The Fleetwood Mac Appreciation Thread
Let's talk about one of the greatest bands in music history. What are you favourite songs, albums, lineups, tours,etc?
I grew up listening to their music, mainly the earlier blues stuff that my mom and dad played around the house. It wasn't until I bought Rumours back in 2003 when I was 19 that I truly fell in love with them. I would kill to go back in time and see them live in the '70s as there we some truly knockout performances like these two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MtPyk8_onO8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcsYa6jFRoY I did go and see them in concert in 2003 and 2009 and they blew me away. My favourite lineup has to be the classic Buckingham Nicks lineup. The way they took what was going on in their personal lives and wrote often brutally honest and haunting songs and survived it all is just amazing. Also a big shout out to the underrated Bob Welch era. Favourite songs: Station Man Did You Ever Love Me Hypnotized Heroes Are Hard to Find Come a Little Bit Closer Sentimental Lady Rhiannon World Turning Landslide Crystal I'm So Afraid The Chain Dreams Oh Daddy Go Your Own Way Gold Dust Woman Songbird Sara (my favourite) Brown Eyes Tusk Storms I Know I'm Not Wrong Honey Hi Beautiful Child Sisters of the Moon That's Alright Big Love Caroline Isn't It Midnight Family Man Tango in the Night Temporary One Silver Springs Illume Steal Your Heart Away Oh Well Green Manalishi Man of the World Black Magic Woman I Believe My Time Ain't Long Rattlesnake Shake Favourite album is "Tusk". |

I love Fleetwood Mac. I'm going to be predictable and say that Rumours is my favourite album. That's mainly because I've been listening to it a lot lately. As far as a favourite song, I adore the Chain. I'm a sucker for the harmonies on that track.

Am I allowed to only be appreciative of a small part, rather than most, of the band's career on an "Appreciation" thread?
I absolutely love the Peter Green incarnation of the band, but am not that keen on what came later. Favourite tracks:- Man of the World Need Your Love So Bad Green Manalishi Oh Well Part 1 Oh Well Part 2 Albatross Dragonfly Black Magic Woman Shake Your Money Maker |

Rumours is a beautiful album...i love Fleetwood Mac so much, the Buckingham era is my favourite!
Lindsay, Stevie Nicks and Chistine McVie....such powerful voices! They are the greatest rock band in music history IMO (of course there are laos i absolutely love to death but The Mac get it!) Cannot wait for them to make a comeback as rumoured and speculated! |

Great, great band. I love Stevie Nicks who may just be my favourite female vocalist of all time.

Personally, I tend to go through phases of listening to the Green era a lot and then swinging to the Buckingham/Nicks era depending on my listening moods. |

Only just discovered them and I think they're amazing. Fallen in love with Stevie Nicks, what a fantastic woman! As is Chrissie and then the guys, loved all songs I've heard so far which is the 1988 greatest hits album, will spend longer listening to them tomorrow, but my life has new meaning now

Yeah I know bless her, she's 70 this year too! But yeah it would be nice but she's in retirement and as it's been said, she never really wanted fame and she didn't like touring

Yeah it is sad she wont be but at the same point who can blame her....i mean the pressures of the band across the 70s and 80s mustve been psychologically and mentally damaging too really especially the drama behind the scenes of the music.
than some others, yet they put it all behind them and got on with it, where other people may have fallen apart

I was talking to my dad about it and he said they were very strong seeing how some members knew some members "better"
