When you have so much quality choice, there isn't enough hours to fully appreciate all the talent. It was my growing up children, that introduced me to all the superb sounds that I had passed by. After a diet of Beatles, Rolling Stones, Dylan, Donovan, and T Rex Queen, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits were introduced to me when I started to appreciate long since e dead musical masters.
The whole album are a series of breakup and stay together songs. This was Lindsey singing about breaking up with Stevie. Christine and John McVie were going through a divorce and she was dating one of the lighting guys who worked with them. The chain was about them staying together as a band.
If you listen to Tusk it's a completely different sound again. Its brilliant. The live version is by far the best. Getting the full affect of the full matching band is incredible.
There's a reason that, before Thriller and Bad, this was the best-selling album of all time. Three fabulous songwriters at the top of their game. Tons of emotional tension. And a scandalously underrated rhythm section. It's hard to go wrong with anything off this (or its predecessor, Fleetwood Mac). If you're looking for more, You Make Loving Fun is a great Christine McVie showcase.
Three different vocalists, three different songwriters, so every album of theirs has a variety of different styles. Tusk, Sisters of the Moon, Brown Eyes, Sara, I'm So Afraid, Isn't It Midnight, Little Lies, Angel, Silver Springs, The Ledge, Think About Me.
@@sandrahutto Sandra, there's a different, even better version of "Tusk" available on the box set "The Chain--25 Years" that opens with the USC band doing their thing. It's thrilling! But no one has yet uploaded that mix to TH-cam. It's officially called Tusk (USC Intro Mix) if you can find it.
This is definitely my favorite Fleetwood Mac song. It has every element that makes it a song that will last forever as one of the greatest. The instrumentation and musical expression is top- notch. I have been listening to this song and album since it's release, it's one of those songs that keeps getting better and more meaningful every time you listen to it. Fantastic and absolutely beautiful.
I’m a sixty year old truck driver from Iowa very much enjoy the reactions you put out! Your vibe is awesome brother thanks for bringing some enjoyment to me and others nothing but the best wishes to you and yours.
You got it 100% right - Fleetwood Mac are one of those bands who take you on a journey through their career as they explore music, through all kinds of sounds and genres, techniques and styles, yet always with certain hallmarks. Every album was opening up a whole new vista in their journey through all the possibilities of music, and they took us with them. But you already know what is the hallmark part, even after just a few songs - their ear for the completeness of the track. They have a way of filling, balancing, making an incredibly rich and deep sound, of every track they do, in a way few other bands can. Think of how, in 'The Chain', so much of the song wasn't just in the sounds, but in the pace, the tempo, and even the pauses, and how they played with the tempo of all the different sections to lift you up, carry you along, put you back down to see what was around you, then carry you again. This track, 'Go Your Own Way', has a more solid sense of impetus all through, a driving force with velocity, yet so richly textured and layered. The emotion was also powerful (the song was written by one of the band breaking up from another, and performed by both). One of my all-time favourites of theirs is "Everywhere", which is hauntingly beautiful, and again, different to anything else, taking us on another part of their incredible journey of exploring all the different styles of music they wanted to share.
The whole album Rumours is genius. All the songs lead into each other so the best way to really get it, is to put some time aside, slip on some headphones, sit back and enjoy. Trust me. You will not regret it.
This entire Album has hit , after hit song. Maybe the beast selling album of the 1970s, and that's saying a lot. That was the "Classic Rock" era. Great music in those days.
this is my favourite song of theirs. if you want to get a completely different look at them, check out Tusk. Fun song, but just a completely different kind of song.
The genius of Lindsey Buckingham. He's the lead singer and guitar on Go Your Own Way AND The Chain , and he's the producer/arranger most repsonsible for the the band's sound, and the fact that they have (as you stated in your reaction) a variety of sounds. The Mac had three songwriters in the Rumours era lineup, but even with Christine's and Stevie's songs, Lindsey took their raw songs and added the counter melodies, the chord progressions, harmonies, and all the little nuances you're digging. Add to that, John's cool bass lines and Mick's superb drumming and well, there ya go.
