It's always sounded more like "Transmission" in vibe/tempo/urgency to me
― Clarke B., Thursday, 26 July 2012 19:37 (eleven years ago) link
Stevie Nicks usually says in interviews that she saw a road sign for Silver Spring when she was in Virginia.
I think on the "Classic Albums" DVD re Rumours, she says they were in Maryland.
She probably could have done something with "Crystal City", come to think of it.

The Chain was my #1, Silver Springs my #2...so I really couldn't have helped it a whole lot. (In fact, Silver Springs is probably my actual #1 irl, but there was some discouraging talk of The Chain in the voting thread and I wanted to give it a bump.)

You Make Loving Fun won the Rumours poll. ya?
Love those clavs and the rhodes in unison...

xp I've heard her say both Virginia and Maryland, but more often Virginia.
I'm guessing she was traveling through Silver Spring en route to the Capital Centre in Largo, Maryland on the '75-76 tour.

yeah i was actually worried Never Going Back Again wasn't going to make the list, wtf me xp

Best Song on Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours"How can it be that we have never polled RUMOURS by Fleetwood Mac?!
― queequeg (peter grasswich), Thursday, 26 July 2012 19:41 (eleven years ago) link
xp or maybe Fleetwood Mac played a surprise show at my high school that's been lost to history....

The "aah aaah aaah" three part harmonies on YMLF are celestial.

"I just picked up my guitar (since I don't have a bass) ..."
No disrespect, but I really did mean bass when I said bass. There's something about that line that just rolls off the fingers on a long-scale four string.
― Three Word Username, Thursday, 26 July 2012 19:42 (eleven years ago) link
There were at least 15 great songs that wouldn't fit on my ballot (including what I think will be #1) and "Never Going Back Again" and "You Make Loving Fun" were amongst them.

Big, BIG ILM fave here... I thought I might take first before I ran the poll:
#4: "Sara" (Stevie Nicks, 1979) 608 points, 21 votes, 5 number one votes

love sara, didn't think it'd be this high at all
― NASCAR, surfing, raising chickens, owning land (zachlyon), Thursday, 26 July 2012 19:48 (eleven years ago) link
Or a very early demo of Tusk w/ your school's marching band.
― collardio gelatinous, Thursday, 26 July 2012 19:48 (eleven years ago) link
Muy Bien fuera del top 10 no es muy bueno.
I thought Sara would win this.
― Moka, Thursday, 26 July 2012 19:49 (eleven years ago) link
I am surprised it's not higher
― how's life, Thursday, 26 July 2012 19:49 (eleven years ago) link
I could have easily made an all-great-stuff ballot from the first three B/N albums alone, but i'm glad i left some space for Kirwan and Welch
― Lee626, Thursday, 26 July 2012 19:50 (eleven years ago) link
So, we've got Rhiannon, Dreams, what else?
― how's life, Thursday, 26 July 2012 19:50 (eleven years ago) link
Wow, I expected "Sara" to take it as well. Not just their best, one of THE best of all-time imo.
― Legendary General Cypher Raige (Gukbe), Thursday, 26 July 2012 19:51 (eleven years ago) link
I guess that means Go Your Own Way or Rhiannon will take this?
― Moka, Thursday, 26 July 2012 19:51 (eleven years ago) link
You guys know what's coming if you think about it...
― Clarke B., Thursday, 26 July 2012 19:51 (eleven years ago) link
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.

my guess is 3 Dreams2 Go Your Own Way1 Rhiannon
― Vic Perry, Thursday, 26 July 2012 19:52 (eleven years ago) link
GYOW, or as I like to call it, GTFO
― something of an astrological coup (tipsy mothra), Thursday, 26 July 2012 19:53 (eleven years ago) link
always figured GYOW would take this
― NASCAR, surfing, raising chickens, owning land (zachlyon), Thursday, 26 July 2012 19:53 (eleven years ago) link
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.

Simon Reynolds' take on Sara (and Tusk) - probably the key piece that led me to become a disciple
― Ismael Klata, Thursday, 26 July 2012 19:54 (eleven years ago) link
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>

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.
― something of an astrological coup (tipsy mothra), Thursday, 26 July 2012 19:56 (eleven years ago) link
"Go Your Own Way" seems to mainstream Mac dilletante to be ILM's #1, but who knows?
― Lee626, Thursday, 26 July 2012 19:56 (eleven years ago) link
All of the long 70s live versions of Rhiannon are essential

As this poll winds down, can I just say... what a band.
― collardio gelatinous, Thursday, 26 July 2012 19:57 (eleven years ago) link
I had no idea 'go your own way' was that popular over here. I don't think I even voted for it.
