What Got You Into "The Mac" First

[Musicman408]

So, which was it that got you into "The Mac" fandom?

For me, it was Say You Will, Fleetwood Mac!

I became enamored with the band's albums & shows first, & then I got into this & that solo performer.

Rather strangely, I was into Stevie before I got into the Mac. I call it strange, however, because I'm now heavily ingrained into the Lindsey camp outside of the Mac themselves. I guess Lindsey just did more to grasp my attention.

It was hearing Gold Dust Woman and The Chain back to back on the radio in the car on February '93 that hooked me! That evening my Mom gave "loaned" me Rumours and Bella Donna, but it took me some time to get into Bella Donna. At the time, Bella Donna sounded very dated to me. I thought Rumours was perfection from first listen, though. So yeah... Fleetwood Mac hooked me, then the solo members trickled down from there. It was probably '00 or '01 until I started buying Lindsey's solo albums, and that totally changed my musical landscape. His albums encouraged me to listen to experimental and Indie artists, and for that I'm so grateful .

The song Rhiannon, followed by the rest of Stevie's Rumours songs, and then realising "Oh! This is the band that does that Don't Stop song, and that Lies one. OH EM GEE. THEY DID EVERYWHERE? MUST CONSUME!"

I was aware of Christine's songs before I knew what the Mac was, but it was, and still is, Stevie's voice and persona that attracted me so heavily to the group. I love Christine and Lindsey's songs too, but, Stevie will always be #1 for me.

My older cousin moved in with us, when I was in 8th grade. She had Tumours. And I was never the same. Seriously. I became so obsessed with Tumours, and FM. I spent hours upon hours, lying on my bed, playing trumpet lines along with it.

It's the REASON I learned to play guitar, and then keyboards. It's quite literally the reason I'm a musician, and the reason I AM, who I am.

I've often told her, that her moving in, with her music, changed my path in life.

Hearing Christine sing Everywhere is what got me. I hated Lindsey and didn't care for Stevie either because I could never understand what she was saying. Then I bought Say You Will and Trouble in Shangri-La, and it's been Stevie ever since.
