“Silver Springs” by Fleetwood Mac

Stevie Nicks wrote "Silver Springs" about the end of her romance with Lindsey Buckingham, and it was earmarked for Fleetwood Mac's Rumours before getting shunted to the flip side of "Go Your Own Way" instead. The bruise never quite healed: fights over the song drove Nicks out of the band in 1991, and she didn't come back until 1997.

That year the song finally got its due. A live take from The Dance came out as a single and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals, and in 2004 it was folded into a remastered Rumours, the album it had been meant for all along. It had already surfaced on the 1992 box set 25 Years – The Chain, and it later turned up on Nicks's own Crystal Visions collection.
