...other albums they have made, Deadwing is perhaps not the best, but it rates quite high in my opinion, especially tracks like open car and shallow. There is little to fault about the album, all the tracks are superbly written, deep lyrics sung with good pleasent voices, excellent musician ships and good rhythms. there will be some fans of their earlier stuff, that will not take to the album as i have, for it is not as progressive and moves closer ...

Personally though, rather than placing it after 'Songbird', I would have put it following 'Go Your Own Way', as that was the single it was the b-side to. Disc 2: Some of these we could probably have done without, but most make it worth ...
...that Lindsey was playing around with this idea back in the 1973 days of Buckingham Nicks. 'You Make Loving Fun' is absolutely wonderful, with Stevie's harmony vocals very clear, and keyboards and guitar to the fore.
