I like ALL Christine’s songs. All of them. Not a single dud. Her lowest are still 7/10

Well, take your book and my lube and XX XXXX XXXXXXXX!

I don't hate Wassamatta, Family Man, or Sugar Daddy.
In fact, Sugar Daddy is the greatest, FUNKIEST, FM song of all time.

And Why is one of the best songs they ever recorded.

I am out of lube, it was a crazy weekend. Please send me more by DHL.

And just in case my point has nothing to do with defining the best songs. I am not a professional musician so I can't comment about songs technical aspects. I meant about the songs I LIKE the most. Two completely different things.

Spit will do in a pinch.

Why is just the feeling of the song. The sadness of the lyrics. The buildup towards the end. All of it. Perfection.

The first ever released 'The Best Of Fleetwood Mac' had The Purple Dancer included (their greatest song ever).
This new release has not...

Can someone tell me 'Why'?

The usual FM sloppiness is already present: the CD track listing claims that 'The Green Manalishi (With the Two Prong Crown)' comes from 'Then Play On 1969'.

PS: yes, I know about the 2013 remaster...

Agreed! She was a quiet powerhouse of a musician and composer.

Alex Petridis always writes well and this this article is no exception. Inevitably, and boringly for many, there's one notable omission and I have to wonder Why that is

I would post a comment on the Guardian, but I'm banned from there after they took exception to my views on gender issues.
