I bought Rumours on the release date of 2/77 then Fleetwood Mac (1975) and Buckingham/ Nicks later that year.
Tusk on the release date in October of '79,later that year all Fleetwood Mac albums from 1967-1974
I bought "Live 1980"on the release date and everything else solo/band on the release date from 1981-present.

......Waiting for the next one

[mylittledemon]

The Dance was first, then the 1988 Greatest Hits, then Tango, Mirage, Tusk, and so on. I actually went backwards in the discography order.

[bwboy]

1) My brothers, who were 10 and 7 years older than me, bought Rumours when it came out, I'm sure. I was born in 1971, so I must have been 6 or 7 when I first heard the album. I remember LOVING the album cover, and after they moved out, they left the album for me.

2) The next album I bought was Stevie's Rock a Little- I had heard Talk to Me and I fell in love with it and the album. 1985

3) Stevie's the Wild Heart was next-1986

4) Bella Donna- 1986

5) By this time, I was a HUGE Stevie fan, and in preparation for Tango coming out, I bought Mirage in early 1987.

6) Tango in the Night -1987

7) Christine McVie's album

8) Stevie's video collection I Can't Wait on VHS! 1987

9) Stevie's Live at Red Rocks concert video on VHS 1987

10) Stevie's White Wing Dove concert video on VHS 1987

11) Fleetwood Mac album- 1987

12) Tusk- 1987

13) FM Live album 1987

14) FM Greatest Hits -1988

15) Buckingham Nicks 1989

Then I bought everything else when it was released, from the FM Tango video to the Chain box set clear up through 24 Karat Gold. However, I got rid of FM's Time and LB's Trouble and Out of the Cradle.

Started with Tusk. Tried to get into Stevie's solo career with BD but was turned off all of it until TITN in 87 which made me collect all the rest.

[pattyfan]

It's only tough if you're young. If you're old, you got them in the order that they were released.


Actually, I"m not THAT old, if you count pre-BN.

FM:
I first bought Tusk, a neighbor didn't like it and gave it to me for 2 DM, good times. Then I bought Mirage the day it came out and some time later I got Rumours and FM. The rest I bought when it came out.
SN:
Wild Heart, when it came out, the rest via Second hand stores.
CMV:
The legendary album via Second hand stores, everything else when it came out.
LB: I don't own any of his solo work
BW: Second hand
Everyone else: Second hand

See, I'm the original second hand news

[WatchChain]

As a 7 year old child in 1977, I saved my allowance to buy a copy of "Rumours". 2 months later I purchased "Fleetwood Mac (White Album)". I bought ALL subsequent BAND AND SOLO ALBUMS (excluding Mick Fleetwood's "The Visitor") in the year they were released, most being ON THE RELEASE DAY.

No real patterns after my initial burst of classic 'Rumours' era albums- I tend to go in phases.
I'm aware I bought some albums in a really curious order such as buying some of the 'middle period' albums about 10 years after I first bought Future Games and not buying The Dance until about 2005.

You've missed out on 'These Strange Times' all these years

[Street_Dreamer]

The 1988 release of Greatest Hits was my first. After that it's a blur.
