My fav moment of that song, hahaha.

My mum liked that part but was kind of 'what the f-' when I said it was a Fleetwood Mac song.

On an unrelated note someone got me a sweet Fleetwood Mac tour poster from the 70s when they came to the Tacoma Dome; it features characters akin to Lindsey and Stevie on a horse looking regal with hills and skinny trees in the background.

Sorry for bringing up an old thread, but I missed out on this the first time around.

Age Range: 19 so whatever that category falls under.

Gender: female

When you became a fan: late 2006

How you became a fan: I knew about Fleetwood Mac for years, but when I was 13 or so, I listened to my mom's Rumours cd and liked it. However, I didn't become a huge fan until the spring of 2007.

First 3 FM songs: The first ones I heard? Second Hand News, Dreams, Never Going Back Again. Well, it was probably more like Don't Stop and Go Your Own Way on the radio.

First FM vocalist: Stevie first caught my eye, both vocally and physically. Lindsey's hair freaked me out and I thought he wasn't wearing pants on the Rumours liner notes.

Favorite FM Time Period: 1975 through 1987.

Vocalist breakdown by percentage: That's difficult, but I like Stevie and Lindsey almost equally. Christine is awesome, but I find some of her songs quite boring (Mystified, anyone?).

Concerts you've attended: One Unleashed concert. I was nonexistent during the glory years and nobody stops in my province.

FM stuff you own: Nearly every FM album, including Fleetwood Mac in Chicago on vinyl, which I haven't listened to yet. Something Big, Buckingham Nicks re-issue on vinyl, all of Stevie's albums from 1981 through 1989, then 2007-2011, all of Lindsey's solo albums, and In the Meantime. I also have a ton of demos, live shows, and things on DVD ("real" DVDs include The Dance, Live in Boston, Destiny Rules, Classic Albums: Rumours, Crystal Visions, Live at the Bass Performance Hall).

I have (if I counted correctly) five FM shirts and a hoodie, two FM posters and a Stevie poster, signed Gift of Screws, Rumours songbook, another songbook, some clippings and photos, Mick's two books, a Gift of Screws mug. I'm probably forgetting something.

Favorite thing about FM: The music?

Least favorite thing about FM: The lack of music videos and concerts on dvd.

Are you the same fan your where when you started: I suppose, but I don't rabidly collect live shows or demos anymore.

Your all time "dream" lineup that won't ever happen: Rumours lineup

You wish for the future of the Mac: More dvd releases and for all past and present band members to be happy, healthy, and to release more music if they're up for it.

[JesusRumours]

Age Range: I'm 18

Gender: Male

When you became a fan: In 2009

How you became a fan: My dad showed me the Tango In The Night concert, and when I heard The Chain I fell in love, then I started to dig and dig more about the band, until I became obsessed.

First 3 FM songs: The Chain, Dreams & Little Lies

First FM vocalist: Stevie Nicks

Favorite FM Time Period: I love everythin! From the Peter Green's Blues to now! But I would say that 75' through Tusk is my favorite era.

Vocalist breakdown by percentage: Stevie 40%. Christine 30%. Lindsey 30%

Concerts you've attended: None

FM stuff you own: Just Albums

Favorite thing about FM: The diversity of their music!

Least favorite thing about FM: That they take a lot of years to make a new album.

Are you the same fan your where when you started: No, I was the kind who liked a couple of songs, now, I am obsessed!

Your all time "dream" lineup that won't ever happen: The Rumours lineup

You wish for the future of the Mac: Their last album with a farewell tour with Christine Mcvie

[MarkMc1990]

Age Range: 20

Gender: male

When you became a fan: 2002

How you became a fan: Heard Landslide on the radio while getting my haircut. Was lucky that my dad actually had The Dance CD and become a fan from there.

First 3 FM songs: The first 3 I ever heard? hmmm. I'm going to guess Landslide, Little Lies, and Say You Love Me.

First FM vocalist: Stevie

Favorite FM Time Period: '75 through Tusk

Vocalist breakdown by percentage: Have no clue how to do this one. Stevie > Christine > Lindsey, but I like all 3.

Concerts you've attended: Chicago 2005: Stevie Nicks & Don Henley

FM stuff you own: CDs and a ticket stub

Favorite thing about FM: The music

Least favorite thing about FM: Nothing!

Are you the same fan your where when you started: Not quite.

and....bump....

Age Range: 30-ish

Gender: lady

When you became a fan: 1993

How you became a fan: Had always heard the Mac (parents were fans), but struck out on my own and bought Bella Donna on CD - first CD I ever bought.

First 3 FM songs: Gypsy, Landslide, and Sara

First FM vocalist: Stevie

Favorite FM Time Period: The Dance. They were everywhere and they looked good. People were excited about them. Nice.

Vocalist breakdown by percentage:
Stevie - 80%
Lindsey - 19%
Chris and everyone else - 1%
Not gonna lie.

Concerts you've attended: Dozens between 2003-2007, Unleashed not so much

FM stuff you own: All CDs and vinyl, lots of odds and ends, framed Hatch Show print from Buck's 2006 show at the Ryman, framed Rhiannon watercolor Stevie did with the lyrics on the side.

Favorite thing about FM: getting lost in the music

Least favorite thing about FM: Money-grabbing crap "Unleashed" tour

Are you the same fan your where when you started: It's ebbed and flowed a little over the years. 2003-4 there were so many sites up with demos and boots and people were keen on trading. Then after Stevie's 2005 fabulousness it was Eh for a while. Then Buck finally came out with an album and that was super cool. Then not so much. I don't think the community will ever rally like we did during SYW, and I'm glad I was a part of it.

Your all time "dream" lineup that won't ever happen: Buckingham/Nicks.

You wish for the future of the Mac: They keep doing cool stuff even after they're wheelchair-bound.

How you became a fan: I was watching National Lampoon's Vacation during a difficult time in my life and heard "Holiday Road" and "Dancin' Across the USA", which were songs I'd heard growing up and got curious about the singer.
