could be because it's the most lindsey-sounding of her songs (which could also be why she maybe didn't like it). but the lyrics are pure stevie.

The standard version of Rumours now includes "Silver Springs"
Standard, my ass. Was it ever on any vinyl version, the, um, standard for eons?
Nor is it on the iTunes version of Rumours, the standard version right now. What the hell are they talking about?
My vote's for Gold Dust Woman.

Like, with Gold Dust, you can feel yourself waking up on the carpet and the bowl's cashed and you can't find your old lady and the party's fuckin' OVER, man...
To speak of it in the vernacular.

There's still time to vote for "Silver Springs" folks!

I go for Dreams. Because when drunk with friends it always gets played and it makes everyone v happy.

The Chain, partly because it's the only thing I can play on a guitar.

"GYOW" but mostly cos that scene with it in Casino when there's that sweeping shot of the desert and they're driving made me realise how great FM were. Too hard to pick properly, nearly anything on this is a sentimental fav and musically it's so good

Damn, only six votes.
― van smack, Friday, 15 June 2007 23:19 (seventeen years ago) link
for some reason, this is a total surprise, but..
Of course, odds are on "The Chain", "Go Your Own Way", or "Dreams" for scooping up the win...
...mentioning odds-on favorites in the original post should be outlawed!!

i love every song on this record, but surprised to see the chain so high and don't stop so low. have the clintons ruined it for everyone?
― electricsound, Saturday, 16 June 2007 01:49 (seventeen years ago) link
the chain does deserve props for being one of mick'n'john's few songwriting credits and keeping them in blow and headscarves for another day
― electricsound, Saturday, 16 June 2007 01:50 (seventeen years ago) link
You get me.
― kenan, Saturday, 16 June 2007 02:27 (seventeen years ago) link
I feel sorry for "Oh Daddy", which I think is a great track, so doomy!
That said if I was honest I'd admit that it wasn't anywhere near my favourite song on the album.
This is the problem with these Fleetwood Mac polls. They're kind of guilt inducing!
― Tim F, Saturday, 16 June 2007 03:45 (seventeen years ago) link
I've listened to quite a few episodes of the Song Exploder podcast, and this episode where Lindsay Buckingham breaks down "Go Your Own Way" is easily the most interesting one I've heard:http://songexploder.net/fleetwood-mac
He plays the demo version, isolates each singer on backing vocals, talks about how he couldn't get over Stevie, and overall sounds like much less of an egomaniac than I had assumed he was.

Tested bass amp at band practice tonight with iconic breakdown riff from “The Chain” by Fleetwood Mac. Dan Darragh not kidding: “That’s Big Black, right?!”— Juan Lederhosen (@JuanLederhosen) December 5, 2018

i had a hazy memory of this album being polled and "you make loving fun" winning. it's my pick, anyway. but i kinda dug the world in my head where that had quietly become the consensus favorite among us ILM types.

You're not wrong, "You Make Loving Fun" finished second in the other poll: How can it be that we have never polled RUMOURS by Fleetwood Mac?!
― maximum waste and minimum joy (oder doch?), Wednesday, 12 December 2018 14:05 (five years ago) link
Toss up between several songs for me (obviously), but really surprised to see GYOW winning it. One of the least interesting songs on the album IMO
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Thursday, 13 December 2018 14:19 (five years ago) link
"Dreams" and "You Make Loving fun" are the only songs I really like on this album.(I also like "Silver Springs" but it's not on the original album)I'm much more of a Tusk person !
― AlXTC from Paris, Thursday, 13 December 2018 16:02 (five years ago) link
That I enjoy this whole record goes without saying, yet 'You Make Loving Fun' is still my favourite track on this album by miles.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Thursday, 13 December 2018 23:09 (five years ago) link
I don’t really need to hear Dreams again for a long time. Fucking stop!

only reason one should revive and complain about "dreams" on this thread is because didn't win imho
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Saturday, 10 October 2020 03:57 (three years ago) link
am i wrong in remembering a moment in one of those 60 minute classic albums programs where lindsey plays the backing tracks to "gold dust woman"? i remember being really charmed at the bit of wickedness placed into the song and it helped revive my interest in that era of the band years back.

I voted YMLF in the original poll but "I Don't Wanna Know" is v. underrated.

Before my time here. My #1 would be the B-side, "Landslide." So that doesn't count. Probably "Silver Springs," but I still like "Go Your Own Way" and "Dreams" a lot. Not "Don't Stop." In high school, we ran onto the court to "Don't Stop," picked by the coach. (He later served as Clinton's campaign manager, I believe.) I kept asking if we could switch to Aerosmith's "Back in the Saddle." I remember running out to that at least once, so I had some measure of success.

So many covers of tunes from Rumors. I like Hole's take on Gold Dust Woman.

Afaik “Landslide” was a song on the previos self titled album not a b-side?
