Contemporaries circa 1975-82
Curious as to what folks here would think of as FM's peers and close cousins musically from the Buckingham-Nicks period (aside from the obvious being things they contributed to by Bob Welch, Walter Egan and John Stewart etc.).
I guess The Eagles is a pretty obvious comparison lacking only female vocals (and I prefer John McVie bass to almost anything). I'm not sure I see much in common with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers outside of the Stevie Nicks collaboration. Maybe a bit with some of Tusk. Speaking of which could Joe Jackson or Elvis Costello have been an influence on Tusk the album? I loved Joe Jackson at the time and hated Tusk probably because as a double LP it cost more, had an annoying looking cover, and sounded so different from what I expected. Other possibly analogous albums I was buying around the Rumours time period were by Kansas, Chilliwack, Bob Seger, Styx, ELO, Wings, Journey, REO Speedwagon (just Hi-Infedility) and The Police. Other possible peers might be Ambrosia, Foreigner, Hall & Oates, Chicago?

Heart always comes to mind, because not all that many bands had two female leads, but FM did and so did Heart.

ABBA..megaplatinum selling band with 2 splitting couples and toward the end generated some killer divorce pop..The Winner Takes It All rivals anything on Rumours for this type of song and Agnetha Faltskog's chilling ,committed vocal performance is one for the ages.
