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.

Cant remember if I voted but “ Never Going Back Again” for me.

That said Dreams >>>> Go Your Own Way

― Western® with Bacon Flavor,

Yes -- the mix is rich.

"Dreams" slaps, et al.

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?

It is...not sure why I thought it--did it ever turn up as a B-side?

clemenza, Saturday, 10 October 2020 20:41 (three years ago) link

I believe “silver spring” was a bside that was inserted into Rumours when the CD came out?

brimstead, Saturday, 10 October 2020 20:55 (three years ago) link

That's it then, I'm getting the two mixed up. It was "Silver Springs" I discovered years later.

Silver Springs was left off the album because the overall length (at that time) would have meant sacrificing the bass response by narrowing the grooves.

Of course on CD that doesn't matter so it was restored.

i love "dreams" and i think it's cool that it's becoming a hit for the second time

If we count covers and remixes this is actually like the fifth time “dreams” is a hit.
