Most underrated songs
I found an article in a Chilean radio webpage about the most underrated Fleetwood Mac songs. Actually it picks one song per album:
Over My Head (Fleetwood Mac, 1975) I Don’t Want to Know (Rumours, 1977) That’s All For Everyone (Tusk, 1979) Can’t Go Back (Mirage, 1982) Isn’t It Midnight (Tango in the Night, 1987) Freedom (Behind the Mask, 1990) Nights in Estoril (Time, 1995) Smile at You (Say You Will, 2003) I don’t know about Freedom or Smile at You. Those songs don’t give me any big emotion. But Isn’t It Midnight is THE most underrated song to me. It must have been a hit like Little Lies or Everywhere. |
Since Over My Head was Fleetwood Mac's first big hit, I dont see how someone could say its an underrated song. Any song from Rumours is not underrated since everyone knows them so I would scratch I Dont Want To Know.
Clearly I do agree that Nights in Estoril is underrated since its not known by many. The rest of the list I could also agree with. Most all songs on Tusk are underrated and every album pre-Buck/Nicks is underrated. But I will go where others wont dare to go. BTM, OSOTM, Christine McVie, In The Meantime, and Street Angel are all greatly underrated! |
You and I Part I — pastoral English beauty
Angel 1979 — funk masterwork whose minimalist arrangement screams invention for its era, but more than invention it’s one of the best dance songs from a year that produced excellent dance (like Off the Wall), the lyric is as sassy and sensual as Stevie ever was Steal Your Heart Away — the most stunning tribute to the Kingston Trio ever written Worried Dream — the best, emotionally rawest blues guitar, most believable lyric, and open-hearted vocal ever laid down by a British band, one for the ages That’s Alright — one of Stevie’s top five lyrics, and a melody line to die for, absolutely smashing |

Keeping with the same format (one per album, post-Bob Welch), these are the ones that come to my mind first:
Blue Letter I Don't Want to Know Storms Farmer's Daughter That's Alright Isn't It Midnight When the Sun Goes Down Winds of Change Temporary One Everybody Finds Out Sad Angel And honorable mention to Twisted, which may be my favorite reunion-era LB/SN track aside from The Dance's Silver Springs.
