Seriously, Tango in the Night is my favourite Fleetwood Mac album

Big Love, Little Lies, Everywhere, Seven Wonders, Family Man, Isn't It Midnight = ALL AMAZING.

- yeah, it's a great album. not really listened to anything after that, so i assume they actually did turn crap after that.

I love about five Fleetwood Mac tracks more than words can say

But this has never really done much for me. I never even knew it was them until I was an adult, thought this was by the same girl who did Sunshine on a Rainy Day.

where are we saying they turned crap?

not disagreeing, but there were definite degrees of crapness.

Who says the Peter Green line up is the best?

Seriously, Rumours to Tango In The Night is one of the best runs of albums ever.

there's a part of me that's always surprised not to hear Fleetwood Mac sounding mega lo-fi

cause my main exposure to them was a battered old 'best of' tape me and my old housemates found in our house.

Great track.

I seem to know it off by heart despite having not even known it was by fleetwood mac. Don't really know enough about them to offer an opinion on whether they went shit or whatever. Might dig out a best-of or something.

Everywhere is probably the best thing they ever wrote

I think I preferred it when everyone still considered Fleetwood Mac shit

I can't stand them and all of a sudden they're bloody everywhere (ha). I don't think I'd heard a Fleetwood Mac song knowingly before about 2 years ago. Those were the days.

- Weird that they are so influential at the moment
  
  Back in 1987, Tango in the Night was (rightly) seen as pretty much the nadir of commercial, bland AOR radio 2 fodder, yet today seems like nearly every time I go to check out some hotly-tipped DiS/P4K flavour of the month band on YouTube, they've clearly worn out several copies of it. Very, very bizarre. Who's next kids, Level 42?

      Must have belonged to my mum or something. I gave it a listen but couldn't help feeling anything other than :-(
      
      I think Stevie Nicks ruins it for me. Her voice really grates. Plus the super shiny slick production does absolutely nothing for me. Hm.

This is my earliest memory of music

Must have been about 6. So my opinion is entirely biased.

I must've heard Little Lies about four hundred thousand times growing up on local commercial radio, but I had no idea it was a Fleetwood Mac song until last summer 'cause the only album I have is Rumours.

bit weird when that happens, isn't it?

Did anybody else used to get confused

that Lindsey was the bloke and Stevie was the woman.
