this is odd. BUT, am i the only one who thinks "Pumped up Kicks" could be a Fleetwood Mac song (specifically from Mirage era)? disregard the lyrics... the bass line sounds VERY John to me, as well as the harmonies, the chugging guitar, am i totally off-base? listen to it again before you reply....!

I don't think it sounds anything like Fleetwood Mac, but it's a great song! The lead vocalist has a very annoying quality to his vocal when singing live, but I like it anyway.

I thought the exact same thing when I first heard the song.. There is something very Macish, (or John McVieish anyway) about that bassline.

I thought it was very Fleetwood Mac-y as well. There's something about it. Maybe the chorus or the MOOD about it. That whole album is pretty great by the way. Houdini is my favourite song they've done.

I knew there was a reason I liked that song. I agree that the bass line is very John McVie and it does have a Hold Me vibe to the chorus. (I think Hold Me is Christine McVie's shining moment).

I have to agree with you on this. I heard this the other day and had to buy it on iTunes. I couldn't figure out who it reminded me of but you're totally right, it's so Mac Mirage era. Very cool.

It would be so cool to hear Christine singing lead on this with some Lindsey/Stevie background and interplay, the second verse being Stevie's....wow.

This song reminded me a lot of Tusk Lindsey the first time I heard it...

I don't hear Fleetwood Mac at all in PUK . There is something vaguely Motown-y about it; maybe it's all of the reverb.
Okay, on the subject of songs that capture the Fleetwood Mac sound (Rumours album-era, specifically), I think Richard X. Heyman's "Falling Away" is a prime example. I've been a fan of his forever... he is one of those underground power pop geniuses (still working today) who just never made it to the mainstream. It's long out of print, but his 1991 album Hey Man! is an unheard classic. IMHO, this has Rumours written all over it: |

I saw them playing on some talk show, and they really caught my interest. I bought their debut album. It's really good.
Having so much media, and so many artists that I love, it's rare instance that I would allow another addition to the family. I think the last additions were the Scissor Sisters, Amy Winehouse, and Vampire Weekend (who I'm on the fence with).
