Notes
The reviewers tell us what to buy, but the public actually part with the cash. Surely 26 million people cannot be wrong, as original Mac guitarist Peter Green's creation became the prime example of AOR long after his departure. The inner strife and turmoil of the band is credited as having helped to make this many-headed beast into such a success. Keyboardist Christine McVie sparred with husband/bassist John, and singer Stevie Nicks scrapped with boyfriend/guitarist Lindsay Buckingham. Drummer Mick Fleetwood held the emotional mess together with confident steadiness as demonstrated in his confident, inventive playing throughout the record. Nicks' fiery vocals on "Go Your Own Way" complemented McVie's beautifully understated style on tunes like "You Make Loving Fun," exemplifying their successful fire-ice dichotomy. Rolling Stone (10/31/02, p.135) - Ranked #4 in Rolling Stone's "Women In Rock: The 50 Essential Albums" Vibe (12/99, p.162) - Included in Vibe's 100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century - "Anger, jealousy, heartbreak, and spite....One of the best pop records of the '70s." Q Magazine (1/03, p.69) - Included in Q Magazine's "100 Greatest Albums Ever" Q Magazine (3/00, p.126) - Included in Q Magazine's "Best Relationship Albums Of All Time" - "...tells the soap opera of 2 splits: John and Christine McVie, and Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks...all of whom played lyrical relationship tennis..."
