Smack in the middle of the 36-45 folk. I've been a Fleetwood Mac fan since I was about 11 and my first album was Rumours. My first ever concert was on the Rumours tour. My brother got us third row in front of Lindsey.... and I've never been the same. :)

It never ceases to amaze me how every note of their music is still just as enjoyable as the first time. They just don't seem to get old... in my book. As I tell anyone who will listen, their stuff (even pre-B/N) is light years better than anything released by the "wanna-bees" of recent. Such a wonderful combination of musicianship, lyrics, songs, vocal arrangements, etc., etc.
They just don't make 'em like that anymore.... to say the least.

26-35 and lovin' it. :blob1:

Karlie 02-27-2006 10:31 PM

I'm 15. :o

JWS 02-27-2006 10:57 PM

I'm generalizing but I think there are two fan age groups. Those 46 and up that remember FM the first time around (I'm not meaning pre BN) and 20 somethings that picked up on FM with the 1997 Dance DVD or listened to their parents records. I know people in their 30's that never heard of FM or Nicks.

Hi Karlie, we're LA neighbors. Curious. Please tell us why a 15 y.o. would have any interest in ancient rockers like FM and Stevie Nicks. Do you like the Beatles, Stones, and Beach Boys too?

Oykamu 02-27-2006 11:57 PM

Just changed age groups actually. I'm nineteen.

wondergirl9847 02-28-2006 12:12 AM

My age...
 
I'll be 30 on May 2. Didn't grow up with FM (though, I do remember hearing their songs on the radio as a kid) and found them through Lindsey in 2001. :)

none of the above.

i'm turning 36 in a couple of months. i discovered FM in 1987 when i was 17 and heard seven wonders and little lies - and decided i HAD to see them live. and so i did. and i was hooked.

GypsySorcerer 02-28-2006 12:28 AM

I'm in the 19-25 group, but barely....I'll be 26 in June.

pianogirl04 02-28-2006 12:43 AM

I'm 20. Been a Mac fan since I was 11. Some things never change.

Hey. The question is, why would I not have any interest in 'ancient' rockers? They're so much better than stuff like Ashlee Simpson and Fall Out Boy, or whatever the kids listen to these days. The 'ancient' musicians I like actually have talent.

And yes, I like the Beatles and Stones; not so much the Beach Boys, though.

Here here! 17 year old checking in here...Stones tickets for Sydney show go on sale on Friday!:blob2:

I would hardly call them ancient rockers either, people like Fleetwod Mac, The Stones, Beach Boys (Well Brian Wilson) and Paul McCartney are still releasing new, relevant material today.

I think you would be surprised about the number of younger people not in to pop crap, those are however just a very vocal group of people.

I saw Paul back in November -- if you ever get the chance to see him, GO. I'm still amazed four months later. Right up there with a Mac show in my book... it was fabulous.

elie 02-28-2006 04:39 AM

I am (since I don't mind revealing my age) going to turn 30 in June, so I voted the 26-35 group.
I became a fan of Stevie's around the time Rooms on Fire came out (I was about 13 then) and I also had Tango in the Night.
But I guess I belong to the group that really got hooked after the Dance.

WelshWitchPMD 02-28-2006 07:10 AM

I am 40 and I have been a fan since 1977.

Gailh 02-28-2006 08:13 AM

47 fan since 1973

Wow...B/N were popular? I seriously never knew that.

Wow...so awesome that you have been a fan since the early 70's...

They were pretty popular in a number of local markets (local what?), notably Birmingham, Alabama. But I don't think they fared very well around their home base of Los Angeles, and obviously they never achieved any level of national fame.

ok ok maybe not popular in the rest of the world.but in our house ..:-) ..My sister was a huge music fanatic and although I was just a "kid"..I remember her listening over and over to it..Funny though as the years progressed..her music choices changed and she lost interest in the Mac..but I took over !!.

Well ..guess that makes me ...old..? but its sorta neat remembering when in junior high and high school..there were always us chicks who had the Stevie look...(witchy ,hippie whatever you want to call it..now a days they call it gothic or something or other I think...Stevie's look is Timeless .I miss the 70s...LOL....

TomBanks147 02-28-2006 10:53 AM

I'm 17 (18 in July) been into Fleetwood Mac on many levels since "Say you Will".

I thought/think that the album, say you will goes deeper musically and Lyrically than any other album that has come out in the last 10 years be it Fleetwood Mac or any other artist. It's been in my top 3 favourite albums (Along with the Dance and Rumours) ever sicne it was released. I think it's the best work the Mac have ever done and that's what got me into them (off course I backtracked from that album and bought every other release and discovered my favourite band) It's just my opinion I LOVE SYW as many other's on the forum have a passion for it and all things post Dance it seems but I have to admit the Dance-present era is my favourite Mac era.

I don't think it's unsuall for a 17 year old to like the Mac I know loads of people my age that know them through there parents and like a few songs plus I know one other finatic. The Best of is always in our UK top 40 album charts so it obviously selling to new and old fans alike.

I specifically remember Stevie talking about that at Fleetwood Mac's Birmingham concert in '03 too.:thumbsup:

Sahara 02-28-2006 04:52 PM

I'm 16, 17 in November but for the purposes of this board I'm on the Edge of Seventeen. Eeeee, that's just fun to say.

Tynan, I never knew you were my age! And you went to _how_ many of the Australia concerts?! :woohoo:

danax6 02-28-2006 06:13 PM

I'm in the 19-25 group...barely. I guess I belong to the 'hooked since The Dance' group, though I have been 'listening' to them a lot longer than that.
