If there’s one song you forget about trying to count off the 11 tracks on Rumours, it’s probably Christine McVie’s penultimate creeper “Oh Daddy,” a Neil Young-paced heartache testimony with perilously low self-esteem (“Why are you right when I’m so wrong/ I’m so weak but you’re so strong?”) It’s not the most striking lyric or melody, but the song’s gorgeously windswept production makes for some chilling moments, and also allows for a brilliant lead-in to the album’s significantly more memorable closer.Īpologies to Christine McVie, who ends up with the three lowest-ranked songs on the album - she makes up for it with her fourth song on the set, which we’ll get to much higher up - and no hate meant for “Songbird,” an entirely lovely piano-and-guitar ballad that makes an exquisite end to the album’s A-side. Bill Clinton didn’t help, of course, but the fact that the song was co-optable for sloganeering purposes in the first place simply means that it was a cut more basic than the rest of Rumours to begin with.
3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 1977 - that time and overplay have been somewhat unforgiving towards, its shimmering stomp feeling more pushy than empowering in its forward-march insistence. The only one of the album’s original megahits - peaking at No. 4 or 5 for classic B-side “Silver Springs,” whose exclusion from the album is basically all you need to know about what a self-destructive hot streak Fleetwood Mac were on at the time.) Here are the album’s 11 tracks, ranked from worst to best.
