LIke idk I keep realizing so many songs I liked hearing growing up hearing radio, was fleetwood mac...like those guys were awesome. Idk does anyone else just finding themselves vegging out on their music like I do.

Idk I love fleetwood mac and probably not everyone does, but damn their songs are still good, still can't get enough of it. Stevie Nicks is an awesome singer how can one not appreciate her. IDK the point of this thread I guess does anyone else like her.

I bought their album Tusk in 1979 with pocket money.

Have long loved Fleetwood Mac.

Managed to see them in concert in London pre-covid, when all were still alive & playing onstage together, before the split with Lindsay Buckingham.

Saw “Daisy Jones & The Six” more recently (loosely based on them), the 2023 drama. There are some good books based on their lives & history out there.

Love Fleetwood Mac.

The band fell together in a unique fortuitous way in that it was coed in both performing talent and in songwriting talent.

You get both voices in their songs, and you also get both gender's povs in the lyrics.

I wasn't really into them as a kid in the 70s / 80s.
I never liked bands with female singers.

In the 90s I started to like a few of their songs, esp. Seven Wonders and Tusk.

Then AprilR made me notice how great Stevie Nicks is.
I really love her voice.

Landslide is lovely.
Songbird is one of my songs with MR.

I like Fleetwood Mac, but I've never knowingly heard anything by the more recent version of the band. The original Fleetwood Mac did some good blues:

They also did a single called Oh Well (Part 1) that was a bit more virtuoso and quite innovative.

All a matter of taste of course.

Break The Chain sounds like it should be a '90s beatdown/hardcore song name.

I like a few of their songs, but I'm not particularly into them.

I don't care for their very early music because it was a bit too bluesy for me. However their later music is really good, especially the stuff with Stevie Nicks. I think someone from Tom Petty was in the band as well at one point which also made Fleetwood Mac better.

Makes sense when you listen to the song.
