First Time Hearing Fleetwood Mac "Dreams" Reaction | Asia and BJ

[@martinarchbold6168]

Hi guys. Stevie wrote and sang this song in response to her partner's (Lindsey Buckingham) song "Go your own way" when they were splitting up as a couple. The whole album featured songs relating to the various problems within the group. It is still one of the best albums ever made by any group.

[@sentinelmortgagecorp4291]

There were three singers in the classic Fleetwood Mac lineup. In addition to Stevie there was Christine McVie (keyboard player) and Lindsey Buckingham (guitar player - ranked in the Top 100 of all time, btw). Stevie has the MAGICAL voice but the other two are very very good. Check out Go Your Own Way to hear Lindsey and You Make Loving Fun to hear Christine.

[@PongGod]

I think Christine's voice is very underrated since Stevie gets most of the attention. There are several songs where Christine takes the lead that are excellent.

Cause she’s extremely charismatic

[@shirleymongold9491]

When Fleetwood Mac first came out I remember there were rumors that Stevie was a white witch. The first time I saw them perform, I believed it because you could not look away from her. She was mesmerizing.

[@seanmillette4323]

She also used to start “Rhiannon” by saying it was a song about an old Welsh witch.

[@richardfox1605]

That's pure charisma a captivating presence. She needed no magic other than herself

I‘m not the biggest fan of 70s music but „Rumours“ was one of the best albums in popmusic. Fleetwood Mac were an amazing group.

[@ineverswag]

Thats a bummer cause the 70s is really the best decade when it comes to music and films.

[@billallen1307]

Fleetwood Mac IS an amazing group.

[@Guitardudeftw]

[@ineverswag]

@@Guitardudeftw probably isnt a decade that was packed with more classic films than the 70s. So many great directors made landmark films during that decade.

[@thedogwoods5716]

What’s wrong with 70’s music?

[@mcbeezee2120]

So you've fallen under the spell of the vocals of Stevie Nicks. So many have.😁 If you ever listen to "Sara"(original studio version from "Tusk"), be prepared to again make your way through that soothing, mesmerizing labyrinth that is Stevie.

[@Eroticwitch]

Hey there. Just to let you know, this was one of the all time monster hits of the 70's, which helped catapult Fleetwood Mac into the stratosphere.

[@kenrk]

Stevie is usually the lead singer, but there are a few hits where either Lindsey Buckingham or Christine McVie sing. A shame nobody ever reacts to Christine's songs such as: You Make Loving Fun, Don't Stop, and Songbird. She also had a couple of solo hits: Got a Hold on Me, and Love Will Show Us How.

[@MatthewC137]

I prefer Christine's voice and songwriting.

[@JayTor2112]

And Oh Daddy

[@irishgrl]

I’m not a fan of Christine’s work.

[@MatthewC137]

@@irishgrl that's interesting since McVie wrote and sang lead on more Top 40 FM hits than both of her singing-songwriting bandmates combined: nine for McVie, compared to five for Nicks and three for Buckingham. Not to mention she wrote 8 out of the 16 songs that made it onto their greatest hits album.

"Over my head " gives Christy McVeigh a chance to showcase her amazing vocals by Fleetwood Mac.

[@beterbutz]

Yes, I almost prefer her to Stevie Nicks.

[@necalovescake]

@@beterbutz i think nicks has a more interesting voice, more personality and feel to it. but mcvie has a far superior voice technically, in terms of range, clarity, the usual metrics people would judge a vocalists ability by. christine mcvie is a truly great singer. songbird is the vocal highlight of the rumours album.

[@alanlantz5131]

You're in my top 5 reactionist. You're both so sweet, well spoken (great vocabulary) kind hearted and total rock and roll folks.

Lovely to watch your surprised faces when listening to a banger or discovering a new band. Musical empaths

If they weren’t so messed up at the time, they probably couldn’t have made this album. Drugs, random and wanton acts of sex, more drugs.

