Rhiannon from their self-titled album.

There was always a “funny smell” in the house when my parents dimmed the lights and blasted the Rumors album as a kid.

Just to give you an idea how big Fleetwood Mac is I bet you your High School band played one of their songs it's called Tusk

Gold Dust Woman from Rumours, please. Stevie is OFF THE CHAIN ! Also, There's a gigantic song from Stevie that was left off Rumours that I believe is one of her finest hours.(I'd recommend the original, not live.) Great hanging with my favorite music gang- cheers !

The Rumors album was one of those vinyls that EVERYONE had in their collection. Keep going through the album

I'm a guitarist, but the bassline of this song is straight cash.

How about doing an "offshoot" of Fleetwood Mac-"Stop Draggin' My Heart Around"? This song was on Stevie Nicks' first solo album and reached number one. It is a duet with Tom Petty and was written by Tom Petty. Speaking of Tom Petty, why haven't you checked out Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers?

The production you can thank Lindsey Buckingham for. The man is a GENIUS!

That whole album was dirty laundry being aired.

And yes, every song on Rumours is a masterpiece. Which is why in 1977, it stayed at #1 for 31 weeks on your charts there, and was the biggest selling album of all time at that point.

GOLD DUST WOMAN has cow bell..nuff said? Lol Plus the lyrics are amazing.

One would think that these bands with 40 year old hits would be grateful that guys like you are bringing their music back into the mainstream.

"second hand news" by Fleetwood Mac is my personal favorite.

Yes! The song that sold me on Fleetwood Mac. I know it’s a time commitment, but y’all really should do a live reaction on like a Friday night where you watch the entire concert “The Dance.” It’s incredible, plus the solos are insane! Please!

You guys need to react to "Layla" by Derek & the Dominoes

Fleetwood Mac and The Eagles are the two best bands to come out of that era. Easily two of the best bands ever. I mean when everyone in the band is capable of singing lead you can't go wrong

I absolutely love Mick Fleetwood’s drumming on the verses- it’s almost tribal and it has this pull that completely unpredictable with the melody line.

You do know that Fleetwood Mac is named after the rhythm section of the band, right? Mick Fleetwood on drums and John McVie on bass. The only two members around since the band's inception and tons of lineup changes. Very solid and innovative. When you listen to all of the songs on 'Rumours' individually, you can pick out the stronger tracks from the weaker tracks. Not all are tens, but they are all nine point somethings. But when you listen to the album from start to finish, you come to realize that the whole is greater than the tunes by themselves. A very solid TEN of an album. Glad to see you two liking it so far.

Lindsay Buckingham produced the album. Considering the turmoil in the band the results are pretty amazing. Lindsay griping and Stevie tried to get him to change the lyrics because they are kind of personal. Yes, Lindsay plays with his fingers. As many have already said, the whole album is great. You have three great songwriters.

Rumors is amazing, so is the 1975 self titled album, not a low point in that one either

Fleetwood Mac's self titled album from 1975 was almost as good as Rumours! It was on the top 10 of the Billboard album charts for months. The album was 7x platinum. I call it the preview album leading up to Rumours. "I'm So Afraid", "Monday Morning", "Blue Letter", "Rhiannon", "Landslide", and "Crystal" were the most memorable songs, but I'm telling you, there were no bad songs on this album as well. "Crystal" was originally on Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks debut album "Buckingham Nicks". "Buckingham Nicks" is an album you guys need to look into as well, but it's never been released on cd or iTunes, but you can find it on KZfaq.

Thanks for the fun guys. This is my first time commenting (because Fleetwood Mac is my favorite band of all time). The major thing about this band is that while each member is extremely talented on their own (one of the female singers, Stevie Nicks, was inducted into the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame last year for her solo career) for some reason when these people get together they do something even more amazing than when they are separate. Here are two live concert clips you could/should watch and react to (along with a description why). Not That Funny [Live - 1982 Mirage] - You will not here this anywhere else than this video. They took the melody of one of their lesser known songs and put it on top of the instrumental track of another one of their lesser known songs to make a new version explosive song. In the middle of the song the drummer not only keeps time but does a 2 minute drum solo on top of keeping the time and just for good measure the drums, bass and guitar have a mini jam session during the song. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p8eDe5CFmLjVpHU.html Big Love [Live 1997 The Dance] - The guitarist finger picks very fast multiple melodic lines and bass while singing... just a man and his guitar in a legendary performance. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/o8CKo5pnspqyd5c.html Feel free to double check with your regulars and they should back me up. The only thing better than listening to Fleetwood Mac is seeing them perform live.

I'm a guitarist and I love how detailed and in depth your analysis are of the music videos you react to. You understand music much better than most other reaction channels whose people appear to have no musical kowledge and just react to the music strictly by what they just listened to and heard. While that's great, to me it's more important to be able to break down the song and analyze each musicians contribution to the song. Like how you guys pick out the bass, drums, and guitars seperately and analysis their sounds and their importance to the song. Keep it up. You guys, rock...

