"Rumours" is probably my fourth favourite Mac album... |
i don't begrudge rumours its notoriety. it's sold a bajillion albums, and it really is a fab album, as you said. (btw, sorry for using hyperbole when i said you hate it - i know you don't). how "good" an album is is completely subjective, and rumours is the most commercially friendly and successful, so of course most people are going to say it's the best and talk about it the most. it just appeals to the most number of people. does that make sense? i'm tired.
and anyway, i kind of like when i enjoy things that are commercially underappreciated, like tusk or cyndi lauper or LB or whatever.
