rumours 45,521 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 WE ARE DOWN TO OUR TOP 2!! Before I release the results, here's something really interesting that happened.

rumours 45,521 Posted January 12, 2018 Author Share Posted January 12, 2018 #2 Dreams Score: 9.70  Highest Score: 11 @PunkTheFunk @badgirlmeat @Ronk Lowest Score: 6 @Oriane  Comments: @Edge of Fame: âPure perfection. Queen Stevie giving us that witchy poetic imagery and some super dreamy vocals. Love the hypnotic backing vocals and production as well!â @PunkTheFunk: âI would give this a 1000 if I could. One of my favorite songs by any artist, periodâ @GypsyHeartGaga: âAn absolutely beautiful song, often helps me with anxiety.â @That J: âStevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham brought an enormous amount of talent to Fleetwood Mac, a band already renowned in their own right. But leave it to Stevie to pen some of the most classic songs of the day. Dreams is one of those songs. A huge hit and a staple of both her solo and Mac shows, Dreams has proven itself an eternal masterpiece.â @blackcoffee: âQuintessential Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks. John's bass work is so good and groovy. Mick's drumming perfectly moving for this track. Lindsey's guitar work is just ethereal working around Stevie's vocals, which are perfect for this song. Christine's vibes are perfectly timed in the song and make it even more magical. This album had a tumultuous creation, especially with the breaking up between Stevie and Lindsey. I love the back and forth that happens lyrically between their two perspectives. This perspective is similar but so different to the one Lindsey gave us in Second Hand News. Dreams is a sunny California jam that is lazy, hazy, and groovy. It's magical and like a dream.â @Oriane: âSweet and slow, it sounds good but it could be a bit more powerful.â @fayecuntaway: âOne of my favorites on this record. This song gives me a sweet feeling, a comforting feeling, I don't know, the melody makes me hopeful if that makes any sense, Stevie's vocals and lyrics sure have something to do with itâ @calmar: Interesting choice to come after SHN at least sonically.â @that juju: âSo many memories with this one, while it may not technically be the *best* song here, it typically lends itself to being tied for favorite tbh. Poetic brilliance.â  Special Live Performance:   AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THE SONG THAT WON THE MEGARATE...  #1 The Chain Score: 9.82  Highest Score: 11 @blackcoffee @Oriane @fayecuntaway @that juju Lowest Score: 7 @calmar  Comments: @Edge of Fame: âThe TENSION. LAWD. Tbh Iâd die for this song. Talented. Brilliant. Incredible. Amazing. Show stopping. Spectacular. Never the same. Totally unique. Completely not ever been done before.â @GypsyHeartGaga: âThis is my favorite Fleetwood Mac song to bop to, it's so good.â @That J: âThis is tied with my 11 but I could only pick one so oh well.  No other song better defines Fleetwood Mac than The Chain! This is another song that had a resurgence when the Mac reunited after many years for a performance and ultimately a tour, The Dance.  This has to be heard live to fully appreciate each note. It's hard hitting solid declaration "Never break the chain!" ended up becoming a prophecy as the band still goes strong today.â @blackcoffee: âThis is my absolute favorite on the album. WOW! The Chain is just a beast of a song. It starts off with this haunting and dark sound unlike anything else on the album thus far. A kicking bass drum starts it off with this almost country-like guitar playing. I always get the picture of this dark, dusty highway in the middle of a desert with a storm kicking up in the distance. Then you can faintly here the almost psychedelic organ playing of McVie. It's cinematic and then the full harmony verses start. Holy ****! So good. The bass in the chorus is so perfectly punctuating with their layered vocal back and forths. You feel the frustration of this chain of love. Did I mention their perfect harmonies in the verses!? Damn. It's such an interesting song because it combines this hard rock sound with folk and country sounds and vocal deliveries and it's just perfect. Then comes John McVie's bass solo and the building tempo this amazing guitar work by Lindsey. It's a perfect build to the outro. It's dark, it's hard, and man...I cannot even put into words how good this song is.â @Oriane: âI love it, it has a really good progression, the chorus explodes but not too much, it still has a quiet vibe. And the end is great.â @fayecuntaway: âIt makes me want to be an old rockstar with a rusty voice, drunk on whiskey, singing at the top of my lungs until my neck veins pop. Such a great song. Loves it.â @calmar: âA slow song I like (funny, considering for Songbird I said I just donât like them.) It has a good beat and a catchy chorus.â @that juju: âMy favorite, to this day. It's got that immediate visceral feel to it, it's timeless, it's flawless, it's everything and more.â  Special Live Performance:    Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES THERE ARE I SWEAR I think my scores tend to be lower than most people's just in general (songs I like get 7s, not really 10s, unless I really really love them), and I don't tend to give scores between 1 - 3 unless I hate a song. I gave my 11 to the song that got seventh place So I'm not a hater I'm just different!!!!1  P.S. Of course I gave the lowest score to the best-scoring song äżșăźćć©ăŻæșăăăȘă Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
