'World Turning' - Fleetwood Mac
Posted by The Archivist on December 31, 2009
As the world prepares to finish one more revolution around the sun, here is World Turning by Fleetwood Mac, which comes in at spot #481 on the 1991 Firecracker 500 ...
World Turning appeared on the band's self-titled album of 1975 which, unlike many albums bearing a band's name was hardly their first. In fact, it wasn't even their first eponymous album. That had been released in 1968.
It says a lot for the album's staying power that World Turning made the Firecracker 500 even though it wasn't one of the three Top 20 singles launched by the LP (those would be Rhiannon, Say You Love Me, and Over My Head). Of course, it says even more about the album's staying power that it managed to hang around on the charts for nearly a year before finally making it to the #1 spot, a record that would stand for 14 years until broken by Paula Abdul's Forever Your Girl.
It was also the album that catapulted Fleetwood Mac from music stardom to true music super-stardom, with more than a little of that fact attributable to the appearance of Lindey Buckingham as the group's guitarist, and Stevie Nicks as its new vocalist.
