The 20 best Fleetwood Mac songs 18. "Say You Love Me" (1975)

Buckingham and Nicks’s assimilation into the band and the sheer quality of the material they brought with them proved to be the artistic fillip that the other members needed. The self-titled first album with the new line up (otherwise known as Mac’s White Album) featured four superb Christine McVie compositions plus a co-write with Buckingham, as many as Buckingham and Nicks combined. McVie had always been a prominent songwriter, but this was the album where she really came into her own as she responded to the challenge of the twin tyros with “Warm Ways”, and “Over My Head”, prime examples of her gorgeous lilting love songs. The jaunty “Say You Love Me” was her best song yet and even scraped into the UK top 40 at a time when the original band were but distant memories in their homeland.
