Even worse than Stevie wailing whassa matter baby… baby… BABY!

These two songs automatically drop the album 2 stars from most critics. I really doubt anyone from Fleetwood Mac but Lindsey actually played on Family Man.

I’m not trying to be a jerk, just giving an honest answer about why some folks hate the song so much.

I love everything about Family Man except the lyrics. It’s like he came up with this really great instrumental and then had 2 minutes to throw some random words on top of it.

Yes I think of it basically as one of his solo songs as well.

I can see how the repeated lyrics could be annoying.
I guess I like the breathy, percussive and hyper-engineered way he sings them, in such a way that it's more like an instrument than talking. Doesn't bear comparison with Stevie's phoned-in aural nightmares in WISYA.

Just reminded myself that You & I Pt II is not a fave of mine. Add it to the list. Too Copacobana for me and not the right closer for he album it turned into. I can see how it would have worked on the solo album he would have otherwise put out.
