One of a handful of albums you can say that about.

[@kennethcelorio4937]

No offense to anyone who's from any other generation but those of us who came up in the 70s and 80s experienced the greatest music ever. No Auto-Tune, no computers. Just instruments and extremely talented singers.

[@seltonk5136]

Who cares if you offend them. They are dumb as shite and they don't care if they offend you

[@lauraallen55]

This was the song Stevie wrote after she and Lindsey broke up to express how she felt. The song he wrote about the same event was Go Your Own Way. Well, Secondhand News too. They're so powerful because they're authentic just like you said. They truly don't like one another, but will always love one another. What they were going through during the writing, arranging, recording, producing of Rumours was very painful and angst-ridden due to the breakup of such a long term relationship with such deep feelings. Rumours is a standout album among albums still after all these years.

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Yes, growing up in the 70s/80s, we just thought all this great music, including from the 60s, was just normal and would continue forever. We had no idea the bounty of incredible music we had was so unique and special. For me, music past the early 90s changed for the worse and has only gotten worse. There are some exceptions, but overall the old stuff is far, far superior and will be listened to for centuries.

[@marilyncornell2194]

Agreed

[@myroselle6987]

Talent without the need to run around the stage half naked or use every trick just to sound okay…. Those were the days….

[@gistechrep3816]

So good! A couple of years ago when I had a Facebook account a High School (girl) friend said to me "hey, remember when your mom drove us to the Fleetwood Mac concert?!" Wow! That was in 1974 or '75. Those were the days my friends.

[@jenniferfoster1692]

@@gistechrep3816 You got to see Fleetwood Mac back in the day?!! Wow, amazing. Yes, it was just all there for us to experience & seemed so normal, all the great music. Looking back at the 60s/70s/80s, it was just an incredibly special time for music.

[@marcieharreld286]

"Our" music, will outlive us all!!!The 60's, 70's & 80's music ROCKS!!!🎶🎼🎵🎹🎤🎸🔥🥁💜🤘🤘🤘

[@jeremyshelman9716]

Thank You for validating on of the greatest joys of my life. When I was young, I thought this music would last forever. Dreams is skimming the surface of Stevie Nicks. There are so many artists and so many "Dreams" yet to be found in this era. This is what humans are capable of and it is extremely sad what autotuned monstrosities we've chosen to present as worthy of attention these days.

[@timothywarner9139]

It was so awesome being a teenager in the 70s so much incredible music constantly coming out... Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rush. Steely Dan, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd. ZZ Top, Cheap Trick, Black Sabbath,Bob Seger, Styx, ELO, The Outlaws it's was just such a great time for music and I love that younger people are now enjoying it and shows we knew good music👍

[@donnabruhn6907]

It was equally as good in my 20's

[@jodij6280]

Kansas.

[@noraelliott7304]

Eagles, America, Boston,.Guess Who, BTO....on and on. Such great music.

[@davidstovall8573]

Yes indeed. I graduated high school n 1975. Our generation was privileged to all of it starting with Elvis. Incidentally, I just told a friend of mine that Fleetwood Mac and Led Zeppelin were my two favorite bands! The first two bands mentioned on your list :-)

[@robinbeers6689]

You mean that it's not just because I am becoming an old fart that I think 99% of modern music is dreck?

[@sonjarussell7332]

Rumors. One of the best albums ever made. Period. I think I wore my album out listening to it in my room. Even over four decades later I still remember every note and word and emotion. Great reaction, thank you. Glad to see the younger generations discover what we grew up with and appreciate real talent. Next react to their song “Tusk” it’s in a category all its own. Do a live and studio version. Live is better. Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie each have very distinctive voices. You’ll tell them apart very quickly. Great job, more please!

[@snarklefritz]

You’ve gotta hear Silver Springs. So beautiful. The saga of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham gave us some of the best music ever.

[@aleatharhea]

That involuntary chill you got, that was because the backing vocals come in right there and they're real nice, so far back in the mix, you barely notice them. I learned this song recently for my band and had to listen real hard to pull out those two vocal parts. They say, "Heartbeat.. Stillness... Know me... Ooh ooh... Ooh ooh."

