You Make Polling Fun: FLEETWOOD MAC POLL RESULTS, ILM Artist Poll #22

I guess that means Go Your Own Way or Rhiannon will take this?

You guys know what's coming if you think about it...

Love the brushwork with which Mick ushers in the band right after Stevie's "but you never told me about the fire")...

Oh ,GYOW, of course. Got it.

You make loving fun? has it placed yet?

my guess is
3 Dreams
2 Go Your Own Way
1 Rhiannon

GYOW, or as I like to call it, GTFO

always figured GYOW would take this

I will say this: there is a bigger number-of-votes gap between "Sara" and the next song than between any other two consecutive songs in the poll... The top three really earned their places.

#3: "Rhiannon" (Stevie Nicks, 1975) - 642 points, 26 votes, 1 number one vote

Simon Reynolds' take on Sara (and Tusk) - probably the key piece that led me to become a disciple

Dreams will take it I reckon. I've never rated Go Your Own Way for some reason - wasn't on my ballot at all. <waits 5 minutes to be proved wrong as usual>

GYOW, or as I like to call it, GTFO

Hamlet liked to call it GTTAN.

my guess is
3 Dreams
2 Go Your Own Way
1 Rhiannon

― Vic Perry

Im guessing this but reversed.

Oh there we go.

I'm Mystified as to why my #1 isn't even going to make the top 60.

Wow, Stevie's heel could kill a man! (Re that picture)

I've never cared much for Christine McVie's air-freshener tones.

Damn you Reynolds.

I was the number 1 vote for "Rhiannon." Wouldn't have expected that when I started to think about the poll, but I realized that when I think "Fleetwood Mac" the first thing that comes to mind is the snaky little "Rhiannon" riff.

"Go Your Own Way" seems to mainstream Mac dilletante to be ILM's #1, but who knows?

All of the long 70s live versions of Rhiannon are essential

As this poll winds down, can I just say... what a band.

I had no idea 'go your own way' was that popular over here. I don't think I even voted for it.

It'll be neck-and-neck

It's funny because in junior high at the height of my mania I thought as Dreams as the sequel to Rhiannon, although today I might like it more. The song I really cared about was I Don't Wanna Know. My favorite Buckingham was Second Hand News. And my favorite favorites were always the Christine songs anyway.

yin and yang xp

I hate playing an open string if I can avoid it

Just catching up...still don't really get the love for Sara, but Rhiannon is great (I scored it low because I knew it wasn't in any real danger of missing the top ten).

Marcello's no McVie fan either. What's with the Britcrit allergy to her?

In total agreement, Johnny. Sara is just sort of "meh" for me...

"I hate playing an open string if I can avoid it"

Difference btw. Ismael and John McVie no. 347.

'Rhiannon' is the song that got me into the band in the first place, one of my all-time favourites.

Chicken Shack residue? xpsts

Take out Stevie's vocal on Sara and you've got incidental music from Hill Street Blues.

Haha xp! Admittedly it does sound better on two strings.

It's very "Mike Post".

incidental music from Hill Street Blues that would get the composer canned

#2: "Go Your Own Way" (Lindsey Buckingham, 1977) - 678 points, 26 votes, 2 number one votes

TOO LOW

wouldn't have been my #1 but damn. count me in the "still don't get the love for Sara"/"could live without McVie" camp. but hey, the Mac's got something for everyone.

Well, you know what Lindsey always says about FM: "a whole greater than the sum of its parts"...

NO! SHOULDA BEEN NUMBER ONE

that pic is amazing

GYOW slays me on drumming alone.

one of my favorite karaoke duet songs (the other being dont you want me by human league)

Yeah, drumming, lyrics, phrasing, everything. Don't know the point differential yet, but if I find out making this #1 vs. The Chain would've helped it, I'll be sad.

3 out of the 4 top songs by Stevie Nicks is.... go on, douse me with belladonna.

dreams strikes me as a weird #1

THE WINNER!

#1: "Dreams" (Stevie Nicks, 1977) - 707 points, 28 votes, 4 number one votes