[@dannwalker9865]

Stevie Nicks has a legendary voice! Just beautiful, saw Fleetwood Mac a few years ago and she still sounds amazing 🎵🎶🔥🔥

[@markwillis675]

This song is her response to her ex, Lindsey's song titled "Go your own way." He's the guitar player and part time singer.

[@bartstarr100]

I thought it was a response to the Song "Crystal" from Buckingham/Nicks and the previous FM album.

[@michaela8706]

Good reaction. It is Stevie Nicks singing on this one. On cover of the Rumours album is Mick Fleetwood (Drummer) and Stevie Nicks. The band is named after Mick Fleetwood and John McVie (bassist) Fleetwood Mac had 3 lead singers, Lindsay Buckingham (guitar), Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie (Keyboards). Each wrote their own songs and they usually split the number of songs between them on each album. the song "The Chain" was mostly Buckingham, but all 3 sung on it and was co-written by the entire band. Others you can do is "Go Your Own Way" (Buckingham), "Don't Stop" (McVie) and "Rhiannon" (Nicks) If you do "Rhiannon" do the version from the Midnight Special, it is killer. Thanks and God Bless Oh, and P.S. there is a huge rabbit hole of hits with them as well.

[@beautifulbliss5883]

You should watch the live music video of this song. The fact that Stevie Nicks and the Guitarist we're dating, broke up and still did this song together. It kinda adds in a dynamic of Stevie and the guitar is going back and forth, like they are talking almost.

[@viacrucis2509]

This was on the biggest selling album of all time at the time. I was about 19 or 20 when it was released. Yes, I find that time between 78-80 to be a transition period in pop rock. Them, cheap trick, supertramp. I remember being enthralled.

[@stevetanner3019]

From the same album: “Go Your Own Way”, “Don’t Stop”, “You Make Lovin’ Fun” and “Songbird” are all incredible. The two couples in this band were breaking up while this album was being written.

[@conrad98gtp]

You guys should watch a documentary on the making of this record, Rumors. It will open your eyes to what fueled all of their creativity for this legendary record. All the songs were interpersonal between the members. Two couples going through two breakups, and Mick Fleetwood, the drummer. Songs being sung about each other.

[@simianinc]

Everyone in the band sings their own songs. The others often do backing vocals

[@ScottMorris7385]

This is one of my top 5 favorite songs of all time. IMHO the top four FM songs are DREAMS, THE CHAIN, RIHANNNON, and LANDLSIDE, I would also add the other woman in this band also has a beautiful voice, her name is Christene McVie. My favorite of hers is SONGBIRD. To check out Stevies boyfriend Lindsey Buckingham, check out the live version of GO YOUR OWN WAY, from the 1997 dance tour....it is fire!!! and remember players always love you when they play you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@seanmillette4323]

The chain is my favorite. Great album

Fleetwood Mac are a British-American rock band, formed in London in 1967. Their album "Rumours" (1977) has sold over 40 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums in history. All the songs on it are great. "Go Your Own Way", "Dreams", "Don't Stop", "You Make Loving Fun". "Second Hand News", "Gold Dust Woman" & "The Chain". Other great songs from other albums are "Over My Head", "Say You Love Me", "Rhiannon", "Landslide", "Tusk", "Think About Me", "Sara", "Hold Me", "Love In Store", "Gypsy", "Oh Diane" etc.

[@my.business]

*One of the best albums made by Fleetwood Mac. It was Grammy winner in 1977 for album of the year.*

[@VerchielxKanda]

And just imagine, the person she's singing about is dueting with her. XD Fleetwood Mac was the Soap Opera rock band for many years. I definitely recommend seeing the full documentary on them. If I can remember correctly, the Rumors album was done completely with each band member in a separate room, cause they couldn't stand each other's presences. The song The Chain is representing what brought them altogether to begin with: their love of music and all of their hard work finally making it big. They all write and sing that one!

[@dickcnormis1444]

Three singers, Stevie Nicks, Lyndsey Buckingham and Christine McVie. All three sing lead on various songs and all three do the harmonies.