As a longtime FM fan, I know that there are certain songs that are staples in their concert setlists. They always start with The Chain and they often finish with Tusk. Usually Rhiannon & Gold Dust Woman & Landslide are included too. If you want to see them perform, I **HIGHLY RECOMMEND** you watch The Dance, their reunion concert from 1997. As guitarists, I think you would VERY MUCH appreciate Lindsey’s acoustic version of Big Love. His finger picking style is unique from his early days playing banjo. If I could recommend one song, that would be it. Welcome to FM fandom guys 👍

Telegraph Road by Dire Straits Close to the edge by Yes Achilles last stand by Led Zeppelin

I literally just replaced my old vinyl for new and after all these years I couldn't wait to open it up and put it on the record player, this album holds so many great memories for me. A true masterpiece! ...♡

Glad you were impressed with Lindsey's vocals on this track. In fact, you can find an isolated vocal of this track on the internet. The angst as he sings will knock you out. This song was Lindsey referencing his split with Stevie Nicks. He is singing directly to her. You can hear his heartbreak.

Albatross by Fleetwood Mac, y’all really need to listen to that song

At one time it was practically illegal not to own this album.

Thanks guys for posting a version to get around the KZfaq blocking! Great review. Oh hell, now got the album on through my headphones, Songbird has got me tearing up, fantastic music!

Andy & Alex you need to hear it live its twice as good

That was a 10 again! I really like Songbird off of this album. Christine McVie is the singer. It's a very slow song, but it's beautiful.

Lindsey wrote this because he and Stevie were breaking up - then they had to record it together. This whole album had two couples breaking up while making it. Also: Again I will say that Lindsey Buckingham is a very underrated guitarist.

Thank you, Andy & Alex, for letting us watch your reaction on Patreon. Love pretty much anything by Fleetwood Mac & it is so great watching you two discover them. Have a great weekend guys!

So glad you played my favorite Fleetwood Mac song! Thanks guys!

I think y’all should do “Tusk”. But you’re right, every track on Rumors is excellent! I think every home in America had this album.

"Landslide" is a ten, but it's mellow. Just Stevie(singer) and Buckingham on guitar.

Many thanks for putting this on Patreon. Love seeing you two jamming to the best tunes in history, it's good knowing a new generation is experiencing the past. Much love!

Thanks, guys, for the freebee on your Patreon! Rumors is perhaps one of the best albums released in the 70's - NOTHING compares to it. Every song is a work of art.

If/when you do Landslide, you really should do the live version from The Dance, their reunion concert. It's just Stevie and Lindsey on stage. One voice. One guitar. Perfection.

Owning a copy of Rumours was the LAW! Looking forward to you guys doing more of it. Gold Dust Woman and Never Going Back Again are my picks.

My fav, is "Dreams" followed by "You make loving fun", Bill Clinton's 1992 Campaign song was Don't Stop [thinking about tomorrow] and last but not least, if you want to see a top 5 ever Performance you have to watch Rhiannon on the Midnight Special, she was possessed {literally} and Lindsey was give those riffs hell. Rumors is not really a head banging Album, but it has a couple of songs with top 25 type riffs, but for the most part it is a mellow type break up Album, hence the name. {they were all cheating or breaking up with each other}

Watched the whole thing on Patreon. Great reaction, guys. You really pick up on a lot of the amazing nuances from Lindsey's exceptional production work. You didn't mention, but Chritine McVie's keyboards really fill out the sound beautiful. Remember, it's just four instrumentalists, drums, bass, keys, guitar, and three vocalists. And they get that amazingly lush sound. Go Your Own Way is Lindsey Buckingham's response to Stevie' Nicks' Dreams.

I knew Fleetwood Mac had a lot of layers in their songs. I didn't realize how many until I bought Martin Logan electrostatic speaker, along with a sub woofer in the way back. Sara is the song you want to listen to if you want to hear amazing layers, and things I never knew existed listening with really good, but not amazing speakers. You should be able to hear everything with nice headphones. Amazing sound engineering on that tract. Amazing musicians and a great groove.

Another Fleetwood Mac song for you is (Oh Well) Enjoy! 😎✌️

I can't begin to tell you how happy it makes me feel to see young people discover the music I listened to when I was young myself. Good music is always good, no matter the era of genre. Keep up the good work, guys. And thanks for letting me relive, through you, the first time I heard these songs back when my hair was thicker than my waist

Rumors is one of the strongest albums of all time. Not a wasted song on either side, and all fit into the whole of 2 couples within the same band breaking up in real time!

Gotta get back to the original "Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac" masterpieces, then go with the transition w/o Peter Green. 😉👍

Stevie Nicks had a great solo career. Check out, “Edge of Seventeen”.

