Rumours should be higher but given some of the garbage on this list, I am grateful they had the good sense to have it in the Top Ten! I think Tusk, White Album and Bella Donna should be on here too!

So, without going through the whole list, is Rumours the only Mac album in the 500? If so, thats shocking given the number of multiple albums in there from their contemporaries. Is this a sign of Fleetwood Mac's waning influence and, dare I say it, legacy?

This new list reflects the waning of the legacy of a certain music; in the last two decades black music have substituted rock. The previous lists were male,white and rock dominated, in fact 4 of the first 10 positions were taken just by the Beatles, only one was taken from a black artist and none of the acts featured women, while on this new list 4 of the top 10 music acts are black and 3 feature women, Rumours included. In this perspective the lack of earlier FM material doesn't mean that the albums of the pre-Rumours era aren't artistically valid anymore but that they're not seen as relevant and influential on today's music. |

I find it annoying that Fleetwood Mac are increasingly only appreciated for Rumours. That's always largely been the case and perpetuated largely by Mick. But in recent years I'd been led to believe FM were a hugely influential band to many young artists. I thought that would mean a wider appreciation of their music beyond the obvious Rumours. After all, Matty Healy was only recently raving about how Tango In The Night was a huge influence on The 1975. If Big Star have 3 albums cited, then I'd have expected a few more from FM.
Beatles: 9 Dylan: 8 Neil Young: 7 Rolling Stones, Kanye: 6 Led Zep, Springsteen, Bowie: 5 Radiohead, Aretha, The Who, Pink Floyd, Prince, Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder, Velvet Underground, Sly & The Family Stone: 4 Beach Boys, Tom Petty, Nirvana, Pavement, Hendrix, Al Green + various others: 3 Fleetwood Mac: 1 Pavement...3!!!!

Rumours is number 42 on the US billboard charts this week 43 years later. Of course this should be climbing. How it is behind Nirvana is a mystery. Surprised Tusk is not on this list.

Read the comments below the list. Everybody is pissy that such-and-such was left off, or placed below so-and-so. That's why they run these lists, to pique. Pique is a response, and they want a response. If you're responding, you're looking at the article in print or online and therefore also glancing at the ads.
I don't care anymore about placement. I just like reading these lists for the writeups on albums of note. I'm a sucker for opinions expressed well. But I'm looking over this list now, reading a lot of the commentary, and not finding a lot to get excited about. Rolling Stone used to Rolling Stone a lot better in the old days. I hate to sound like grandpa shaking his fist at the kids on his lawn, but there is a lot of minimally tolerable crud on the list in the top 100 or so. Still, you can find great recommendations if you keep looking: at no. 448, Otis Redding's "Dictionary of Soul" for example. What an album!

But when I think of crickets, I think not of silence but of the moments just before they took the stage. When the warm-up music stopped and you heard the chirping. My heart would flutter. Behold, I traded my mourning veil for a Covid mask, but the sorrow lingers.