I like most Fleetwood Mac songs but Second Hand News is my favorite. It gets overshadowed by Go Your Own Way and a few others, which overall are probably better songs, but I still love Second Hand News.
@@SilentHunter245 Yeah I put it in my top 5 Fleetwood Mac songs. Most of them are with Linsey Buckingham at lead vocals. I thought he was amazing at writing and performing his songs. And he was their producer of their master tapes.
No one ever seems to want to react to Christine’s songs. Probably my favorite songwriter of the group. I would suggest, from the classic Rumours album, “You make lovin fun” and, my favorite, “Songbird”.
"Landslide" NEXT PLEASE!!!!! If you're serious about going down this "rabbit hole," look up my name in the comments to your "Edge of 17" reaction video because I've supplied you the links to their songs. - Courtesy of "The Classic Rock Guru"
My absolute favorite Fleetwood Mac song! I was 9 years old when this came out, I have listened to it at least once a week ever since. The entire album is brilliant!
Every song on this album is a hit IMO it's in my top 5 of all time I rank it right up there with dark side of the Moon by Floyd and Boston's 1st album. Every body always talks about how great Stevie Nicks is and she is but Christy McVie is just as great her song "Song bird" brings me to tears nearly every time I hear it ✌️♥️
OMG that sounds so damn good. I was lucky enough to have lived my youth in the 70's. Saw them in concert twice in Kansas City. This was an amazing album and I still cherish it to this day. LOVE Fleetwood Mac. Thank you for taking good music like this and showing others what it is. Not all young people today have heard this music so thank you for bringing it to a much younger crowd who otherwise would probably never hear it.
The crazy thing is that this song came off the same ALBUM as "The Chain" and "Dreams." "Never Going Home Again" is on the same album, and feels different. The Buckingham-era Fleetwood Mac song that I feel gets slept on is "I'm So Afraid." Got some of the hardest-rocking guitar work Lindsey ever did on it. I also like "Big Love" from their 80's period. Pre-Buckingham/Nicks joining, they had a few cool songs like "Albatross," but they were a much different, bluesier band back then. They really changed a lot over the years, and that eclecticism is one of the things that makes them so great, I think.
Every song is different because each member writes different songs and have their own style. Every member could be a solo performer, but together they are brillant.
I hear this music and I close my eyes and I'm 17 again....kicking back with my headphones on blasting this song away...... Some songs are able to transport you back in time that way and this is one of them.....no, the entire album does!
According to Wikipedia, certified twice diamond , 20 million copies and sold 45 million worldwide. Also have read that it was certified platinum 29 times in the US. I have purchased three copies , the original release, a half speed master copy and then on CD.
The reason they have so many distinct sounds is they have three members who can write hit songs, and all three can sing lead. This one was written and sung by the guitarist Lindsay Buckingham. The two ladies in the group, Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks also wrote and sung lead. Lindsay and Stevie were going through a breakup at the time. This was his song to her. Dreams was her song to him.
Great reaction! As you said, this band is so versatile with their sound, yet all of their songs are distinctively Fleetwood Mac - it’s a unique sound. Tusk, Rhihana, Landslide, Gold Dust Woman- they have so many phenomenal songs.
The same exact reaction I had when I first heard this song went it on the radio back in the day it came out! :) Being used to FM as a blues group, Buckingham and Nicks really brought them to a different level!
Great reaction - nice to see a new generation discovering Fleetwood Mac. Adding my vote for Gold Dust Woman, which may be my favorite song from Rumours. The album cut is perfect, but Stevie Nicks also did a great 8 minute live version with several of the band members (th-cam.com/video/lXrb0DU4ko4/w-d-xo.html). Rhiannon, Landslide and Silver Springs are all incredible as well. And you might want to check out Stevie Nicks’ duet with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Stop Dragging My Heart Around.
Stevie Nicks' vocals in "Silver Springs" make this song some of Fleetwood Mac fan's favorite song of all. The way she bends her voice singing the word "me" almost makes it sound like she is singing two notes at once.
For something different again try "Big Love", the guitar work is immense and "Tusk" , think you might be struggling for your favourite one then. But most of Fleetwood Mac is just great.
