| | | Fleetwood Mac Rumours. This is my choice for the best album ever written. Flawless. Every lyric, note, and beat on the album is fucking flawless. It is anger, heartbreak, and celebration of the life and death of relationships. Each song accusing and arguing an accusation and accepting the outcome of the demise.
And listening to it always puts me in some kind of trance. It just pulls me back to my childhood. One of my first memories. In my parent's first house. Standing on the hardwood floors in osh kosh overalls, buster browns with my blankie and favorite stuffed pooch, Snoopy, staring at the album cover. I was so drawn to the album. My dad had an amazing album collection. This was the one I picked out and was fascinated with. Actually, it was my mom's record. I would get my mom to play it. I remember my mom would dance around and sang You Make Loving Fun to me. I must have been three years old at the most. I didn't even grasp the meaning behind the album until much later. But, already, it had a huge impact on me. Everytime I think of my childhood, it is the soundtrack. That, and the Rolling Stones Emotional Rescue. Hearing the song can just pull me back to a certain time and place. It reminds me of the great times I had in my childhood. And the rockiness of my parent's marriage. I can still hear the pop and scratch of my dad's record player needle listening to the cd now.
What is everyone else's feelings of this album? |

| | | I love it. I never thought I would get into it, then one day I went out and bought it and listened to it a couple of times over. And came quickly to really like it. The songs work perfectly together, that's the key to its magic.

| | | A not so great Rumours moment. Getting pissed while cleaning my old apartment. At the end of a relationship. Blaring Dreams and singing it to my ex over the cell phone. Packing his fucking bags. One of those really over the top gay traumatic moments. |

| | | I have much repsect for fleetwood mac
and rumors is my favourite
But I was never head over heels for it. To me, the album sounds dated at this point in time. The technical side is superb, but the lyrics and melodies just too fluffy, especially numbers like "songbird". The songs just never really resonated with me the way more modern music has.
Maybe it's just my age showing, or the fact that songs like "don't stop" and "go your own way" were slaughtered on tv adverts and presidential campaigns. I also wasn't exposed to them in any way other than mom and dad's LP collection until I heard the smashing pumpkins cover landslide. |

Agreed, unimpeachable album taking the listener to highs and lows that all others since have failed to reach, due to the complete breakdown of inter-band relationships and the delightfully mental Stevie Nicks.
Rumours is what it is due to a crazy set of circumstances that will never be replicated at a time long gone.
I think I have just found a KR thread that means something special to me.  |

| | Great album. In the US it spent like a zillion weeks at #1.
I was at a family picnic when I first heard Dreams on the radio.  |

really. i feel like this is one of a few timeless records. and the lyrics are part of that. and yes, the album is almost iconic to an era. at least when i think about my early childhood, i hear those songs. it paints a picture of my childhood. but, it is something that i feel if it were released in this era, it would have the same phenomenal success. i can't think of a time when in my life when i put this album, cassette, or cd on, and feel as though it couldn't compete with the songs of that era. |

| | | Just a side note ~ when your feeling even more intrigued ~ listen to Tusk alone at a high volume. Its not Rumuors but as far as being the next step ~ Lindsey had it spot on. There are some great songs on there and the production for its time was amazing. |

Or lots of double albums I suppose. If you do, it really pays off. Most of us will have had worse afternoons...
