One of my favorite songs from 1982. Love the harmonies between Lindsey and Christine.

I like it just fine, but it's not one of my favorites by them, and the Mirage album was very weak for them. "Gypsy" is easily my favorite on that album.

One of my favorites from FM (I have a lot of favorites from them tho :) ). Love the vocal harmonies and the instrumentation with that gorgeous piano. It was also a song that I liked from the first moment I heard it in the early 1980s. It took me more time to get into Stevie's songs, but Christine's were always an easy pleasure :)

This is ok. It's among my least favorite of their hits. There were several songs on the album I think are stronger.

Love this one. My fave Fleetwood Mac songs are ones with Christine's vocals.

I do not like this at all. MTV played the hell out of the video. Debuted 40 years ago on the June 19th Billboard Hot 100 at #33. More info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hold_Me_(Fleetwood_Mac_song)Due to the band members' strained relationships at the time, the video shoot in the Mojave Desert was a "nightmare," according to producer Simon Fields. "[They] were, um, not easy to work with," agrees Steve Barron, who directed the clip. Most scenes feature only one or two band members at a time and the entire band is never seen together.[5] "It was so hot, and we weren't getting along," recalls Nicks. Buckingham was still not over their breakup six years earlier, nor her subsequent affair with Fleetwood. Further, she elaborates, the rest of the band was angry with Fleetwood because he had then begun an affair with Nicks' best friend, who left her husband as a result, causing serious issues for Nicks.[5] "Four of them, I can't recall which four, couldn't be together in the same room for very long. They didn't want to be there," says Barron. "Christine McVie was about ten hours out of the makeup trailer. By which time it was getting dark." According to Fields, "John McVie was drunk and tried to punch me. Stevie Nicks didn't want to walk on the sand with her platforms. Christine McVie was fed up with all of them. Mick thought she was being a bitch, he wouldn't talk to her."[5] |

Decent but I prefer other hits from them like "Don't Stop", "Gypsy", "Dreams", and "Little Lies".

This is definitely one of their weaker singles. Probably the worst of any that made the top 10
