Were Rhiannon and Sara written by Nicks the greatest songs Fleetwood Mac put out?

[Dottleshead ★]

No doubt Lindsey Buckingham got a hold of them and took it to the next level. What say you?

Fleetwood Mac? Seriously?

I’d have to go with Go Your Own Way as number one.  Landslide resonates with me too.  So many good songs and everyone has their favorites so there are really no wrong answers.

Soooo many good ones. I always turn up the volume when Sara is on the radio.

Good song!  There is probably some gem from the Peter Green era but I can’t retrieve any from my rusty steel trap at the moment.

Are you sure that is snot a James Brown song?

Ahh, Elmore  James.

Hellbound was written by Robert Johnson, but Peter Green wrote Black Magic Woman - yay!

An Elmore James composition. Released as side B of “Look On Yonder Wall”. Notable covers include Fleetwood Mac, George Thorogood, and the Black Crowes. James Brown’s version doesn’t seem to be the same song, just the same name.

Oh, you were serious?   

[TrentonMakes]

All great songs mentioned here... There has always been something about "Sara" that really hit me, especially that eerie, dreamlike middle section with those backing vocals, almost ghostly - I imagine it's what Odysseus' Sirens sounded like.

No I wasn’t serious. I’d probably give the nod to Rhiannon.

I remember seeing them perform "Rhiannon" on the Midnight Special. I was instantly smitten by Stevie. I was 14 at the time and just starting to form my own musical tastes. The Chain is probably my favorite of theirs right now. I did like Tusk. I think that album is under appreciated.

Another Nicks song.