[@lisar.6670]

I totally agree with #MARTINARCHBOLD .. For studio albums .. "Rumors" has to be the bands best album. There isn't a bad song in its entirety. Don't misunderstand .. Fleetwood Mac have written and recorded many a great songs. However, its rare to find a full album that no one has a bad thing to say about it. The two pictured are Stevie Nicks and Mick Fleetwood (drummer) .. Stevie, Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie all sang .. but if you had to pick a lead singer than that would be Stevie for sure. Lindsey did his share of singing also.

[@blastingweevil2968]

Stevies voice is just soo damn good it is truly like listening to an angel.

[@ColoradoOwl]

I love how you guys are loving this album and the band. One of the BEST bands of all time. Hope you guys enjoy it it's AWESOME!

[@tchampagne1494]

I saw Fleetwood Mac along with Loggins and Messina, and The Eagles in Tampa Bay Stadium on July 4th, 1976. It was an amazing Bicentennial concert. It happened to also be the day my divorce from my first husband became final. A day of celebrations, the music was devine, fireworks galore, the Eagles lit up a giant Eagle behind the stage at the end, it was also the first concert tour with Joe Walsh. What a day that was, a real stand out in 68 years of memories. Unfortunately, Fleetwood Mac hadn't released the Rumors album yet, still a truly wonderful day of music. This song is a standout, on a standout album.

[@GaryNoone-jz3mq]

Fleetwood Mac had three songwriters and whoever wrote the song, sung the song. Hence, they had three lead singers. Lindsay Buckingham, Christine Mc Vie and Stevie Nicks.

[@radioethiopiate9327]

There were two couples in the band at the time going through break ups while making this album. I mean the members of each couple were all in this band. And they all wrote songs about each other and their relationships. And when they sing harmony vocals it's three of them around one mic, singing songs about their own breakup written by the person standing next to them. And it's the best album of this lineup. Just amazing stuff.

One of the best albums of the mid to late 70s - and that's saying a lot! 3 lead singers, all equally good. There were 3 guys and 2 women in the band, and two breakups happening when this album was recorded. Sure made for a great record though. These days they just need Lindsey Buckingham back in the band...

[@stevebengel1346]

It was a killer stretch for great albums from 76 to 80: Boston's debut, Hotel California, Breakfast In America, Rumours, Boz Scaggs with Silk Degrees and the list goes on...

Lol BJ...the entire Rumors album is about everyone breaking up. Stevie and Lindsey, Christine and John and even Mick and Stevie at a point. Listen to "The Chain." This explains a lot. The beauty of FM is diversity. Stevie may have lead vocals a lot but there are popular songs with both Lindsey and Christine lead. Dreams was huge!! And still played a lot. ❤👍🏽

[@tinahairston6383]

I would say Stevie Nicks sang lead for most of their biggest hits. Christine McVie sang lead on a few hits. On the album cover, that's Mick Fleetwood co-founder and drummer with Stevie Nicks. Lindsey Buckingham sang lead on a few songs so it was a sharing of lead vocals.

[@Frostrazor]

This album is all relationship therapy that addressed the inner turmoil between bandmates. Stevie and the male lead vocal Lindsey Buckingham were IRL couple as well as bandmates, but they had a falling out. This album literally is about their rocky relationship - but done with so much class that they remained a band and played it all together - and went on to be their best album by far.

Stevie sounds mystical and magical.

[@MrDiddyDee]

You guys need to check one of Christine McVie songs, she's the other female singer in the band, a great songwriter and keyboard player, she doesn't get the attention she deserves. 'Songbird' and 'Warm waves' are a couple of hers I'd highly recommend. Lindsey Buckingham is the male singer in the band, when he joined Fleetwood Mac he and Stevie were an item, and they'd already released an album as a duo. Mick Fleetwood (the drummer) heard their tracks and invited Lindsey to join the band, but Lindsey only accepted as long as they took on Stevie too.
