You cheated LOL but amazingly enough, a lot of the two songs you chose I am in complete agreement with! I really only have albums from FM to Buck/Vie, so I can only pick from those:

Landslide or Crystal
Go Your Own Way or the Chain
Brown Eyes or Sara
Book of Love or Eyes of the World
Little Lies or Isn’t It Midnight
Save Me or In the Back of My Mind
Thrown Down
Carnival Begin or On With the Show

Come on now, no one ever cheats on this board

But seriously picking a favorite song from an entire album is pretty hard especially when you have different singers on the same album. From the white album on it would be easier to pick a favorite from each singer

[Macfan4life]

Let me try this and stick to the rules. I am only doing from Mystery to Me on.

Mystery to Me: Why
Heroes: Come A Little Bit Closer
Fleetwood Mac: World Turning
Rumours: You Make Loving Fun - Go Your Own Way (tie)
Tusk: Think About Me
Fleetwood Mac Live: Over and Over
Mirage: Straight Back (if Smile at You made the record then it would be Smile at you...an angry Stevie sounds so good)
Tango: Isn't It Midnight
BTM: Back of My Mind
Time: Nights in Estoril
The Dance: Everywhere
Say You Will: Running through the Garden
BuckVie: Red Sun


Honorable mentions: I think Oh Daddy has the most trippy Fleetwood Mac sound with the organ and guitar. Its the best musical track but not the best song (if that makes sense). Hold Me is the best FM single. Sara on the Live album is perfection but annoyed it is studio touched. Too Far Gone on BuckVie also is an honorable mention but I can live with my original list.

The lonely castanet gets me every time. IMHO Chris's most beautiful organ lines and most profound Lindsey guitar merged together. I wish the song had 12 minutes of play out.

You’re absolutely right. I think picking a favorite song from each singer/songwriter per album is a great idea, and you should go first!

The only problem for me with that idea is from the FM album- Landslide and Crystal are my two favorite songs from that album, and even though Stevie sings Landslide and Lindsey sings Crystal, she wrote them both. Honestly, I would consider Crystal a Lindsey song, even though she wrote it.

Are you Mitzo in disguise? With the half exception of World Turning, you didn't pick a single Lindsey song.

That's it. I'm sending you a Lindsey dart board for Christmas!

I was not aware English is not your primary language. What did you learn in those Indiana schools besides how to bale hay. I picked Go Your Own Way on Rumours. Even the songs that Lindsey did not write, my picks showcase some of his best playing and arrangement in the songs.
Instead of being an armchair Peyton Manning, how about being brave enough to participate in the challenge. I'm mailing you a top hat and scarf for Christmas. You seem as disorientated as her.

Lindsey's songs are just no good. Nope, my list is all Stevie songs, even for the pre-BN albums.

Tiny font on my phone, so I missed it. Especially since it wasn't listed first.
I will spin around on my coffee table with that hat and scarf, drinking PBR and whiskey shots, until I hit the floor. Just like $tevie.

I understand, because I was just gonna say that my favorite songs from the recent albums are all Dave Walker numbers.

Thoughts?
