Top Ten Best Fleetwood Mac Songs

Everyone in the band contributed to this. It was the only one off of Rumours where everyone added something. The result is a thumping acoustic tune that eventually builds up into one of the greatest fade-outs ever, with John McVie's unforgettable bassline.

This song is just so unique. There isn't another song like it. The bass part is easily within the top five bass lines of all time, to me rivaled only by Pink Floyd's Money and The Beatles' Come Together.

This song is probably the most memorable one for me. It builds up perfectly, and the bass and guitar at the end are A+. I love the eerie feeling of the song as well.

I personally prefer classic rock (preferably hard rock) over "yacht rock," and I exclusively listen to the male side of breakup songs. It's worse to get dumped by someone older, so this has to be my favorite Fleetwood Mac song.

This is a great driving track. It gives you that open-road, anything's-possible vibe. The live version is the best.

This song shows how great Lindsey Buckingham is as a singer, songwriter, and guitarist. His vocals, in particular, are just so raw and full of emotion. I would argue it's the best vocals on a Fleetwood Mac song, along with The Chain and Seven Wonders.

Aside from the fact that this song is the only one that reached number one in the U.S., it is amazing. The chords are simply breathtaking, and the lyrics are deep and heartfelt. Dreams is a lovely song and my personal favorite.

The vocals and instrumentation within this song make it their best song. I remember the Rumours album used to play on loop in our car when I was young. Good times with good songs.

Beautiful song, through and through. Great when you're happy, powerful when you're sad. All-around a genius piece of art. Timeless stuff.

No offense to the songs ranked above Landslide because they're great songs, particularly The Chain, but this will always be Mac's masterpiece to me. I think it's borne out in the number of artists who have done their versions of Landslide. No other Fleetwood Mac song has been redone like this one.

When you see clips of Stevie and Lindsey playing this song, you can see the special meaning behind it. I've played this song on guitar hundreds of times. Unlike most songs, it never gets old.

This is the song that got me hooked on Fleetwood Mac. There is so much undisclosed passion hidden in this song. When I listen to it, an array of memories and emotions come back to me, and the next time I listen to it, I get a totally different experience. Number one in my opinion, no doubt.

This is the best song ever. I love watching them play their songs, but this is their best. Stevie Nicks is a great singer, and this is like her signature song. I hope she keeps going like George Burns, until the day she dies.

Such a beautiful song. It paints such a vivid image for me of a woman who's just ethereal. Stevie is a blessing.

Definitely my favorite Fleetwood Mac song. Stevie's just a better writer.

Is it just me, or did Christine McVie have most of the band's more tear-jerking and melodically beautiful material? Ever since her introduction after the release of "Kiln House," she had gained a reputation for contributing to the band's ballads, such as the ending tracks to some albums. "Why" from "Mystery to Me" (1973) is a notable example, with the final lyrics of the album consisting of "You don't have to give up, why is it all wrong, why don't you love me, why don't you just be strong." A powerful message, indeed.

"Never Forget" from "Tusk" is another strong contender. But the most heart-rending has to be the final track of "Mirage," "Wish You Were Here." It hurts even more when you realize Christine has passed away. Now that she's gone, all we can do is treasure her memory.

No one can deny that this song makes you feel something so deep. It's not just a "good song" like the rest. It's a piece of life sliced right into a completely underrated album.

This was my favorite song growing up!

I get why people wouldn't choose this song. It's different from nearly all others, but it is brilliant. Proof? It's the only rock song that I know of that features a marching band, and it's cool! With all of its disparate elements, it, unlike many punk songs, comes together as a followable whole. Weird and brilliant!

Another Fleetwood Mac song that sounds like no other. Fleetwood Mac definitely doesn't get enough credit for how innovative they are.

Love it, along with many others. An amazing, fun song from the genius of Lindsey Buckingham!

A great intro. Great singing by Stevie. Great chorus. Great song. And from the best Fleetwood Mac album after Rumours.

A beautiful song! I think the song really fits Stevie Nicks' voice!

Even better once you watch the music video.

This is definitely top ten. Stevie Nicks is awesome, awesome, and more awesome. This is number three for me, behind Landslide and The Chain.

Did she make you cry? Make you break down? Shatter your illusions of love?

Amazing song, so dark and blunt, with a great beat. I love it. One of their best.

This is their feel-good song! The most optimistic and sweet declaration of love ever. It's impossible to listen to this song and not feel good.

You want a percentage, but I'm the fool paying the dues. I clearly remember the video in the desert. It's not my favorite song, but it's near their top 10. Being in the 30s is ridiculous.

This is my all-time favorite. I hear it and it gets stuck in my head (and soul) for days. Such a feel-good song.

Thought this would be higher... so beautiful.

Big Love deserves to be much higher. I love the way Lindsey rocks out when he does this song. He deserves as much credit for the success of this band as Stevie. Both are great! Keep on rocking.

This song has such a hyped melody, it's amazing. You have to listen to it quite a bit before you love it. It's definitely an acquired taste.

This song is unfathomably catchy. This is probably the Fleetwood Mac song that makes me want to dance the most.

One of my favorite songs ever. It amazes me how Lindsey Buckingham can keep all the fingerpicking so clean. Just beautiful guitar.

This song is so upbeat and quirky. It's my favorite song to listen to when I'm having a bad day.

Such a great guitar sound to it. I love it a lot and think it should be ranked higher.

Best female vocal performance. It cannot be replicated, not even by Stevie Nicks herself. A truly magical recording. It's a shame it was only a B-side.

I will follow you down 'til the sound of my voice will haunt you. It doesn't really get more stirring than that.

This song should be number one! So beautiful!

Say what? Second Hand News isn't in the top ten? This is one of the greatest songs they ever recorded! It's a distinct blend of rock, pop, country, and traditional Celtic jigs. It even has a "Jive Talking" Bee Gees beat under it all, and, due to Buckingham's brilliant composition, it works.

I saw the song dissected by Buckingham on "The Making of Rumours" DVD, and it was astounding. It also features a great lead vocal by Buckingham and beautiful Buckingham/Nicks harmonizing. It's a fun song that never fails to get the audience up and moving when played live.

"Heroes Are Hard to Find" in general deserves a bit of a mention, as the whole album carries the same psychedelic sound as "Hypnotized." However, it permeates the entire album.

1974 was when the band was at the start of their internal drama issues that would only escalate once Lindsey and Stevie joined, so it's not surprising that this is one of the group's heaviest and darkest albums. It still retains that West Coast soft rock sound with songs like the title track, "Come a Little Bit Closer," and "She's Changing Me." But the lyrical themes on a lot of songs, like "Bermuda Triangle" and "Born Enchanter," are much darker, contrasting the more lighthearted approach of Mystery to Me's tracks.

Bob Welch would leave the group at the end of 1974, so it seems appropriate that the album has some great Welch-sung tracks to close out his tenure with the band.
