Lithium Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) Probably the quintessential pop album of the 70s. Buckingham and co. demonstrates an excellent musicianship, just listen to that perfect rhythm om "Dreams". It also contains the ultimate diss song - after the break-up between Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, Buckingham wrote the song "Go Your Own Way" and even made Stevie sing it. Some cold shit right there.I used to prefer Tusk to Rumours actually, but Rumours has really started to grow on me for the past six months or so. It's very understandable that this album has sold more than 25 million copies, it's pop music as it should be made. I's just too bad that it didn't influence future music more.

I used to dismiss them as cheesy-that was before I heard Rumours though. I bought it on vinyl and it sounds amazing. I really think you have to listen to the whole album and not just the radio hits in order to appreciate it fully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBear Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I've always sorta dug a few of their songs but haven't actually decided yet if I like them or not. If that makes sense. They are one band on my list of bands to look into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