The reason Fleetwood Mac has such diversity is the bands lineup over the years starting w/ Peter Green and and then Bob Welch and Christine McVie. With the addition of Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham along with Christine, FM became a powerhouse.
Unquestionably, among the best bands EVER assembled! And right, there is a Mac essence to their songs, but with the diversity of vocalist and instrumentalists, no two songs sound the same.
This song rates up there as one of their best songs. Enjoyed your reaction. A suggestion, Fleetwood Mac - Rhianna Live on the midnight special 1976. The live version is excellent!!
You're diggin it man! I Knew you'd love it. This album came out in 76' I believe as I was in high school back then. This song Go Your Own Way hit the airwaves like a storm and it sold the album like hot cakes!
Even though I knew and liked them before, watching the video of The Dance was what made me absolutely fall in love with them. Loved the marching band with Don't Stop and Tusk and it has my favorite version of Landslide.
The first album I bought when I moved to Hull to spend three years at maritime college. Those years were highlighted by Rumours, News of the World, Jazz, and bat out of hell!
@@mikeaudette2823 Yeah, he is one of my favorite people in rock history. Unbelievable talent, he arranged the instruments and produced their master tapes in the studio.
You’ll never be disappointed with Fleetwood Mac. Go ahead with any of their songs! They had such a balanced talent throughout the band. If you’d like, check out some deeper tracks, like “storms”, “ tango in the night”, “silver springs “, “seven wonders”, second hand news “. Anything really. Love your energy. Love the way you listen! Thank you James!
The album 'Rumours' was written when all the personal relationships within the band were falling apart, which is incredible when you consider the quality and sheer genius of all the songs.
Given that Rumours has just re entered the top 10 selling albums of all time, you should definitely check out Gold Dust Woman, Don't Stop, You Make Loving Fun. Cheers
Written by Lindsey (guitarist) to Stevie (singer) during their break up. The Rumors album was filled with upsest and animosity from everyone in the band breaking and going their separate ways personally but managed to keep the band together.
You need to take a dive into the origin of progressive rock with The Moody Blues... Start with Tuesday Afternoon and Nights in White Satin (extended version). Then move on to Ride My Seesaw, The Word/Om, Higher and Higher, Procession/The Story in Your Eyes, The Voice, and Question.... These are just appetizers... The banquet is laid out deep down the rabbit hole as you will discover... Enjoy the journey my friend!!
React to any of their hits from their reunion album 'The Dance'. Every song is done perfectly live. 'Tusk' and 'Don't Stop' would be a good doubleheader. Both feature the USC marching band.
The classic "Dreams" got so much airplay for 30 years that now people mostly vote for other tracks to hear something else, but it is actually Fleetwood Mac's greatest song.
Young fella, Fleetwood Mac had three songwriters and, being democratic, whoever wrote the song, sung the song. Hence, a rotating lead vocals and a massive variation of music.
![Nightwish - Ghost River [FIRST TIME REACTION]](/img/n.gif)
young sir...everything on the Rumours album is nothing less than perfect
Marianne Cormier, you are so right!
These songs were inescapable for about none months
Their self titled album is a work of art as well.
Imagine if they hadn't left Silver Springs off the album!
a masterpiece indeed
It amazes me to see so many young people reacting to 60s and 70s music. It made me realize how, growing up, I took so much of this stuff for granted.
Same for the 90's.
Right . I was born in 1970 , only child of a rocker mom. So I grew up on a lot of incredible music. Sounds like you did too.
When you have so much quality choice, there isn't enough hours to fully appreciate all the talent.
It was my growing up children, that introduced me to all the superb sounds that I had passed by.
After a diet of Beatles, Rolling Stones, Dylan, Donovan, and T Rex
Queen, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits were introduced to me when I started to appreciate long since e dead musical masters.
I agree, I grew up with Fleetwood Mac and my daughters appreciate the music...they’re in their 30’s. I’m 64
My parents are the same way. You really got the best years for music!
Your Fleetwood Mac journey needs to include every.single.song on this album
Might possibly be THE greatest rock album of all time
Including Silver Springs (recorded during the Rumours sessions but inexplicably left off the final track listing).
