Any fleetwood mac fans?

Back to Music

I listen to them everyday (Litterly) I love Stevie a lot and her music, But I listen to all their solo albums, Anybody else an avid listener?

My favorite fleetwood mac song is say you will, Always feeling that one with me and my BF

I'm not a rabid 'fan' per se, but at the very least an admirer of not a fellow traveler. I dig the Peter Green era, and as such, would likely cite "Oh Well" as my fav 🥰 

I never much listened to the Peter green era because its a totally diffent sound from Post L/S fleetwood mac, I enjoy later Stevie (Appearntly a hot take in her fan base, I'm sorry but trouble in shangri-la is great) , But not fleetwood mac, Say you will may be my favorite album but behind the mask and time really are lacking passion that other L/S albums have, Behind the mask is still a good album though I just don't listen to it much, I might return to it today and give it another go round. I never much liked the peter green era mainly because it has more a 60s rock sound when I perfer 70s and 80s. Really need to return to a lot of albums from fleetwood mac, I have really been neglecting tusk despite it being great, its a good aftermath album you really do feel like the choas has ended and everyone is either bitter or sad its a great listen. Though if I had to descibe each of their solo careers, Stevie is emotional but choatic in any album, even her most produced songs have her intenseity and passion, Lindsey really does bring a cool but intense anger to a lot of his music, i'd say it is very refined for what it is in terms of sound, he is very much a master of his domain not a lot of people know that Stevie commonly needs help to make an album lmao, Chirstine is great as always, I feel her later work really had more life and zest to it, She really did match their passion and the end there, its just she perfered to say in the backgriound,

Mind you fleetwood mac is never the same without all 3 together playing as one, I just find any album without them lacking something, They really pull together everything 

There is a finial fleetwood mac album, its just Stevie wouldn't allow them to take the name, I find it okay,

Again its a good album, But just lacking something, Every album without the 3 of them have this problem, I don't know why

See? That's probably why I like the Peter Green era. I like that "late 60s transitioning into early 70s" prog rock shit 😆 

I do think Tusk is an underrated album! 

Memory unlocked: I saw Fleetwood Mac live many years ago (yay!), unfortunately it was during that time period when Bekka Bramling was the singer (boo!) lol, I'm being too harsh. The show was fine. She was fine. 😆

Tusk is a great album, But I commonly listen to music based off my emotions, And I'm not feeling that sort of melody at this time, I need intensity and Stevie brings that to the table really, Its just hard to really involk that kind of saddness in me due to the fact that my emotions are always at some extreme like a lot of fleetwood mac albums, But I listen to it when I feel like everything I could have done is done, Or a chapter of my life had ended (But I may not know it at the time)

@Street Angel

For those reasons, my music tastes are all over the place (if but not so current), but not even speaking of the various genres before recorded music, the long centuries of brilliance, I find myself all over the map with recorded music ... Mostly from the 1920s through the 1970s, with a good'y dose of pre-1920, and more than a bit of dabbling in the 1980s, 90s, and 2000s.

And there's something in me that if I don't dig on a particular form of music, I'll listen to it twice as much for a time until I figure out what I'm missing a out it! 😅

Its pretty awesome you enjoy music of all eras, My dad listened to a lot of classical, it was the background music of our car rides and was always playing at his house, I just think its because your a little bit older then me 24 and 54 would naturally have a gap in music taste, Its the same with me and my BF, We have a 16 year age gap and a lot of his stuff is 2000s and 90s, So i'm not surprised, I enjoy a lot of what my mom played on the radio, it wasn't always fleetwood mac but it was a lot of her childhood hits, I never much had names for the songs I listened to at my dads house, But it was always a interesting vibe, as not many people listen to classical! Idk when it comes to older people esp age age gap dating you do just have to understand their are differences in say someone my age, I think it turns a lot of people off when they think about someone just simply having nostalgia for a diffent era, But I always liked talking to older people for this reason, I don't much care, But young people talking to older people always feel alienated, I don't, So I find your music taste pretty awesome, even I don't much listen to it, 

@Street Angel

Well thank you. And honestly, talking to the kids always inspires me to check in and listen to what's current. It has ALWAYS bothered me when old people wax nostalgic about how their music was 'the best' and these kids today have crap tastes. BULLSHIT. Just listen more! There's great music from every genre and ever age!

As for classical, I have a degree in music education with a concentration on classical guitar 😊 

More specifically, I don't love the 'classical' period (roughly 1750-1825-ish), but tend to love the baroque period before it and the romantic period after it better. 

My poetic influces aren't poets they are musicans, So they always have a lyric like tone to them depsite being a poem and unable to be sung cleanly in a song, But its always great to know more musical people, They always seem to find their way into my life, A close friend of mine is an professional audio enginner, Its so fasnating to see him work on a song and mix it,

But like I said i'm a very emotional person so lyrics are my favorite part of a song! Words are very powerful things, though I know for you as a musican saying that would be a disservice to your degree! And music ingentral

@Street Angel

Disservice? Not at all! I've always been a lyrics girl! Sure, I can analyze a Bach fugue and all, but the droning slack string jangle of John Lee Hooker's guitar playing is BLISS for the right groove behind his delivery of his lyrics rife with pathos!
