First Mac Memory

What is your first Mac memory? As in, the first time you
caught a glimse of or heard them...
I VAUGELY remember hearing "Hypnotized" but my
first crystal-clear memory is hearing "Say You Love Me"
on the radio as a very lttle girl. The sound of that three-part
harmony left such an impresssion on me and still stays with
me to this very day.

Listening to Little Lies on the way to preschool

OHHH, and then, in second grade, when I bought Tusk, and I was afraid of Sister of The Moon, the title freaked me out...

Hmmm.... it'd probably be hearing The Dance's version of Landslide. That one made an instant impression. I loved all of it... Stevie's voice, the lyrics, Lindsey's guitar playing, all of it.

Oh, I don't know if this counts, but I just realized the other day when I bought Enchanted, I listened to Whenever I Call You Friend, and I vaguely remember it from when I was younger... I probably thought it was completely lame back then, too ;-).

Reading about the formation of Fleetwood Mac in an article about John Mayall's Crusade album with then NEW guitarist Mick Taylor who'd recently replaced Peter Green who'd left the Bluesbreakers to form his own band named FLEETWOOD MAC.

A few weeks later I HEARD "Black Magic Woman" for the first time on radio station KNAC-FM (105.5; Long Beach)...DJ/Program Director Ron McCoy played song. A couple of years later, the same DJ played my first listen of "Oh Well".

Getting an issue of Dynamite Magazine that had a photo and blurb, Stevie in a split (I think) and she and Christine both in hats. I thought they were country from the band name and wardrobes.

I guess I was about 8 or 9 years old and I heard "Dreams" on the radio. I use to sing and dance along to the radio while playing 'dress up' in my mother's closet....(I know I sounded pathetic but hey...I practically invented the concept for music videos

)...and I'd dress up as that 'funky little chick' who sang the song.

I didn't know how I knew what Stevie wore, I don't know what "funky" meant....but somehow it all fit.

I heard Dreams on the radio when I was very little and I was afraid of it. Something about the way Stevie sang it and the part about thunder scared me!

I do remember thinking that Stevie's voice was neat, and I asked my mom who she was. From that point on I always remembered that some lady named Stevie sang it. I didn't actually know who Fleetwood Mac was until I became a fan when I saw the Dance on MTV.

Listening to the entire Tango album in a local radio station. I thought it was cool, it sounded similar to Prefab Sprout's Steve McQueen album which I loved (I recently knew it was because both use of the Fairlight music computer), so I bought it and has been my favourite band since then..

Very first? My first memory is seeing/hearing the Gypsy video when I was a wee one and asking my mother why the voice I heard was "weird."

I remember watching TV and then they played the Sara video, this was pre MTV-era, and my brother said.. that song is SARA, and it's Fleetwood Mac, that was the first time I saw Stevie Nicks

I seem to remember hearing 'Say You Love Me' on the radio as a little kid, and since everyone says that no cover's of that song were done, well I guess it was Fleetwood Mac.

I also remember seeing my dad's 'Fleetwood Mac' tape next to Alice Cooper's 'Welcome to My Nightmare'. I remember that I used to get the two titles confused...probably because of the cover of the white album, which I think might have scared me a little.

I also probably heard Don't Stop, Go Your Own Way, Dreams, and Rhiannon without realizing they were Mac songs. I'm sure I saw one of my parent's copies of 'Rumours' too.

My first memory is seeing the Greatest Hits cd in my sister's room, she got it when cd player and cd's were just coming out lol...so it was one of her first cd's...I just remember the cover and Little Lies...for years after I associated Fleetwood Mac with that song and that song alone.....

Probably Hearing my Father play TITN nonstop since it came out in '87 and I was just born in '86. I want back to the album a ferw years ago and all these songs seemed very familiar.