The album went back in the top 10 or was last week I think
it really is a great album. The whole thing. Very rare there isn't a dog on an album but this one is perfect.
Yes! The 1970s was a *terrific* decade for the rock music genre.
3 singer/song writers, and a great collaboration despite relationship issues. Often, out of great suffering comes great art.
The whole album are a series of breakup and stay together songs. This was Lindsey singing about breaking up with Stevie. Christine and John McVie were going through a divorce and she was dating one of the lighting guys who worked with them. The chain was about them staying together as a band.
Cocaine is a terrible drug, but it was great for music
He should check out "Say You Love Me," the song Christine McVie wrote about dating the lighting guy. It's full of light references.
@@davewildermuth7519 I believe You Make Loving Fun is also about Christine McVie's fling/affair with the lighting guy.
Yes two break ups in one band is musically productive. ABBA found this out too
Let's not forget Stevie Nicks' affair with Mick Fleetwood that caused the breakup between her and Lindsey Buckingham.
This album was and still is, a masterpiece. California rock blending w/ English blues....perfect summer days and nights w/ Rumours still works for me
If you haven't checked it out yet, a MUST is Fleetwood Mac 'Rhiannon' live in 1976. Stevie Nicks blows the roof off.
I endorse this comment! 🤟🏼
Yes she does!! Very emotional. I have watched it sooo many times. Amazing performance.
The absolute best!
That is true. The 1976 live version of "Go Your Own Way" is awesome.
Many consider that performance the absolute best live vocal performance of all time by anyone ever.
"Don't Stop" is entirely different too. This was Bill Clinton's campaign theme song in 1992.
Lindsey and Christie shared lead vocals in this song too.
If you listen to Tusk it's a completely different sound again. Its brilliant.
The live version is by far the best. Getting the full affect of the full matching band is incredible.
Always good to find a fellow Tusk fan! ☺️
Watch the live version from The Dance, with complete marching band
@@brendonm9601 Is that the one where they're at the football stadium? I watched that like crazy when I was a kid.
Tusk is possibly the best album from any band of that era, been listening to it since the mid 80s, still sounds great today, way better than rumours
@@sarahzentexas Beautiful child on Tusk is one of my all time favorites.
There's a reason that, before Thriller and Bad, this was the best-selling album of all time. Three fabulous songwriters at the top of their game. Tons of emotional tension.

Sisters of the Moon is SOOOO underrated!
@@BigBlobProductions The lyrics are fire!!
Tusk is a great one! So different, builds up slow and then pow, USC marching band!
@@sandrahutto Sandra, there's a different, even better version of "Tusk" available on the box set "The Chain--25 Years" that opens with the USC band doing their thing. It's thrilling! But no one has yet uploaded that mix to TH-cam. It's officially called Tusk (USC Intro Mix) if you can find it.
@@jons.105 Oooh I have to look for that, thanks!

I have been listening to this song and album since it's release, it's one of those songs that keeps getting better and more meaningful every time you listen to it. Fantastic and absolutely beautiful.
Check out Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon
It’s soooo good
Yeah but it’s a slow song
The live version
Live version! Either the Midnight Special or Rosebud film version
He should hear “You make lovin fun” and “you say that you love me”
I actually prefer the studio version I love the way it sounds
ANY song you do from this band will be a banger!!!!
Gold Dust Woman from this album is just as great as The Chain, in a different way!
Gold dust woman is amazing
Yes!! Great song!!
My favorite on that great album.
Actually, I feel those 2 songs are very similar - Nicks spooky, greasy, bluesy.
Agree - haunting and intense.
I’m a sixty year old truck driver from Iowa very much enjoy the reactions you put out! Your vibe is awesome brother thanks for bringing some enjoyment to me and others nothing but the best wishes to you and yours.
A couple other great Fleetwood Mac songs- Big Love, Tusk, Rhiannon, Landslide, Gold Dust Woman.

young folks need to learn the concept of an "album" the songs are in a certain order for a REASON. listen to the songs in ORDER!
