Fleetwood Mac -- "Big Love"

Fleetwood Mac -- "Sara"
Fleetwood Mac -- "Say You Love Me"

DON: Our bands wound down around the same time, so to me it was both educational and inspirational to see Robert Plant in a solo career that both made a pull from his past while moved forward into a realm Zeppelin never occupied.

GLENN: We were all about the pulling of our own "Big Logs" back then, ifyoucatchmydrift.

DON: Well, yeah.

"Heart of Gold" is as soft rock as they come, but how could it be excluded?
