After a decade of shuffles, Buckingham and Nicks completed what is now remembered as the classic Fleetwood Mac line-up, and their 1975 self-titled record – technically, the band’s tenth studio album – propelled them to superstardom.
Another banger of a meta break-up song (something of a key Fleetwood Mac theme) Buckingham wrote Go Your Own Way in a lonely hotel room following the release of 1975’s self-titled album.
It goes without saying, Fleetwood Mac have a hell of a lot of hits; far too many to squeeze into a top ten ranking, and the reason why we’ve reluctantly had to omit honourable mentions such as Seven Wonders, Gypsy, Never Going Back Again, Albatross, and Tusk’s brilliantly bonkers title-track.
Though she was never exclusive with Fleetwood, Nicks was still devastated when she discovered he was also dating her friend Sara Recor, whom he later married.
Despite finding a home on Fleetwood’s best-known and most pain-addled album, Rumours, the late Christine McVie conjures up a potent sense of hope in Don’t Stop, an upbeat, chugging pop song exploring her break-up with her bandmate and ex-husband John McVie.
