beautiful child

so many years later, a very interesting piece of music, in relistening i find the bass line and rhythm sections excellent, and the vocal harmonies to be quite interesting, so what went around came around, and a great production effort amidst the other albums of the late 70s, im most impressed with christines talent, and spent most of last night and this morning enjoying

Greatest Album Ever Written

"Rumours" is an unbelieveable album, anyone who has heard it will agree with me. "Rumours" is a great album beacue it was written in the right band at the right time.

This version of Fleetwood Mac was formed in 1975, when Mick Fleetwood(drums), John McVie(bass), and Christine McVie (keyboards and vocals) recruted guitarist and songwriter Lindesy Bukingham and his singing and songwriting partner Stevie Nicks.

In 1975 the debut album "Fleetwood Mac" was released. It sold over five million copies and gave us great songs such as "Landslide", "Rhiannon", "Say You Love Me", "Monday Morning," and "World Turning".

In 1977 the long term relashionship between Stevie Nicks and Lidnsey Buckingham fell apart and Christine and John McVoe were getting a divore. These events fuled "Rumours" into being one great album.

Every single song on "Rumours" is great. It starts with Lindsey's song "Second Hand News" a good song with great guitar work. Next is Stevie Nick's "Dreams" a melincholy song that shows off Stevie's vocal power. The third song is "Never Going Back Again" a short, sweet, Bukingham song. Next is "Don't Stop" a positive, upbeat Christine McVie song that will put a smile on your face. After that is "Go Your Own Way" another great Lindsey Bukingham song where he shows off his guitar. After that is "Songbird", a slow, Christine McVie, lo

ve song that is played almost entirely on the paino. The next song is "The Chain" hands down the greatest song ever written. It's credited to all five members of the band and is made great by using the vocals of all five and giving a solo to both John McVie and Lindsey Buckingham at the end. Next is another Christine McVie song "You Make Loving Fun", it's a very positive love song. Next is "I Don't Want to Know" a Stevie Nicks song that fetures her and Lindsey Bukingham on lead vocals. Next is another slow Christine McVie song "Oh, Daddy". Finally there's "Gold Dust Woman" a haunting Stevie Nicks ballad.

Of those eleven songs nine became top forty hits (the only tow that didn't make it were "I Don't Want to Know" and "Oh Daddy") And twenty years later a B song that didn't make the final cut, "Silver Springs" became a hit off the live album "The Dance".

"Rumours" is still one of the highest selling albums of all time and is the acne of Fleetwood Mac's carrer.

Following "Rumours" Fleetwood Mac released the experimental album "Tusk" in 1979. "Tusk" failed to achive "Rumours" commerical success, but is still a great album with songs like "Tusk", "Sara", and "Think About Me". In 1984 Fleetwood Mac came back and relesed "Mirgae". The album was much more commerical than "Tusk", with songs like "Gypsy", "Hold Me", and "Love in Store". In 1987 the band released "Tango in the Night". Another great album with songs like "Big Love", "Caroline", and "Little Lies." In 1997 the band came back together and released the concert album "The Dance", which included four new songs most noteablr among those were "Silver Springs" and "My Little Demons". In 2003 Fleetwood Mac (minus Christine McVie) released "Say You Will" with songs like "Say You Will" and "Peacekeeper"

In conclusion Fleetwood Mac is a band that (in my opinion) has never relased a bad song. But if you want to get the difintve Mac album this is it. But I still recomend all the Fleetwood Mac works.

One of the Best Selling Albums of all time!!

The new lineup that Fleetwood Mac successfully unveiled with their eponymous 1975 album became even more successful with the multi-platinum Rumours, which became the band's most celebrated album and one of the best-selling albums of all time. To be sure, this was a very different sounding Fleetwood Mac than the blues-rock outfit of the late '60s. This edition of the band generally wasn't well received by rock critics. But as commercial and slick as Rumours is, the music has a lot of heart and never comes across as insincere. From Christine McVie's optimistic "Don't Stop" (which President Bill Clinton used as his campaign theme song in 1992) to Lindsey Buckingham's remorseful "Go Your Own Way," Rumours is consistently memorable. And the folkish "Gold Dust Woman" (covered by Courtney Love and Hole in 1996) and the melancholy hit "Dreams" made it quite clear just how much depth and substance Stevie Nicks was capable of.