[@trinahouseman698]

Not "know me" its "LONE-LY"

[@aleatharhea]

@@trinahouseman698 makes sense. Nobody will have ever known the difference but thanks

[@ptxaholic]

Stevie has one of those iconic voices that you'll never mistake for anyone else. It's part of why this music is so good, it's got a lot of oomph I like silver springs and go your own way, you'd really like that one

[@steveshute3810]

Just imagine how many times this song was played over and over and over and over on the radio in the 70s. She has the voice of an angel.

[@TheInkdN3rd]

The drama you started to read on was one of the biggest fueling factors in how great Rumours was/is. The lyrics. The passion. The despair. Turmoil. And out of the chaos...came one of the greatest albums of all time. Any "top greatest albums of all time" list always has it in the top 3, toggling back & forth with Abbey Road & Thriller. And Stevie is a voice you will soon realize that is one of one. You'll be able to pick her out anywhere. That soft but strong melodic trill in her voice, sort of a tremble in her notes. So pure & raw. There's a reason she is the 1st woman inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of fame twice. First with Fleetwood Mac & then by herself. You should check out Go Your Own Way or Songbird from Rumours. A couple not on Rumours but equally as perfect, are Gypsy & Little Lies. Landslide gives you way more Stevie, & for some Stevie solos if you want, check out Edge of Seventeen or Stop Dragging My Heart Around.

[@dranet47]

One of the greatest albums in music history. You can't go wrong with any of the songs on there.

[@Maizy1985]

This album is so special and was one of my favs in 77...so happy to see people like you reacting to the music that I grew up with and really appreciating the absolute brilliance that it was. Still gives me chills. There are many great female singers out there but there will always only ever be one Stevie Nicks. You'd love Edge of Seventeen, I can't Wait and so many other songs from her solo career.

[@christinerobinson9372]

Her lyrics are deeply personal.

[@crnel]

Fleetwood Mac, in its "classic" lineup which appears on Rumours, where the song "Dreams" appears, has 3 "lead singers" - Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, and Lindsey Buckingham. Each of these three singers have songs in Fleetwood Mac that they individually sing lead on - and the rest will sing backup vocals with good harmonies. Or sometimes more than one will sing the lead in harmony with each other.

[@charlesgervais4673]

This album ruled the airwaves in 1977 and a few years beyond. Most of the songs saw airplay on both AM and FM radio, on both rock and easy-listening radio. It was everywhere. Their popularity really grew when Stevie Nicks joined the band in '75. They had a follow-up up album in '79, but Stevie embarked on a solo career soon after and Fleetwood Mac never saw the same level of success.

[@Quincysof]

Love Stevie Nicks. My best friend had the vinyl album and I had the 8 track lol

[@JimiBurleigh]

The Buckingham/Nicks era was the third incarnation of Fleetwood Mac. The first one was the original Peter Green era. Peter Green wrote the song "Black Magic Woman" and FM recorded it about a year before Santana. If you have never heard the original version I would recommend it. The next era, albeit brief, was with Bob Welsh. "Hypnotized" is probably the most recognizable track of that period. Then there's the Buckingham/Nicks era when they had their greatest success. You should check out some of each of the different sounds from each era.

[@alisonmontana8895]

Enjoyed your reaction, it's hard to explain to someone how it was to turn on your radio every day to hear brilliance, there is almost never an end to 70's music. It's hard getting old, but I wouldn't change growing up in the 70's for a million dollars. My hobby was going to concerts, I've seen almost everyone I wanted to, only a few I didn't get to see live.

[@nickjohnson1445]

"Tusk" from The Dance is a must

[@maryanngarrimone1153]

It's my favorite Fleetwood Mac song. So awesome!!! I never get tired of listening to this one. 💖💖💖

[@decidingdifferent272]

real and authentic... exactly why i love this music, especially fleetwood mac...

[@Zackary_]

6:57 This is the best explanation I’ve ever heard as to why I truly love listening and watching reaction videos. Seeing someone hear certain songs for the first time is just special to see, and the closest thing to recreating it ourselves. Awesome video man, definitely subscribed 🙏🏼

[@sharonspiller7427]

You nailed it. I get so much joy from watching people react to the soundtrack of my life. As you said, it’s recapturing the feeling of hearing these incredible songs for the first time.

