Tango In The Night - Fleetwood Mac

Fleetwood Mac's 1987 album Tango in the Night was released a decade after their landmark Rumours album and became their next most successful record, selling about 15 million copies worldwide. The first single off the album,Lindsey Buckingham's Big Love, attracted a lot of media attention for two reasons: 1. the video cost a whopping $250,000 to make, a huge amount for a 3 minute video, even in the decadent '80s and 2. the "love grunts" that featured in the song.

Fleetwood Mac's Tango In The Night will always remain special to me as long as I live because it was my first real 'favourite album', and ten years later its brilliance and individuality remains untouchable. By the late 80's the band was running its course and much of the prior emotional baggage had been put to bed, giving each band member a unique opportunity to put their individual touches on the record, and each excelled in order to produce and album without so much as an 'average' track on it (save for the last, at a pinch).
