Your first Fleetwood Mac album

[sjpdg]

Mine was Fleetwood Mac/Fleetwood Mac (aka The White Album), then Rumours, then Tango In The Night, then Tusk, then Then Play On

[Chris_Sydney]

'Tango In The Night' for me. I have similarly early memories of hearing 'Seven Wonders' as part of a tourism advertisement on Australian television.

Mine was Behind The Mask in 1990, then the self-titled. My dad already owned Rumours and we got Behind The Mask shortly after seeing them in Manchester on the same tour. The self-titled is my favourite Fleetwood Mac album, and Crystal my favourite song by them!

[Tusk!]

My first was the white Fleetwood Mac album. I ended up with the cassette, album, CD and even the eight-track version. Also have this album in the Original Master Recording version. Of course I also have every subsequent Fleetwood Mac album in nearly every form.

Mine was Say You Will, i was 12, and i remember watching The Dance on Vh1 Classic, and afterward (with no knowledge of FM) buying SYW. Afterwards came The Dance, Rumours, Fleetwood Mac, Live In Boston, In The Meantime, Mirage, Law And Order, Tango In The Night, and Bella Donna. I bought Tusk and Live from Itunes.

My first FM album i bought myself was 'The very best of' ..

TUSK!

Got it on a trade for some lame Paul McCartney album.

[LiamMcConville]

Greatest Hits album.

[Matthew]

Mine was Greatest Hits from 1988 too.
I remember I just loved Everywhere, Little Lies, No Question Asked, Gypsy, Sara and Seven Wonders.

(That's probably the best thing to do with a Paul McCartney album. )
(Also, this is a fascinating thread!)
Mine was The Very Best Of Fleetwood Mac. I'd accidentally asked both my friend Jenelle and Mum to buy me "Recurring Dream" by Crowded House for Christmas two years ago, so I tried to think of something else to get to swap with the extra copy at JB Hi-Fi. I'd recently heard the songs "Seven Wonders" and... something else I can't remember... and I found out they were by a band called Fleetwood Mac. At the time I also considered Dream Academy, as I loved "Life In A Northern Town", but my Mum didn't know much about them. But she knew Fleetwood Mac (of course). So on our way down to a beautiful place called Halls Gap in the Grampians of Victoria, we stopped at JB Hi-Fi, and I swapped the extra "Recurring Dream" for the 2CD Very Best of FM. I put on the first CD, and was ABSOLUTELY HORRIFIED by "Monday Morning"! I was so shocked that I almost reconsidered my decision! However, Dreams came on, and I then realised that my purchase (actually, present) was sound.
During the trip I realised that FM had played all these songs I really liked ("SYLM", "Gypsy", and various other singles, particularly my nostalgic "Little Lies", which is one of only three songs I remember from when I was about four years old, the other two being "Walk of Life" by Dire Straits, and "Heart of Glass" by Blondie), but had never known the band. Within months, if not sooner, they became my lifelong favourite band!
After TVBOFM, I bought Fleetwood Mac, Rumours, Mirage, and TITN simultaneously late last year. I played them all in that order within two days. I think "Caroline" was the most memorable song (although they kinda all are really) the first time through. All those albums have since endured a good thrashing!
I got Tusk and Go Insane for my birthday this year (which have both now been thrashed, particularly as they're my favourite FM and LB albums respectively), and bought L&O and OOTC sometime earlier this year. I bought Christine McVie a couple of months ago, and have had Timespace for quite a while now.
Btw, I love Monday Morning now, especially after it was the opening for Tuesday's Brisbane concert!
Also, because I'm actually from Melbourne, and couldn't take too many accessories, TVBOFM got thrashed for the first time in quite a while. I must admit I did notice the improved remastered quality of the album, compared to the others which I normally play (for the sake of listening to all of their songs, of which each and every one I unabashedly love... although perhaps not entirely equally).
Once again, I've waffled incessantly.

Say You Will- Destin, 2003. My dad bought it for himself.

And there formed my musical wild, wild heart!

[Villavic]

LIVE. I think I bought it circa 1982.

While I first heard the dance in a barbershop earlier this year(a religous experience, see the songs of nostalgia thread) The first album I bought was Say You Will. Even today, it remains my personal favorite album, although in terms of quality, I would rank them like this
1.Tusk
2.Say You Will
3. Rumours
4. Tango in the Night
5. Mirage

Heresy I know!!

I guess im a fan of when FM experiments?
Don't get me wrong though, If my ipod was a cd player, rumours would have holes worn in it from repeated listening.

There's a lot of fans who would not choose Rumours as their fave so don't worry!