[@ShinyElfriend]

I was ten years old when Rumours came out. My best friend's mother played it non-stop when I was over at the house. It really takes me back. There is so much music to discover for me too, and I was there, lol. I'm so happy you're enjoying this era of music. I particularly like song "The Chain." I think Stevie Nicks with her unique husky voice and her gypsy-like style captured the attention more than her other band mates. The personal relationships complicated matters, but I think they eventually all realized that their success depended on each other. Stevie Nicks had an incredible duet with Tom Petty when she was solo, "Stop Dragging My Heart Around," and another cool one with Don Henley from the Eagles, "Leather and Lace."

[@connieleslie9076]

This was my favorite song as soon as I heard it in 1978 and it has remained my favorite as of today. And I listen to A LOT of music.

[@normlee6566]

Stevie nicks has said she wrote Dreams in ten minutes in a room under the studio of Sly Stone. The song was in response to Lindsey Buckingham's bitter Go Your Own Way which he wrote after the two broke up. Both songs were hits. Can you imagine having to play those songs live in concert while being on stage with the person the songs are about for the world to hear? This band wrote about its personal heartbreaks, including with each other. That is one reason its fans are so loyal. Brutally honest band.

[@PassionGrows]

From 1975 on the 3 singers were Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie. They all contributed to the band . In 1991 the band broke up but reunited in 1997 when they recorded The Dance Live. They released the video of that concert it was an AMAZING performance by the band which threw them back into the game . After touring for The Dance ….Christine McVie decided she was done and retired . The band went on without her and recorded another great album called Say You Will in 2001. They have been touring ever since but never recorded another album. Christine McVie came back after 14 years and joined them on two worldwide tours. Stevie Nicks has had her own very successful SOLO career since 1981s Belladonna. Stevie Nicks was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. Making her the first female ever to be inducted twice. Once with the band and once as a solo. Check out STEVIE nicks solo music….Edge of Seventeen, Leather and Lace w Don Henley, Stop Dragging my Heart Around w Tom Petty, Whenever I Call You Friend w Kenny Loggins,Stand Back, Beauty and The Beast, Talk To Me, Has Anyone Ever Written Anything For You, I Can’t Wait, Rock a Little, Fall From Grace, Trouble in Shan-Gri-La, Italian Summer, Moonlight ( A Vampires Dream) and many many more.

[@fay0011]

I'm a late 70's baby & grew up listening to this group. My parents love them. My Dad still has his original vinyl copy from then. We always pop it on when I'm home visiting. Vinyl is the best, too. When that needle drops, I get goosebumps!

[@davidstevenson6817]

Whoever wrote the song in this band was the lead singer on the song which is why all of their albums have a different feeling in every song which really is why Fleetwood Mac did so well and built up different fan bases

Fleetwood Mac singing Rhiannon live on the Midnight Special in 76. The band's performance is great and Stevie Nicks is spectacular.

[@trinahouseman698]

At 4:40 that involuntary chill was from the backing vocals saying " heartbeat....stillness.....lonely...."

I was lucky enough to see them in 1990 at Compton Terrace in Phoenix, AZ! EPIC CONCERT ♥️♥️

[@GypsySorcerer]

Check out "Gypsy" and "That's Alright" from the Mirage album, and "Sisters of the Moon" live. My favorite version is from the '79 Tusk documentary.

[@k_salter]

This entire album is crazy great. This tour was my first concert in '77 and I'll never forget it. You might consider just going through this entire album, too. (unless that's what you're doing now). Watching your joy brought back some good memories; enjoyed this!

[@Una...]

You're spot on! Watching you listen to it for the first time is much like getting to hear for the first time myself! It's such a rush of nostalgia, love, wonderment-really.

[@steveullrich7737]

[@tracynorman1455]

I remember listening to this with my sister as a 5 yr old in kindergarten. My sister was a senior in H.S. And had this album. 💜

[@jfrisaro]

The Rumours album is so great and the backstories are something. All the breakup songs are the bands own breakups with each other. They’d fight, breakup and make them into hits together. Yes, it’s authentic bc it’s their own heartbreaks.

