Yeah, they totally didn’t play up Lindsey leaving in the video or anything.

Welcome to the Room Sara wasn’t a hit because it was too excellent for radio.

Second Time Around was originally slated as the first single from BTM but the band feared it would be too successful and did not want a Rumours 2.

It’s interesting. I didn’t know this about the chart data. “Hold Me” has a big platform in the culture. But a few others rival it easily. I would say there are about ten Fleetwood Mac songs that still make waves — on the radio, in movies, on TV, among other artists, etc.

Thoughts?

I hear this one quite often. YMLF, Gypsy, Don't Stop, SYLM, GYOW are heard a lot more.

The songs I hear the most are Dreams, GYOW, Little Lies, The Chain, Everywhere, Gypsy, and—believe it or not—Over My Head.

But Hold Me, Don’t Stop, Rhiannon, Landslide, GDW, and even Songbird are not unusual.

I used to hear SYLM, Big Love, and Sara more than I do.

Hearing Dreams on Pandora. Magnificent song! The Mac at its' best!

When I See You Again was on the verge, but that damn Christine ruined everything once again!

Lindsey wanted to produce TITN with just Stevie, no Christine, because he wanted to recapture the inescapable magic of his musical soulmate.

In actual fact, he wanted to record and produce the album at Betty Ford so he could have the angst in their voices.