I remember seeing a Lindsey Buckingham interview, where he says he heard a DJ playing this song on the radio for the first time (as it was new), and after the song played, the DJ was like "Meh." So Lindsey called the radio station and asked the guy what he didn't like about the song. The DJ's complaint was that initially the song seemed to struggle to figure out where it was going. For me, that's the genius of the piece. It makes me think of the maneuvering you have to do when you're trying to get onto the highway. First you putz around the parking lot, work your way onto the feeder road, and once you get past the on-ramp, you floor it!

There's so much attention to detail in this song, and so many layers tastefully woven together, that it's easy to miss things. I love the drumming during the verses, when Mick Fleetwood does this syncopated thing where he accents the backbeat/offbeat. It's phenomenal!

Listen to "Riannon" (probably misspelled). Very mystic!!!

A little side note on Rumours. There were two divorces going on during the making of it! Look it up! 😎✌️

it's so good because these lyrics was what was happening in their lives, amazing how one can story tell songs about their lives

Fleetwood Mac has always been my go-to group when I feel the need for music to move to. Love them!

Rhiannon from the previous album is another one to check out. For something different give a reaction to the title song from Tusk.

yo guys thanx for the free patreon vid of fleetwood mac always ways round a blockage {:-) PAV uk

I am just starting HS in the fall of 1976. Self titled had come out recently. Then Rumours is released. One single after another is being released. Each one better than the last....it was an amazing time for music,,..

FYI: You might be able to find clips on youtube of the dvd series called Classic Albums. They talk about the making of classic albums and for production nerds they sit at the mixing board and isolate the tracks so you can hear how things came together. It really shows how tight the players in Fleetwood Mac are.

Stevie Nicks, the only person to be inducted into the hall with FM and as an individual artist

You need to sit back and really listen to 🥀 Rhiannon 🥀 You also need to have filler reaction for times like these. You could just do random songs from early Beatles the stones the who or any band with a thic catalog. I'll even settle for reactions to bubble rock. 🤭

Oh Yeah....Fleetwood is such a class act...and such a huge part of moulding the art in the 70's. Great Vid...One thing I have been waiting for though. Now that we all know you two are musicians...You should really give us a few creations or covers every now and then ..I know I am not the only person who would LOVE to hear this. You and Phil from wings of Pegasus , are my hands down Favorite Music analysts on You Tube ..I would be a patron ten times over if you could showcase what you do...

You need to watch a live video of this song from the time it was released, if only to see Stevie and Lindsey staring daggers at each other throughout. Then watch the Live From Boston vid from 2003 to see Lindsey just shred at the end.

You've only heard 3 songs from this album so far, and liked them all? Well then, you must continue. I would recommend listening to, Gold Dust Woman.

I’d say definitely keep going with Rumors, but something that would be cool to put away for later with Landslide is “Big Love” by Lindsey Buckingham. His solo version is insanity. Since he is the Fleetwood Mac Guitarist, I’d say it’s around a good time to request this track. Would probably be great for a Drunk Reaction lol.

Just found you guys yesterday! Now I can't stop watching!!

Holy HELL, love you guys!

In my opinion, the album "Fleetwood Mac" (1975) has just as much vibe as "Rumours" - in some cases even more.

I love Fleetwood Mac. I wouldn't call many of their songs "bangers", though. The 2 you last listened to ("The Chain" and "Go Your Own Way") are about as high energy as Fleetwood Mac gets - at least in the Lindsey/Stevie era. "Landslide" is a very mellow ballad with lots of acoustic finger picking. I love it. It's beautiful. But don't go into it expecting to hear a "Banger". I'm sticking with my recommendation for the live version of "Rhiannon": "Rhiannon Fleetwood Mac Live 1976" from the TV show "Midnight Special".

I bought this album in '77, and 46 years later I hear this song on the radio just as often as I did back then. It might be my favorite song off the album. Almost a half century later it still does not sound old or dated to me. Lots of drama going on in the band when this album was made, so much so that I've read that none of them could be in the studio at the same time as the others. In fact, I've read that the various vocal tracks were recorded in studios in separate cities. This song is a good example of the soap opera that was Fleetwood Mac. The woman he's talking about in the song is singing the background vocal track for him, although as mentioned before, they were not in the same studio at the same time.

Wow, that takes me back!!! One of the peak moments of my young life was seeing Fleetwood Mac in the front row in 1977 when I was 14. And I met Stevie and Lindsey at the stage door. What a show! Every song, 10 out of 10. I knew I was seeing a band at their peak.

Give "Don't Stop" a listen. Very catchy tune.

Something tells me, Lindsey Buckingham himself had something to do with blocking this track, since he was the sole writer/composer. He's probably still pissed because he was fired. He's just that type of person...