This entire Album has hit , after hit song. Maybe the beast selling album of the 1970s, and that's saying a lot. That was the "Classic Rock" era. Great music in those days.
I'd vote for their song: Little Lies
My fave song at 4, still my fave song years on. Definitely one to listen to!!
Personally, I love Christie McVie's voice, so I'd go with You Make Loving Fun or Say You Love Me.
Why not both dot gif
I agree, David.
Songbird
"Songbird" really spotlights her beautiful voice, for me!...😃💥👍👌
She's no stevie
this is my favourite song of theirs. if you want to get a completely different look at them, check out Tusk. Fun song, but just a completely different kind of song.
I was gonna say the same damn thing!
live version
Love Tusk
Live video of Tusk, with the full marching band joining them on the field...
The genius of Lindsey Buckingham. He's the lead singer and guitar on Go Your Own Way AND The Chain , and he's the producer/arranger most repsonsible for the the band's sound, and the fact that they have (as you stated in your reaction) a variety of sounds.

Second Hand News by Fleetwood Mac
I like most Fleetwood Mac songs but Second Hand News is my favorite. It gets overshadowed by Go Your Own Way and a few others, which overall are probably better songs, but I still love Second Hand News.
@@SilentHunter245 Yeah I put it in my top 5 Fleetwood Mac songs. Most of them are with Linsey Buckingham at lead vocals. I thought he was amazing at writing and performing his songs. And he was their producer of their master tapes.
Great song! I love it!
Probably my favorite Fleetwood Mac song along with "Never Going Back Again".
One of the best!!
No one ever seems to want to react to Christine’s songs. Probably my favorite songwriter of the group.
I would suggest, from the classic Rumours album, “You make lovin fun” and, my favorite, “Songbird”.
I love “You Make Lovin’ Fun!”
Wonderful singer and songwriter
Ya but Stevie nicks was the white witch once you hear her, let alone, see her it’s over… she’s too captivating
Ahhh. Lindsey Buckingham on lead vocals. He’s my absolute favorite and his guitar is impeccable.
Fleetwood Mac is a band filled with songwriters, so variety is easy.
"Landslide" NEXT PLEASE!!!!!
If you're serious about going down this "rabbit hole," look up my name in the comments to your "Edge of 17" reaction video because I've supplied you the links to their songs.
- Courtesy of "The Classic Rock Guru"
the edge of seventeen guitar riff is one of the sickest ever! That song is pure badassery!
I am glad you got a chance to appreciate Fleetwood Mac before Christine McVie passed
My absolute favorite Fleetwood Mac song! I was 9 years old when this came out, I have listened to it at least once a week ever since. The entire album is brilliant!
Lindsey, Stevie and Christine’s vocals together are unbeatable.
Wait until you hear Tusk by Fleetwood Mac & the USC marching band.
YESSSS!!!!!!
Hell yeah!
YES! TUSK!
Landslide is a must
"Rumours" is like "An Evening With Silk Sonic" where every song on the album is so perfect, you have to react to the entire album.
"Dreams", "Don't Stop" and "Say You Love Me" should be your next Fleetwood Mac tracks.
I'm 73 years old and still play FM and Stevie Nicks music. I never get tired of listening to them. I play their CD'S in my car. My crusin' music!! 💞💞💞
Please listen to "Gold Dust Woman" it too is hauntingly beautiful with great instrumentation! Lovin your channel!
why do these videos make me so frickin' happy? every time! just watching someone else getting into the music is just cathartic.
"Fleetwood Mac High" HAHAHA you are just getting started good sir!!!!
The whole album is essentially a hit, no filler, every song is killer.
Every song on this album is a hit IMO it's in my top 5 of all time I rank it right up there with dark side of the Moon by Floyd and Boston's 1st album. Every body always talks about how great Stevie Nicks is and she is but Christy McVie is just as great her song "Song bird" brings me to tears nearly every time I hear it ✌️♥️

Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac was very different but did some excellent stuff. Oh Well is amazing
Rhiannon live ‘73 or ‘75. A MUST EXPERIENCE! Gold Dust Woman, Dreams, Tusk- so many - Rumors is practically flawless album
I love how much you love Fleetwood Mac. They really are great that album rumors is like one of the greatest albums of all time!
