Fleetwood Mac are one of my FAVOURITE bands. I was brought up with their music being played in my home as a young child. Let me explain why they are so good using the the album Rumours. Please tell me what you think though in the comments! Maybe they’re not for everyone?

I was offended by that Reynolds Girls song as a child too. I grew up on The Mac and they're still one of my favourite bands.
Bare Trees is their best album.
Brought on by emotional pain.
God works in mysterious ways.
Now, on that note;
Be careful what you wish for.
They all come true….. eventually!
Never heard of you before, or the Reynolds until today. May 13th 2022.
Great show my friend
Thank you 🙏
Random one, but I fucking love your glasses. Any chance you'd tell me the make and name? Ps I fucking love this channel and your music dude!!!!
Your channel intro really sounds like Sparks to me. Do you care/love Sparksss?
Hey Justin, Have you ever heard Budgie? I think you will like them Give them a listen
Whenever I hear "Dreams" it takes me back to when I was a little kid in the 70's and its a powerful fond nostalgic emotional memory. Stevie's haunting vocals and Micks solid drumming and the whole Fleetwood sound, they can do no wrong.
“Don’t stop finkin’ about tomorrow”. 😆
It’s impossible to separate the personal relationship aspect from Rumors. Two couples within the band were breaking up, one of those half-couples was sleeping with the drummer… and they were writing songs about it and playing on them collectively, as it was all happening! Those things are inextricable from the music because it’s what inspired the music to begin with and we’ve all heard and read about it for decades now.
I would love to hear your thoughts on Peter Green. A legend.
All those tracks are hits. Love Buckingham's guitar style.
The chain is the best!
That's a good question never cared for them
Is there anything u don't like?
The Peter Green incarnation of Fleetwood Mac was great… the rest of it with Nicks and Buckingham was not so great. In my opinion, that is.
I have no clue who the Reynolds Girls are but your bit on them has me rolling…I had Rumors on cassette and played it on one of those big old recorders and I carried it around playing Fleetwood Mac at 12 years old…love your vids ✌🏻
I was lucky enough to know Judy Wong, long time secretary for Fleetwood Mac and got to go to a party with just me Judy and the band it was great and there all really nice people I especially got on well with John. cool guys. RIP.
Everyday was tomorow once
Would love to see your opinion on Johnny Marr.
Tribute band at 8.40 !!!
Good melodic well produced timeless music. Made great NEW MUSIC in four decades.
I like the Buckingham -Nicks iteration, but am a Peter Green freak. Born in 72, I have been in love with Dad-Rock my whole life. I'm not adverse to contemporary music ( Nick Cave and Jason Isbell are two of my favorite writers, singers, and musicians) but In the era of Poison and even Guns and Roses, I preferred Traffic and The Band.
Stock Aikin and Waterman or WETF their names are, should be tried for war crimes! Their rancid recordings are technically sound weapons.
My favorite part j Hawkins podcast is when he figures out what the song is doing on his fret board onda fly…right Infront of everyone. His talent is genius. I eat my heart out.
Answer: Stevie has one of the greatest female voices ever. Not to mention Green and Buckingham. But one of the greatest Live performances of all time on tv? I give you:

I don’t listen to THIS Fleetwood Mac, I listen to Peter Green’s. Odd for a frontman guitarist not to even mention one of the greatest frontman guitarists who founded the band and is far more interesting than this US Rock-oriented version of it.
Love FM for Peter Green and Danny Kirwan
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are greatest rock band ever
Yes, the audacity of those two talentless upstarts, or, Mr Waterman couldn't make a buck out of Fleetwood Mac.
The clip at 8:38 is from a Fleetwood Mac tribute act that I've totally forgotten the name of – but they do sound like the real deal. Love the videos, just found the channel tonight.
Greatest rock band based on a rhythm section ever.
I have tried to find a way in to Fleetwood's discography and failed, and I thought this video would help me understand how to better approach their music. Instead it only confirmed that there's nothing about them that resonates with me. At all. I do however listen to lots of other dad rock bands 👍
I grew up with them as well just wasn’t able to appreciate them till later in life.
"In 2013, ITV started a search for the (Reynolds) sisters, so they could appear in a commemorative documentary about Stock, Aitken and Waterman. As of 2022, their whereabouts remain unknown." On a related note, Stevie Nicks is currently doing a very successful solo tour.
They were great rock band in the 70s but by mid 80s became this your parents middle aged music, kind of lame. I think they became too big and lost in commercializing of their sound. And originally people loved them so much because it was very traditional core folk sound only modernized to contemporary 70s rock. And kids today do know about them mostly through tell me lies meme.
Cool 😎
Fleetwood Mc is eternally like the first bird u ever fell in love with … special ,pure … everyones first favroute
LOVE Fleetwood Mac! Rumours is their absolute best.
Been wondering the same question about Fleetwood Mac. Fleetwood Mac sucks. That’s my answer to any related question. So much so that I cannot even hint at liking 10 seconds of any song. Carry on.
I used to absolutely hate that theme song you always play, now I always sing it to my self throughout the day 😂
Is it dead rock or dad rock? 🤔🤔😁😁
I found my mum and dads cassette in a box in 1986' with rumours on one side and ELO's 'new world record' on the other.They had dubbed it with side B first which meant It started with 'The Chain' gave the album a different buzz. Regardless I was really blown away, all killer no filler.
I fell in love with them when their album Then Play On came out; the songs Oh Well, Closing My Eyes and Before The Beginning were my favorites. Buckingham Nicks joining Fleetwood Mac brought me to their "white album" Fleetwood Mac. What a magical time it was for me back then.
I’ve been listening to Rumours for decades and I have to say, I really didn’t mind Silver Springs getting snuck in on those later reissues. Anyhoo, can I just say CHRISTINE MCVIE. Talk about a voice that wraps around you like a warm loving maternal blanket and tells you everything’s going to be alright while it gently rocks you with a bit of a bluesy shuffle. Keep your Stevie Nicks. ✋
I think I know more about the relationships in Fleetwood Mac at this time than my own. 2 couples breaking up and singing about those break ups is brutal enough, but then the most bea hundred documentaries where they've each gone onto great detail about why they wrote their own songs and what they thought of everybody else's.
Christine McVie was a master pianist but also a fantastically complex songwriter, beautiful singer, and with Stevie Nicks and Lyndsey Buckingham the greatest harmonies in the history of music
Justin, here’s one for the next comments day. I’m interested in the process of making these videos; do you record several in a day (with costume changes of course) and are they edited by an associate or do you do them when you feel like it or have something to say? Either way, I love them, I love the Darkness, you’re great. Keep it up!
Murray: Mind you, they did make some of their best music back then.
Bret: Rumours?
Murray: No…It's all true.
I'd you ever are fortunate enough to have a meal at Fleetwoods in Maui, jump on it. Owned by Mick Fleetwood, it's of the best restaurants I've ever been to.
Hah! Love Justin's scathing dismissal of the Reynolds Girls. Stock Aitken & Waterman have a lot to answer for, when it comes to shite 80s music.
Though Pete Waterman was probably the Fred Durst of the 80s. He's openly admitted that they simply churned out throwaway pop that would get to #1 for a week then vanish from the charts. They just catered to the lowest common denominator…and got filthy rich in the process.
Says it all really: the Reynolds Girls – famous for a couple of weeks. Fleetwood Mac – famous for several decades…
