fun welcome to watchmojo.com and today
we’re counting down our picks for the
top 10 Fleetwood Mac songs
for this list we’ve chosen our entries
based on a combination of the artists
fan favorites and their most
commercially successful songs
number ten
Big Love in the nightosphere
originally written for an aborted solo
album this Lindsey Buckingham penned
song is built around the guitarists
trademark finger picking a style which
set him apart from his predecessors in
the group
Big Love has also noted for its love
grunts both sets of which are performed
by buckingham himself despite being a
top five hit in the United States
Fleetwood Mac didn’t perform the song
live until 1997 as Buckingham had quit
the band shortly before their 1987 tour
since then the pop rock number has
become a live standard and a crowd
favorite
number nine tusks
he’s going to stay
he’s gone away following the massive
success of rumors the Mac and Lindsey
Buckingham especially were eager to
cover new ground with that in mind he
did the logical thing and hired a
marching band to guest on the title
track of their 12th LP
with the 300 strong Trojan marching band
toss holds the all-time record for the
most musicians ever to appear on a
single
weird and downright spooky the prog-rock
tune proved the group could be
successful without repeating themselves
number eight everywhere although its
parent album began as a Lindsey
Buckingham solo project Christine McVie
certainly carried her weight in the
songwriting department
you
baby
decidedly more pop than previous Mac
hits this can go in the night single
nonetheless hit number one on the US
adult contemporary chart
the tune was also a top 20 hit on the
Billboard Hot 100 and was one of the
last singles to feature the classic
rumors Errol ina
number seven little lies
co-written by Christine McVie this
keyboards heavy soft rock number hit
number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and
is also to date the band’s last American
top-ten hit
oh no no
however since Buckingham quit the band
shortly before they were set to tour on
the new album Billy Burnette would fill
in during live performances while Ric
Vito would pick up the slack in the
guitar department
number six don’t stop
not many bends regroup under
presidential order
and number three hit in 1977 the
Christine McVie penned pop rocker took
on a new life in 1992 when it was used
as a campaign song by eventual US
President Bill Clinton
after spoiler alert winning the election
Clinton requested the classic 70s lineup
to perform at his inauguration the
Reformation didn’t immediately stick but
it did eventually lead to a full reunion
tour and live album
number five landslides
I took my love to
Mountain and I too
written prior to our joining the group
when she was thinking about giving up on
music this introspective acoustic guitar
driven ballad introduced the world to
Stevie Nicks and a whole new Fleetwood
Mac well I’m afraid of Jay
although not released as a single
landslide is a concert staple and a
later live version hit the top 60 of the
Billboard Hot 100 over two decades
following its appearance on the band’s
self-titled tenth record if you see my
reflection snow-covered Hills where the
land
folk rock tune has been covered numerous
times including versions from Smashing
Pumpkins and the Dixie Chicks with the
latter actually outperforming Mack on
the charts
number four Rihanna
while Stevie Nicks may have only been
drafted into the group as a package deal
with Lindsey Buckingham
she didn’t take long to prove herself a
valuable asset
aside from her distinct vocals Nick’s
also offered well-crafted pop songs that
were miles from the band’s blues roots
based in part on Welsh mythology and a
goddess of the same name Rhiannon was
written by NYX three months prior to her
joining Fleetwood Mac
it soon became one of the outfits
signature songs topping out at number 11
on the American charts in 1976
number three dreams
it’s an understatement to say rumors was
not a good time for Fleetwood Mac the
marriage of John and Christine McVie was
ending as was the coupling of Lindsey
Buckingham and Stevie Nicks
not to be outdone mick fleetwood was
also going through a divorce outside of
the band
restrained and understated this
simplistic and hypnotic three-chord vamp
from NYX was written in a mere 10
minutes but tapped deeply into the
band’s turmoil and internal animosity
the result was the band’s only million
selling American number one smash
number two the chain credited to all the
members of the group this tune is as
much a collage as it is a song
constructed from unfinished scraps and
unused bits this moody epic nonetheless
links up like well a chain featuring an
intro written by Lindsey Buckingham
the single was flushed out by lyrics
from Stevie Nicks and music from
Christine McVie
it’s dark and eerie bass-heavy ending
however was supplied by the eponymous
rhythm section of mick fleetwood and
john mcvie
that’s just five kinds of awesome
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions I can’t help a
lot of shape I mean I can’t sing I ain’t
pretty and my legs are thin but don’t
ask me what I think of you I might not
give the answer that you want
the sound
she’s a black magic woman stronger all
the room number one go your own way
there are goodbye songs and there are go
away songs this is the letter
written by singer guitarist Lindsey
Buckingham go your own way is a eulogy
of sorts to his troubled relationship
with Stevie Nicks
the directness of Buckinghams lyrics
created a fair bit of tension between
himself and NYX and performing it live
on the following tour only dragged out
the awkwardness
while it may have gone down poorly with
Stevie the rumors single was a hit with
the public and became Fleetwood Mac’s
first Billboard Hot 100 top ten