Every song is different because each member writes different songs and have their own style. Every member could be a solo performer, but together they are brillant.
Also Stevie Nicks just came out with “Show them the Way” a banger recently it’ll make you cry.
Great song and great video!
I hear this music and I close my eyes and I'm 17 again....kicking back with my headphones on blasting this song away...... Some songs are able to transport you back in time that way and this is one of them.....no, the entire album does!
Rumours is one of thE biggest selling albums of all time, pick any song on this album
According to Wikipedia, certified twice diamond , 20 million copies and sold 45 million worldwide. Also have read that it was certified platinum 29 times in the US. I have purchased three copies , the original release, a half speed master copy and then on CD.
True Dat!!....😃💥👍👌
The reason they have so many distinct sounds is they have three members who can write hit songs, and all three can sing lead. This one was written and sung by the guitarist Lindsay Buckingham. The two ladies in the group, Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks also wrote and sung lead. Lindsay and Stevie were going through a breakup at the time. This was his song to her.

Fleetwood Mac has so many good songs. Dreams, Gold Dust Woman, Tusk, Big Love, Go Insane, World Turning...etc.
Any 38 special. Hold on Loosely, Caught up in You, Fantasy Girl, Chained Lighting. All great 80's music
I forgot about Fantasy Girl...hanging my head in shame.
Yet another upbeat banger from this record is "Second Hand News".
Listen to “YOU MAKE LOVIN FUN” next 🎉
Another song on the "Fleetwood Mac" album that Chris McVie wrote is Say You Love Me--just as good in my opinion.
The same exact reaction I had when I first heard this song went it on the radio back in the day it came out! :)
Being used to FM as a blues group, Buckingham and Nicks really brought them to a different level!
Great reaction - nice to see a new generation discovering Fleetwood Mac. Adding my vote for Gold Dust Woman, which may be my favorite song from Rumours. The album cut is perfect, but Stevie Nicks also did a great 8 minute live version with several of the band members (th-cam.com/video/lXrb0DU4ko4/w-d-xo.html). Rhiannon, Landslide and Silver Springs are all incredible as well.
And you might want to check out Stevie Nicks’ duet with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Stop Dragging My Heart Around.
Each member writes songs that sound very different and it works for them somehow. Brilliant!
So many hits to react to: Next up should be either Gypsy or Rhiannon.
"THUNDER ONLY HAPPENS WHEN IT'S RAININ'"
You should react to Fleetwood Mac's Rhiannon live 1976...you'll love it trust me! Stevie Nicks' vocals are killer!
Stevie Nicks' vocals in "Silver Springs" make this song some of Fleetwood Mac fan's favorite song of all. The way she bends her voice singing the word "me" almost makes it sound like she is singing two notes at once.
Pat Benatar - "Promises in the Dark"
Molly Hatchet - "Flirting with Disaster"
Tesla - "Love Song"
Heart - "Crazy on You"
The emotional dynamics between these people were intense, but made it made for some of the best music ever made.
For something different again try "Big Love", the guitar work is immense and "Tusk" , think you might be struggling for your favourite one then. But most of Fleetwood Mac is just great.
The reason Fleetwood Mac has such diversity is the bands lineup over the years starting w/ Peter Green and and then Bob Welch and Christine McVie. With the addition of Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham along with Christine, FM became a powerhouse.
You will love ALL of Fleetwood Mac!
I recommend YOU MAKE LOVIN' FUN and DON'T STOP next!
Peace, Brotha!
Mick Fleetwood's drums are unbelievable here. He's simply relentless about driving the song forward.
Don’t Stop-Fleetwood Mac
Unquestionably, among the best bands EVER assembled! And right, there is a Mac essence to their songs, but with the diversity of vocalist and instrumentalists, no two songs sound the same.

You really want to hear Fleetwood Mac?? Their live show "The Dance", it's a goldmine
And the USC Marching Band playing live when they do Tusk. I read that it was shot at a hangar at the airport in Burbank.
