one is still awful)

Interesting how every song I chose had Lindsey as a singer. While I arguably respect Lindsey the most musically, his constant boundary pushing and experimentation didn’t always result in timeless or even good music.

Ok, I'll replace Isn't It Midnight with When I See You again.
Dont apologize to Sister Honey. He listed a bunch of Chris songs. Chris IS Fleetwood Mac. That top hat and scarf routine of his is getting old.

Look bitch, it's your time of year. Get on that broom and ride into the sunset.

Chris IS FM. However, I follow no one with blinders. What if she also had my favorite song from every album? What does that mean? That I can scrutinize albums on a track by track basis, without spinning around dressed in chiffon like a drunken sailor, blindly praising a turd like it just crawled out of $tevie's butthole? My criticisms are honest.

Now get your broom tuned up, honey...

I agree with you that Tango is the least fave but you need to be placed in an isolation chamber and be forced fed Warm Ways. How can you say C McVie is your fave Macster and hate that song? Warm Ways is the very best song on that entire White album!

There's no bad song on the White album
Songbird
Never Make Me Cry
Only Over Ewe
You & I part 2 (part one sucks too). But then Louie reminded me how much I have always loathed Oh Diane.

It just sounds SO DATED. Even back then. The tom tom drum fills are what ruin it for me.

Sleep.... ba da da da dum, easy by my side. That's CHEESE BALL production.

Not that I love them, but I do like both songs.
