Fleetwood Mac (1975) Landslide
Probably my favourite Mac tune and yet this incredibly touching folk ballad wasn't released as a single. Steve Nicks subdued melancholic melody hints at future Mac hit Sara. This tune hits you right in the heart with Nicks delicate delivery suggesting feelings rather than declaring them this song lack of a hook makes it far more timeless than their 1977 hits which would rock out a lot more. The mature subject makes it open interpretation and far more affecting than you would expect though Nicks songs like Dreams and Rhiannon like Bob Welch before were always quite mystical but packed with raw emotions.