What link and where to.pay the dollar? And is this.to watch the videos youtube takes down? Thank u much!

Fleet wood Mac is one of the best, I hope you react to more in the future

1st viewer , you guys rock!

You really need to go back and listen to the real Fleetwood Mac, the original with Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer and a little later Danny Kirwan. The band were originally called Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. It is massively superior to the California Rock that came later. True fans of the original band have a real problem with that iteration.

I love you guys, been binge watching for months. Fleetwood Mac, live. You must.

Christine McVie's "Songbird" on this album is a beautiful and heartfelt song, amazingly Eva Cassidy's cover is even better.

Saw them on their Rumours tour in Boulder, Colorado May 1, 1977. Along with the Mac, Bob Seger (Night Moves), Firefall at their height, John Sebastian (Welcome Back, Lovin' Spoonfull) and Country Joe McDonald and his Fish cheer. Most star studded concert I have ever seen. Beyond awesome!

Another great review, thanks guys! I heard that they put risers in the studio for the drummer (Mick Fleetwood) to give his drums a "live" sound. Another great song, from their previous album, is Rhiannon. There's also a fantastic extended live version on Fleetwood Mac Live. Cheers, and keep on rockin'!

I also told you guys about this. This one is my favorite from the Rumors album. Cool choice guys, and thanks for the free Patreon vid.

Saw FM in ATL on Halloween night, 70s, don't remember the venue but apparently it was used for ice hockey and they put down a temp floor over the ice then put all of us at floor level in metal folding chairs. Froze my ass off but music was great for keeping us on our feet throughout the show. It certainly prevented people from passing out from drugs so everyone got home safely. Thanks for jogging that memory loose!

I have bought Rumours three times. First as an album,then it was my first cd I ever bought,and thirdly when it was re-released as a special edition cd with original demo versions of the songs.

Fantastic album, its a must have and has been in my collection for so long

"Last Chance" SHOOTING STAR

Go your own way should be interesting love you guys it’s all about the music!

OK A &A, I hope you see this comment. In addition to their superb studio work, these people left their hearts on the floor during multiple performances. In fact, Stevie obviously hurt her voice in the process, because her vocal range was severely limited for years afterwards. To understand just how good they were (and why us old guys were smitten with Stevie back in the day. Sigh.) please watch a video of them doing "Rihannon" during rehearsal at The Old Grey Whistle, in the uk, 1976, even if you don't react to it, and remember, this was recorded during a REHEARSAL.

Thanks for sharing the Patreon - loved watching you two experience this track. Listen again to John McVie's bass. I love when a bass running all over the track. As for the drumming, if you've ever seen Animal drumming on The Muppet Show, that's modeled after Mick Fleetwood's style.

The Mac are huge blockers, I'm amazed that you got the first one in.

Lindsay’s guitar shred at the end always blows me away 🤩

I looked through my vinyl last week. This is there. Bought it my senior year of college 1976 I do believe.

One of my all time favorites! Drums send me over the edge every time!

I have been watching your Queen Reaction Videos recently and so happy to see young talented men like you two getting into the Queen's fans. I had the bless to be in a Queen 2 hours concert here in São Paulo Brazil in 1981. I was a college student like you are now and that show was nothing less than pure magic. Freddie and Brian learned few words in Portuguese (our language) they were so nice and they were already the super famous Queen band. Just picture 50 Thousand No English Speakers , until today, only 2% of population speaks English, singing along with Freddie as you can see in the video link kzfaq.info/get/bejne/meB2ebuEztSXXas.html this was 39 years ago and the sound and emotions I experience there are still with me. RIP beloved Freddie. Tons of love to Brian, Roger and John, always. Andy & Alex send you two my welcome to Queen's fan club, you two are special ! (Just edited to correct few English errors)

I feel the love! Hi Andy and Alex. Yeah this was my introduction to the band back in the day. I remember noticing the harmonies and the very very strong chrorus, apart from the piercing guitars. I totally understand FM is under your scope right now. When there is room for more new discoveries after that, may I suggest Santana's I'll Be Waiting? I know you will find something in it for you. Carry on with your enthousiasm guys! Whiskey at hand, cheers!

Mick Fleetwood on drums, Gold Dust Woman is sublime. Rumours won a Grammy for album of the year back in.... the day

Made my day, guys! My favorite song by one of my Top 5 favorite bands! 🥰

You guys need to watch some of Fleetwood Mac's performances from the 70s. Seeing Mick's face while he's drumming is priceless.

Hi guys, thanks for making that available to everybody, I appreciate it. And loved it. Suggestion for future reference (I hope) when you've gone through a bunch of Fleetwoold Mac, I'd love for you to check out a song by Stevie Nicks when she went solo, called "Edge of Seventeen'. You will both freak out, guaranteed!! Put it this way, I've listened to the song hundreds of times, and it still freaks me out, every time.
