Your first Fleetwood Mac album

[FMlex]

The Dance in 1997 was the first time I heard FM.
I was only seven years old at the time, so obviously I didn't buy it.
But my parents had it playing in their cars for the longest time and I just remember loving it.
Then came the DVD later on and I was able to connect the voice of "Landslide" to that "pretty blonde lady."

Besides that, the first album I actually BOUGHT was Rumours.

My first cassette of Fleetwood Mac was Greatest Hits (1988). But it was a copy, not originall. On that cassette was a first half of Timespace too. I really don´t know when I heard it for the first time... but definitely in 90s . Probably in the second half.

My first originall was CD of Mirage.

But I have to say that the album Greatest Hits from 1988 is most common album of Fleetwood Mac here in the Czech Republic. It was huge success in Britain and Europe generally, so after revolution in 1989 it was expanded in Czech rep. a little bit too.

Yeah, and I forgot Rumours. My daddy had a copy of this on cassette too, just next to the Greatest Hits/Timespace cassette .

Rumours. 2006. I'll never forget listening to this beautiful music, while reading the liner notes detailing all the break-ups (trying to put faces to the names of the songwriters). "Don't Stop" came on and I thought: "Bill Clinton ruins everything. . ." and then "Go Your Own Way" came on and I lost my mind: it felt like love at first sight or like when you finally meet someone who you've seen in dreams before. I was hooked from that moment. The next day, I went to the store and picked up Tusk. The next day, I got the White Album. . . and then I just dove in.

When I was 16, (that would be 10 years ago) me and my friend were going through her dad's old records and tapes, and we found Behind The Mask. I borrowed it, and gave it a listen at home. It's not the greatest album of all time, but I was intrigued. After that I came across the TITN video, and watched it several times in two days. It was not the greatest live performance, but I was intrigued more. Then finally while I was going through CDs in a music store, I saw The best Of from 1988. I decided to gie it a shot, and played it right there on headphones. Since the first second I heard Rhiannon I was hooked. I bought the CD instantly, and drove the rest of my family completely crazy over the next month playing Rhiannon all the time. then a local TV station aired The Dance DVD as a part of a Christmas program. That was the moment I officially became a lifetime fan. The interesting thing was at first I though the original FM lineup was with Billy and Rick. Both BTM, and TITN video were without Lindsey, so...

My dad bought two copies 'The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac' and gave me one. I knew the 'popular songs' and that's all I would listen to. A few years later I actually listened to every song on both albums and was hooked. The first album I bought myself was Mirage. My dad had pretty much bought me (for birthdays and christmas) every other album and box set fleetwood mac had so I could only buy what I didn't have haha.

I think my mam first bought Tango in the Night. I'm not entirely sure though.

I got The Dance as a present when I was five. It was the first CD that I ever listened to and actually knew the words to..... I wore that thing out.

Who buys a 5 yr old a CD as a gift?

Parents who don't want their kid stealing (and scratching) their own Dance CD.



I was OBSESSED with my mom's copy and I wanted one of my own..... I got a little portable stereo with it.

First Mac album I actually bought was Rumours. The first one I heard, probably one of the early Peter Green ones.

My sympathies.

The first one I bought was the white album although it was not the first one I sat down and listened to (that would be Tango from among the studio albums … plus Rumours is practically all on the radio anyway).