Even though I knew and liked them before, watching the video of The Dance was what made me absolutely fall in love with them. Loved the marching band with Don't Stop and Tusk and it has my favorite version of Landslide.
Yes, I think I've worn out the CD & DVD of The Dance.
I love the sparseness of the first guitar solo that explodes at the end.
George Michael with Queen - Somebody to Love (LIVE) at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert. It’s total 🔥🔥🔥
Yes. It was one of the very, very few queen covers that is almost as good as the original. George and Queen did Freddie proud that night.
The first album I bought when I moved to Hull to spend three years at maritime college. Those years were highlighted by Rumours, News of the World, Jazz, and bat out of hell!
React to "Rhiannon" live on the Midnight Special
Fleetwood Mac has three outstanding singers and all write songs. They are pretty awesome! One of my favorite groups.
Here's a great example of how great Lindsey Buckingham was to this band.
Yes, Keith. It's telling that when Lindsey left the band they needed to hire 2 guitar players to replace him!
@@mikeaudette2823 Yeah, he is one of my favorite people in rock history. Unbelievable talent, he arranged the instruments and produced their master tapes in the studio.
You’ll never be disappointed with Fleetwood Mac. Go ahead with any of their songs! They had such a balanced talent throughout the band. If you’d like, check out some deeper tracks, like “storms”, “ tango in the night”, “silver springs “, “seven wonders”, second hand news “. Anything really. Love your energy. Love the way you listen! Thank you James!
Leather and Lace - Stevie Nicks and Don Henley.
Stop Draggin My Heart Around.
Stevie Nicks and Tom Petty.
Don Henley will probably block that duet 🤦🏼♀️😕
The album 'Rumours' was written when all the personal relationships within the band were falling apart, which is incredible when you consider the quality and sheer genius of all the songs.
You need to react to Tusk when they did it with the USC band. It's awesome!!
Fleetwood Mac's versatility is one reason that made them a SUPERGROUP.
Given that Rumours has just re entered the top 10 selling albums of all time, you should definitely check out Gold Dust Woman, Don't Stop, You Make Loving Fun. Cheers
Written by Lindsey (guitarist) to Stevie (singer) during their break up. The Rumors album was filled with upsest and animosity from everyone in the band breaking and going their separate ways personally but managed to keep the band together.
Tusk will make you chair dance to oblivion. Might break the chair so you've been warned.
You need to take a dive into the origin of progressive rock with The Moody Blues... Start with Tuesday Afternoon and Nights in White Satin (extended version). Then move on to Ride My Seesaw, The Word/Om, Higher and Higher, Procession/The Story in Your Eyes, The Voice, and Question.... These are just appetizers... The banquet is laid out deep down the rabbit hole as you will discover... Enjoy the journey my friend!!
React to any of their hits from their reunion album 'The Dance'. Every song is done perfectly live. 'Tusk' and 'Don't Stop' would be a good doubleheader. Both feature the USC marching band.
I enjoyed they're new songs too like, My Little Demon and the Bridge song that Christine McVie sings. Even Stevie's Sweet Girl was good.
The classic "Dreams" got so much airplay for 30 years that now people mostly vote for other tracks to hear something else, but it is actually Fleetwood Mac's greatest song.
You need to just download this whole album. There is sooooo much more Fleetwood Mac to listen to. Enjoy the journey.
Young fella, Fleetwood Mac had three songwriters and, being democratic, whoever wrote the song, sung the song. Hence, a rotating lead vocals and a massive variation of music.
And while you're at it please react to Fleetwood Mac's "Big love".
You're awesome!
Each band member sings plays & writes that is why they all sound so different... Eclectic if you will
'You Make Lovin' Fun' by Fleetwood Mac or the live version of 'Rhiannon'
from the Midnight Special.
Do both.
This is a multi-platinum production. Every song shines,pick a number.
Yo...listen to Big Love, Fleetwood Mac song from 1987 🤘
Growing in the 70s and 80s in the uk you couldn't get away from Fleetwood mac it was everywhere but I still love them ❤
React to "Children of the Sun " by Billy Thorpe!!!
My favorite group for the last 40 years. Please listen to them live!!!!