[@Billis75]

This song, Dreams is mostly Stevie Nicks singing. The chorus features all three (Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, Christine McVie). When you heard The Chain, that was Lindsey and Stevie doing a back and forth with Christine adding some vocals in the chorus. In Go Your Own Way, that was mostly Lindsey Buckingham singing, with Stevie and Christine in the chorus. If you want a more Christine-focused vocal, there are slower ballads like Oh Daddy and Songbird, but I think you'll really like You Make Loving Fun. It's one of the more optimistic songs on Rumours.

[@cj123123]

Music from my youth. It is just fun to share your enjoyment, thanks for your reactions!

This whole album is perfect, there is jog a misplaced note or sound in the entire production, everything had it's place and to listen to the whole album right through for the first time is pure joy, and it really is something upu shroud do.

It's called SONGBIRD,and you will adore it! Please react to it in honor of her.Thanks!

Mick Fleetwood blew me away at a concert... (can't remember which one, my mom would take me every year they came) he had a drum suit on and gave the most memorable drum solo ever. He is the most underestimated drummers out there. I love his beat

[@traceydsm]

It is my favorite Fleetwood Mac song as well. During their commercial prime, Stevie, LIndsey, and Christine shared lead vocal chores. As you know now, this song is Stevie Nicks.

[@KawaTony1964]

It was their 11th album, but only the 2nd with Stevie and Lindsay. There's lots of great music from the pre-Lindsay/Stevie era, also. Check out "Oh Well", "Sentimental Lady" (you've probably heard this one and don't realize it), and "Hypnotized".

[@olanaowen7320]

You can never be overdramatic about the power of Stevie Nicks voice, or Steve Perry for that matter.

[@Pait728]

Getting a #1 single in the 70's was far more difficult than it is today. So many genius acts and only so many songs that could be played in a day. No MTV yet, FM was in it's rock infancy. (Some cars didn't even have FM radios in them.) So AM radio, movie/TV soundtracks and shows like The Midnight Special or Saturday Night Live were really the only way to reach a mass audience. The album, however, was #1 it seems like forever.

[@judyflanigan8814]

The entire Rumors album is great! I also highly suggest watching The Dance. It’s a live show from 1997. Silver Springs from that show is AMAZING.

[@BringItMAGA]

They didn't reach number one more than once because of the competition. It was the 70s. The greatest decade of rock.

Lots of good in 1977. We had the Rumors album, George Lucas gave us the original Star Wars, and also sadly we lost the great Elvis Presley. This was an iconic summer for me and I will always remember being a teen hanging out late nights on the beach in NC, listening to this song and many many more great hits from the time. This will always take me back to the arcades on the beach.

On Dreams, Stevie is the vocalist. This may be the 11th album, but it's only the 2nd with the most famous lineup.

Thank you for expressing this. Although reality is relative..........and the song is called 'Dreams', you are actually getting to how we all express our idea of 'reality'....which might be a dream. You are wonderful.

[@hejiranyc]

Fleetwood Mac is not considered R&B music by any stretch, but "Dreams" comes dang close. It just has such a slinky, effortless soulful vibe without being too on-the-nose. It's unlike any other song ever recorded by Fleetwood Mac, yet, it is their signature track. Truly lightning in a bottle.

[@landrelarose745]

I want to type that the favorite song I have that Stevie sings is called Rhiannan. Yes, I know it wasn't their absolute best song, except it continues to be that to me. You should absolutely listen to it.

When I think of Stevie Nicks, I automatically think of the song "Gypsy". For Fleetwood Mac as a whole, it's "Tusk"

Stevie IS Magic & Lindsey is a WIZARD.

[@scottbeaton1519]

Oh my God 40 seconds in and you said the one reason I watch reactions is because I like to see people react to my favorite songs because it reminds me of the first time I heard it so you are absolutely correct in my mind maybe not everyone else's but you're right

Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks did one album in 1973 before they joined Fleetwood Mac called Buckingham Nicks. My dad bought me that album and I still have it. Check it out on KZbin. You can listen to the whole album.
