![]() Rumours (1977) [ larger cover art ] |
She broke down and let me in
Made me see where I've been
Been down one time
Been down two times
I'm never going back again
You don't know what it means to win
Come down and see me again
Been down one time
Been down two times
I'm never going back again

The Rumours songs were the first songs actually written and recorded as full band collaborations. The musical geek in my loves stuff like that. i have one of those in me too. good tidbit. |

I am a negative person, and I love the three Fleetwood Mac 70s albums with Buckingham and Nicks. The down-tempo songs are a bit too radio-friendly for my taste, especially the Christine McVie ones. But that's a minor issue. |
| ziakut (Right Here) | Posted: Sep 08, 2012 - 11:15 Thank you for not playing the tired, overplayed tunes off this album. Actually it isn't bad, there's a lot more worse stuff out there...just FM continues to consistently do NOTHING for me. |

Everybody in my hotel room, anyway. If you were unclear before now as to how she ruined the band, my explanation will most certainly fall on deaf ears: "Listen to their old rock and blues based stuff. It's so much better than their later pop pablum." For the record, Christine McVie was one of the pillars of this band, and has a never-expiring proposal of marriage from me — if her people would ever withdraw that ridiculous restraining order. (Just kidding ... ) |

| Dave_Mack (Ball of Confusion) | Posted: Aug 17, 2011 - 14:02 Always loved the guitar work on this tune. I think it's about an 8.5 for me. I'd give it a 9, but it's kind of a lightweight song, with nifty playing. |

And I believe "Crystal" was re-recorded when they joined up with FM. |

| KurtfromLaQuinta (Yep. I'm still here in La Quinta.) | Posted: Dec 08, 2010 - 15:06 Lindsey makes this song. I wish there was an extended remix of this one. It's only fault... too short. "I Know I'm Not Wrong" off of Tusk is another classic by him. It's too bad it never seems to get played anywhere. |

| flatpicker (Toronto, Canada) | Posted: Nov 23, 2009 - 09:33 Great song. Never really paid close attention to Fleetwood Mac until recently. My girlfriend is crazy about them and their solo projects, and will travel great distance to see them live. I got to see them play in Toronto recently... very good show. |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Nov 23, 2009 - 09:32 Magnificent song from a great album... |
| bindi (North Carolina) | Posted: Oct 31, 2009 - 13:14 I was part of a "between bands" entertainment group (skateboarding) in Buffalo the year this album came out , maybe the year after. . . We were on for 10 minutes just before this band came on. We finished the show, then packed up our ramp and scaled up the scaffolds and hid behind the loudspeakers about 10 ft above the stage.. Great vantage point view- wise. . . not so great for sound. I had certainly heard of them, but after seeing them, we all wondered why they weren't the Lyndsey Buckingham band - man, that guy was amazing! . . . just amazing. |
