Your first Fleetwood Mac album
 

The first FMac album I had was Tango in the Night,bought for me in mid 1987.(I was almost 13) I still have that cassette and I think I played it to death. I've been through 3 cassettes of it and now have a CD. Anyway, I just wondered what album everyone else had first.

Rumours in 1993. I heard Gold Dust Woman and The Chain on one of those classic rock stations Two For Tuesdays one day in the car with my Mom, and I went nuts. We went straight home, and Mom dug out Rumours from my Dad's giant CD collection. I wore holes through it, and am now on my third Rumours CD. :D

I really don't remember, but I guess it was Mirage. I loved the two videos and I was always a big fan of "Love in Store" and was pissed when it didn't chart higher.
I have very clear recollection of early FM in my life, though, hearing "Dreams" multiple times during the eternal family vacation car trips between New York and Florida.

After hearing the radio hits umpteen times I bought Rumours and these were the two songs I heard for the first time after that purchase that totally blew me away. Gold Dust Woman is probably my most favorite FM song ever!!

Bare Trees...yes, before Stevie and Lindsay...(I am old) LOL

Me, too...although, I'm most likely even older. :nod:

The first Fleetwood Mac album I got pretty much when it came out (within a month or so of its release) was Then Play On...had to backtrack to get Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac & English Rose (and it took me a bit longer to track down the two UK albums, Mr Wonderful & Pious Bird Of Good Omen)....from then on, I just got 'em as they came out.

I bought Tango In The Night as I loved Big Love. My brother gave me a badly recorded cassette of Rumours and Fleetwood Mac.

Over the next year, I bought Mirage and Tusk and then to the solo recording Bella Donna. I bought Lindsey's Law and Order in a second hand record shop.

It was a long while after that I bought the Live album and completed ALL of the solo stuff.

Due to my love of categorisation I'm going to put my first studio album here, not the Greatest Hits that I started with. I got Tango In The Night first, then Rumours, then Fleetwood Mac, then Mirage, then Tusk, then Say You Will and have just been filling in the gaps since then...

My first Mac album, that I heard first, was Fleetwood Mac Greatest Hits from 1988, my dad baught it in the fall of 2007 and that got me into The Mac and Stevie...but we already had Rumours and Tusk Lp's but I didn't know that until I discovered them :) So Fleetwood Mac Greatest Hits, the first albm I heard :)

My first was Tango In The Night which I bought because I loved the song Everywhere, which was a big hit at the time. I must have been about 12 years old. I had heard Rumours because my aunt owned it but I didn't connect the two until later, I didn't realise the hippie sounds of Rumours and the modern smooth synths of Tango were the same band. Funnily enough all these years on Rumours still sounds pretty fresh these days and Tango sounds kinda dated.

The Dance in 1997 was the first time I heard FM.
I was only seven years old at the time, so obviously I didn't buy it.
But my parents had it playing in their cars for the longest time and I just remember loving it.
Then came the DVD later on and I was able to connect the voice of "Landslide" to that "pretty blonde lady."

Besides that, the first album I actually BOUGHT was Rumours.

My first cassette of Fleetwood Mac was Greatest Hits (1988). But it was a copy, not originall. On that cassette was a first half of Timespace too. I really don´t know when I heard it for the first time... but definitely in 90s :D. Probably in the second half.

My first originall was CD of Mirage.

But I have to say that the album Greatest Hits from 1988 is most common album of Fleetwood Mac here in the Czech Republic. It was huge success in Britain and Europe generally, so after revolution in 1989 it was expanded in Czech rep. a little bit too.

Yeah, and I forgot Rumours. My daddy had a copy of this on cassette too, just next to the Greatest Hits/Timespace cassette :D.

Got The Dance on CD in Oct or Nov '97. We listened to it all the way from TN to MS (an 8 hr drive) for Thanksgiving that year.

Rumours. 2006. I'll never forget listening to this beautiful music, while reading the liner notes detailing all the break-ups (trying to put faces to the names of the songwriters). "Don't Stop" came on and I thought: "Bill Clinton ruins everything. . ." and then "Go Your Own Way" came on and I lost my mind: it felt like love at first sight or like when you finally meet someone who you've seen in dreams before. I was hooked from that moment. The next day, I went to the store and picked up Tusk. The next day, I got the White Album. . . and then I just dove in.

When I was 16, (that would be 10 years ago) me and my friend were going through her dad's old records and tapes, and we found Behind The Mask. I borrowed it, and gave it a listen at home. It's not the greatest album of all time, but I was intrigued. After that I came across the TITN video, and watched it several times in two days. It was not the greatest live performance, but I was intrigued more. :) Then finally while I was going through CDs in a music store, I saw The best Of from 1988. I decided to gie it a shot, and played it right there on headphones. Since the first second I heard Rhiannon I was hooked. I bought the CD instantly, and drove the rest of my family completely crazy over the next month playing Rhiannon all the time. then a local TV station aired The Dance DVD as a part of a Christmas program. That was the moment I officially became a lifetime fan. The interesting thing was at first I though the original FM lineup was with Billy and Rick. :) Both BTM, and TITN video were without Lindsey, so...
