Very! Thanks for posting!

1. Landslide

Now, is this the Dance version, the white album version, or both together?

2. Dreams
3. The Chain
4. Rhiannon
5. Go Your Own Way
6. Gold Dust Woman
7. Gypsy

Interesting, I'd not have guessed "Gold Dust Woman" would be above the likes of "Gypsy" (or "Silver Springs," for that matter).

8. Second Hand News
9. Silver Springs
10. Sara
11. Never Going Back Again
12. Songbird
13. Say You Love Me
14. Little Lies
15. Hypnotized
16. Don't Stop

It pleases to end to see that "Hypnotized" is not only so high up on the list, but that it also beats "Don't Stop." This is one pre-75 song that I'd love to see the current band tackle in concert. Not that that would ever happen. Ever.

17. Tusk
18. Monday Morning
19. Everywhere
20. You Make Loving Fun
21. Over My Head
22. Hold Me
23. Sentimental Lady

Again, nice to see a Bob Welch tune so high up on the list, especially when his solo version was a much bigger hit (though I've always preferred the Mac version, particularly because of Christine's vocals).

24. I Don't Want to Know
25. World Turning
26. Peacekeeper
27. Say You Will
28. Seven Wonders
29. Warm Ways
30. Bleed to Love Her
31. Oh Well
32. I'm So Afraid
33. Blue Letter
34. Big Love
35. Thrown Down

Which begs the question once again, why didn't they play this up as a single, or perform it in concert?

36. Crystal
37. Tell Me All the Things You Do

Weird! What on earth is this doing so high up on the list?

38. Spare Me a Little of Your Love
39. Bare Trees
40. As Long as You Follow
41. No Questions Asked
42. For Your Love

I've always thought this could have been a huge hit. Dammit, Weston...

43. Storms
44. Black Magic Woman
45. I'm Coming to Stay

Umm... Anyone?

46. I Loved Another Woman
47. Shake Your Moneymaker
48. Goodbye Baby
49. Steal Your Heart Away
50. Sweet Home Chicago

How bizarre. I assume this is the BBC version, because I don't know of any others, but why would it be so high up on this list? It's not even that great a performance.

And where's "Albatross?" And "Oh Daddy" (the only Rumours track not listed)?

This might be a stretch but I'm guessing they are not in the Top 50.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. That's why they weren't included in the "Top 50" list that was posted.

I realize they're obviously not in the top 50. I was just expressing my surprise at that fact and wondering where they are further down the list.

[DavidMn]

I'm surprised Gypsy wasnt higher.

[gldstwmn]

Hmm... 7 out of the top ten belong to Stevie.

I'm not surprised by that.

I'm not either but some people might be.

Songbird is at Number 12. I would have expected something a bit poppier to be honest.

Yeah, I agree with you there.

[crylove77]

Eh, I don't know. I know quite a few people who are not really FM fans who used Songbird as a wedding song. So I can see how it would be near the top. That's how I got most of my wedding music...downloading.

Okay, seriously, though, does anyone have any idea what "I'm Coming To Stay" is? It's certainly not a Fleetwood Mac song title; in fact, I don't think it's a song title for anyone. Could it be a misnomer for "Coming Your Way"?

But she's much less common beyond that, interestingly. Outside the top ten, she doesn't show up again until #24. She's got fifteen total, if you count "Crystal" as a Stevie song.

Lindsey and Christine aren't too far behind: Christine has 11.5 (counting "World Turning" as a half) and dominates the latter half of the top 20, and Lindsey's got the same (again, counting "World Turning" as a half), though his songs are much more spread otu throughout the list.
