FIRST TIME HEARING FLEETWOOD MAC THE CHAIN REACTION

[@BluDynamo]

Seriously, man....Fleetwood Mac are straight-up legends. They changed their sound many times over the decades and it always sounded great. Top top notch band! I also enjoyed the solo works of the various band members....Buckingham, Nicks, and Mcvie have great solo careers. Check it out!

[@chalp1290]

Linsey Buckingham is one of the greatest guitarists of all time!

[@angelaswanson1077]

@@emorsi that is not exactly what happened. He was making many demands that the band wouldn't adhere to. He wanted to go on that tour later than they were planning but it would've interfered with Stevie's solo concert that was happening after the FM tour. So, it created issues, once again, between Stevie and Lindsey. She won the argument and he was fired.

[@emorsi]

@@angelaswanson1077 ...ah okay, it's good to have the facts on the table. If you see an interview with Lindsay on the matter he, of course, tells another story. Basically is, that he seems do not know why there was any kind of problem at all. Something along that line...

Stevie Nicks ( a woman ) and Christie McVie. Lindsey Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie ...check out Go Your Own Way, Rhiannon, Say You Love Me, Tusk, some other good ones.

[@freebirdtony]

Those are some good suggestions.👍 I love how they teamed up with "The Spirit of Troy" (University of Southern California Marching Band) on Tusk. They have so many great tunes. Another excellent number is Hypnotized, an early song of theirs, prior to Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joining the band.

Rumours is a phenomenal album, with "The Chain" being my favorite tune from this album. It's interesting that you said it would make for a perfect song on a road trip, because when any of my friends from Florida (my former home state) come to visit me in San Diego, I crank up this song as we cruise along Pacific Coast Highway, it's a perfect combination. I never get tired of listening to it, and I was in highschool when Rumours was released back in 1977. Thank you for your interest in this Classic.

Few rock bands have ever brought so much talent. This band had three great lead singers who were all great song writers. Buckingham and Nick's were a couple when they joined, broke up, and proceeded to write all of their (mostly bitter and heartbroken) songs about each other. Christine McVie was the keyboardist and wrote and sang lead on a lot of their softer radio hits. Buckingham was an amazing but mostly pretty restrained guitarist. He showed off a bit more when they played live, and they were one if the best live performing bands of their era.

[@zenclover8468]

Need to see thier live stuff, they are exceptional live ! I like some of lindsay Buckingham driven songs with GREAT GUITAR like "go insane" and "big love" but what makes this band stand out are the harmonies and that they have 3 lead singers for different songs.

In 1977 I went on a cross-country road trip with 2 pals. One brought a shoebox-full of cassettes, all with 2 albums each. We thought we had unlimited music! Only problem was this was a 7,000 mile journey, so we heard everything a zillion times. I think Rumours was the most-played album out of the whole lot though.
