I don’t remember listening to a record to an extent at how every song could’ve just been released as singles. And just by listening to this album, you can easily tell that there was tension going on between the band members themselves. I’m talking about Rumours (1977), by the one and only Fleetwood Mac. Before I submerge myself deeper within this album, I’ve got a special mention of how this was one of the very first records that I’ve ever owned. I was a young, elfin kid in junior high trying to expand their musical knowledge. And what not better was to pick up this record, where I’ve never heard any of the songs before. And even if I did, I was probably too young to remember. But after listening to it for the first time, I remember feeling as if I’ve experiencing a “musical epiphany” to the extent that during the summer of 2011, I was almost listening to this record on a daily basis, including Breakfast in America (1979,) by Supertramp. These days, I don’t really listen to it much, but if a song comes up on the radio or in my playlists, well I’m not gonna skip it. But if we tend to dig deeper within this record, I want to highlight that there was lots of tension circulating amongst the band members. You can hear it within Lindnsey Buckingham’s vocals as he’s singing The Chain. Or even Stevie Nicks’s expression in Dreams. FYI, those are epic songs for those who are curious. But, I’ve always had the impression that if there were tensions circulating during the production of a record, wouldn’t the result of the album be just awful? Fleetwood Mac obviously proved me wrong. And to still see Rumours pulling off at number 34 on the Billboard charts after 48 years is pretty crazy! I can’t wait to see what’s going to be released when the album turns 50, who knows! However, I need to reiterate how every song in this album could be released as a single, PERIOD. I can go right ahead and bore you to death on each and every song, but I’m not going to. But, allow me to present to you my favourites that stand right out starting with Dreams. I love listening to this soft rock ballad, and the backbeat off of the drums by Mr. Mick Fleetwood is just pure engagement at its finest. Not to mention Go Your Own Way is a killer in my book. You can easily picture this emotional rollercoaster the band was going through, and the guitar solo is just great.
