"Video killed the radio star"
It's true. Back before MTV, and the ensuing technological explosion of the past 20 years, music was far more magical, when there was so many details, left unknown. An artist could be butt ugly, and it didn't matter, because there was only radio. And like Ken said, "Rumours" would never happen, now. The indulgent time taken recording, making it the perfect album. Music(major label anyway) is ONLY a business now.

I too, feel different about Dreams now, knowing that Mick wasn't sitting there, playing the whole song.
