Paste 100 Best Songwriters (FM #83)
[This is from June 14, 2006, but I didn't see it posted before]
http://www.pastemagazine.com/article...ters-8190.html Paste's 100 Best Living Songwriters #81-90 83>>FLEETWOOD MAC (Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie) “I’ll follow you down till the sound of my voice will haunt you” Amidst the tumult of two heart-wrenching breakups, Fleetwood Mac’s three capable songwriters penned the aptly named 1976 release Rumours. In exposing their pain to the world, the two sets of ex-lovers (Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, Christine and John McVie) also managed to produce an album so authentically sorrowful, angry and hurt—yet naively hopeful—that it became the second-best-selling album of all time. Nicks’ soft chords and sharp lyrical sense could put a man in his place with one carefully crafted line (“Players only love you when they’re playing”) in contrast with Buckingham’s more blunt approach (“You can go your own way”). McVie was a bit more optimistic, with stay-strong songs like “Don’t Stop.” The result was an album that ran the gamut of emotional turmoil, and ensured the feuding pairs plenty more years more to lash out at each other with one chart-topper after another.
