From the Album called Rumours. Fleetwood Mac have produced more than one "best of" compilation over the years, but I never understood why - the very best of Fleetwood Mac (some might say ALL the best of them.....) is on that one album anyway.

Queen.....

Don't get me wrong, I know all of those artists (except that DeEtta one) but when reading the song names, none of them brought a tune to mind, except Queen, so that got my vote. Had i the inclination to research them FwM may have got the vote, purely for services to F1, but hey-ho....

But Hotel California? Hello? That's a very famous track, I'm genuinely astonished that you haven't heard it.

Lesson learned, look into it more thoroughly before voting.....

there's an F1 thread here? excuse me. *runs off in search*
by the way, I think this season's finale goes very well with the tune I voted for. Specially the bass line bit :X

Well that surprices me, Zoots choice only has one decent "riff" right near the end for about 20 secs, the rest of the song is not very good at all.

My best mate knows quite a bit about music and didn't know that song. I was appalled.

Are you kidding? The whole song is an emotional masterpiece which builds up to a fantastic finale.

Your comment is like saying "Stairway to Heaven - It's a bit long isn't it...."

Bah, you disappoint me..

You like your guitar, you know how hard it is to play certain pieces, I don't. Rolf Harris did stairway to heaven didn't he? That wasn't all that long.......

I voted for my favorite, Black Betty, you see I have no taste, it shouldn't be a disapointment or a surprise!

Whilst I love ELO and think they're brilliant, you are wrong.
