Fleetwood Mac

[Tuerto]

For me Rumours is an album with no fillers, once the needle hits the vinyl, it doesn't get lifted until the side has finished and is ready for the 2nd side. edit, my record deck has been in my bedroom for 18 months unused!!!

I'm feel the same way about my Black Lace Album....

No PC/laptop? You can get a USB CD/DVD player quite cheap these days. I ripped all my CD's to FLAC and I have a decent digital music setup.

Several laptops, none with a cd drive.

these days I pay a streaming service to listen to the CDs i already own

Once you try spatial headphone compensation it's hard to go back, as you can place yourself in a perfect listening environment.

Are they the greatest band?
Can’t be far off

No. While very successful, they're not particularly important or influential.

Not played Black Lace for 18 months? disgraceful

Must be in with a shout

Can't agree with that. Chain was the famous F1 theme music and Romours sold 40 million copies, one of which I have. Fantastic band.

influential bands and artists .Hendrix,Dylan,Beatles Stones ,Kinks,rory Gallagher,Peter Green.
I've never owned or played any music by the American version of Fleetwood mac.
Maybe they should have called themselves the new Fleetwood mac just like the New Seekers.

I said they were very successful. And I agree, they've written some great songs. But in the grand scheme of things they're not very important. Of the whole band, Stevie Nicks is the most influential and that's only because of her clothes.

They took their name from Mick Fleetwood & John McVie who were still in the band.

Did I read that right?

You've summed up perfectly why the pop version of Fleetwood Mac would never ever get in my Top 100 bands as they are a 'wistful, soft rock band'. My favourite bands and artists always have to have a harder edge to them with one or two notable exceptions.

Name me some indie pop bands that you think were influenced by them?

As for selling out stadiums, so have lots of totally utterly shite bands and artists (especially the more dreadful 'pop' acts) played, if not sold out, venues like Wembley Stadium.

Well I didn't know that. 😂😂

[MacAdder]

I'd rather jack..

[Wales-Bales]

Well I didn't know that. ����

18 different people have been in the band, so the Rumours iteration would have been known as the New, New, New, New, New, New Fleetwood Mac

I've always regarded them as three different bands. I'm a big fan of the Peter Green era. The Buckingham/Nicks era I can take or leave. I have a couple of their albums and greatest hits, but I really have to be in the mood for it, which is not often.

But people forget, maybe don't even realise about the six albums that were made in-between these two eras, which saw various line up changes. This era is patchy too, but there's some good stuff in there that I prefer to the Buckingham/Nicks era.
