I first heard Rumours when I was around five. I was obsessed with the Dance around this same time and after wearing the CD out day after day (it was the first CD I ever owned), my mom got me Rumours. I distinctly remember sitting on my carpeted bedroom floor and putting the CD in my stereo. I just sat there and listened to the entire thing all the way through.... I think 5 or 6 times that first day. I had also just learned to read so I had a lot of fun deciphering the lyrics within the album booklet. Rumours taught me how to spell some hard third grade level words when I was only in kindergarten (examples: "heartless", "challenge", "together", "clean"....)  If my newfound obsession wasn't concrete after The Dance, it sure was after Ruours. The album stuck to my bones and won't come off

I don't think I've ever heard anyone before mention that Fleetwood Mac was so important in their childhood development (learning to read, being a pretty early memory etc.). That's an amazing, amazing thing when you really think about it...
