These relational ...  Read the complete review

When I was about 14 I heard the song "Go your own Way" at my friends house. I had heard of Fleetwood Mac, but didn't really know any of their songs, and my friend played me the whole "Rumours" album (which was her parents). I loved this album and went out and bought it straight away, and it has been one of my ...  Read the complete review

Formed somewhere in London around the mid sixties, Mick Fleetwood, Peter Green, Bob Brunning (later axed for Jon McVie) and Jeremy Spencer drove a rough old van around the lesser known delights of The Swan in Fulham and The Toby Jug in Tolworth hoping for something better. It was probably far from their minds that it would take Fleetwood Mac a ...  Read the complete review

What can I say, this album is quite simply a masterpiece. Every track is outstanding. The harmonies, the guitar, the basslines, the lyrics, it's hard to find anything that lets it down. My favourite track is "Go Your Own Way". The worst track is "Oh Daddy". The album is even more interesting to listen to after reading ...  Read the complete review

Being a mere youth, I discovered this album in the relatively modern times of 1988. A mate had convinced me to travel down to Birmingham and the NEC to see a dated band called Fleetwood Mac on a May Saturday night. Second track in they did a cover of the BBC Grand Prix theme music and I never looked back. Monday morning it was off to ...  Read the complete review

A few months after "Rumours" came out I was walking through part of the residential quarters and I could hear a track from the album playing in each of the rooms. That's how popular "Rumours" was. The album is simply a brilliant combination of musical styles and voices ...  Read the complete review

It was the second album released by the ...  Read the complete review
