What's The WORST Fleetwood Mac US Top 40 Single

Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?

 

I voted for "Save Me". I think it's actually not a bad tune, pretty much in line with other Christine McVie uptempo numbers. But it is sunk by that bad late 80s/early 90s production style, as well as the replacement guitarists' vocals not blending well with Christine and Stevie (the harmonies for this version of FM never quite gelled).

 

Don't Stop is just ok to me at best. I really like all of the other songs.

 

I went with Save Me, just because of the video, my first thought was Seven Wonders.

 

Say You Love Me

Something about that song really gets on my nerves. It's not the lyrics - it is the music

 

I didn't realize that "Love In Store" made it in the Top 40.

 

"Save Me" gets my vote, although I admit for having a soft spot for that album's "Skies The Limit," and two or three other tracks on that LP.

Looking at that list though reminds me what a hell of a singles run that was.

 

dont stop or save me.

 

I voted for Rhiannon. It's catchy, yet it bores me to death.

 

I don't really know all their singles well enough to vote, but I love "Hold Me", always thought it was a great single

 

What a great list. I had to go with 7 Wonders. I don't really like anything about it. Save Me is at least pleasantly uptempo.

 

I voted for Don't Stop. And for a similar discussion (but in the opposite direction), here's my thread from a few years ago on everyone's FAVORITE Fleetwood Mac top 40 singles. http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threa...illboard-top-40-hits-by-fleetwood-mac.247709/

 

What a great list. My "least best" is "Gypsy," mainly because it got old fast. It's not bad, I just don't find it as good as the others.

In a related category, during this time period, Fleetwood Mac had only a couple singles that didn't make the Top 40, and my favorite of those is "The Farmer's Daughter," their stellar remake of the early Beach Boys album cut, which didn't even make the Hot 100!

 

Or only a testament to your personal taste?

 

"save me" because its the one i didn't remember off the top of my head

 

Ouch...missed out on picking Don't Stop. Extremely bland song in conception, performance and production.

 

There is no worst with Fleetwood Mac.

Pardon the threadcrap.

 

A run of great singles indeed, but I reach for the dial every time "Gypsy" comes on. And I like Stevie; I just find the music boring.

 

Both, I guess. I know I don't always like all of the hits by music acts I enjoy more than the Mac, e. g. "My Way" or "Michelle." I'm kind of struck by the songs on the poll, that given their diversity and (more critically) radio overplay, there isn't a more obvious choice than the bland but inoffensive "Save Me."

 

Rhianon for me. Even a kickass rock band like Fleetwood Mac can't spruce up Stevie Nicks pop drivel enough to make it palatable.

 

"Bermuda Triangle"

 

My vote too. Hate hate hate that song

Gypsy

 

Tusk. Annoying as s***.

 

That song does sound a bit like it's calculated for radio play. Guess it's the only one not featuring Buckingham also.
