Happy 28th Birthday to Rumours!

Shamelessly lifted from Stevie-Nicks.info:

Today In Stevie History
On February 4, 1977



Fleetwood Mac's crowning achievement RUMOURS was released. The blockbuster album spent 31 weeks at #1, spawned four Top 10 singles ("Go Your Own Way" [10], "Dreams" [1], "Don't Stop" [3], "You Make Loving Fun" [9]), and won the Grammy for 'Album of the Year.' To date, the album has sold more than 18 million copies in the US (25 million copies worldwide).

I think everyone's preoccupied with the latest boxing match on the Chit-Chat forum.

I love Rumours. The first Mac-related albums I bought were Mirage and Bella Donna, after seeing the videos from each album on an MTV "Rock Block" (remember those???). Then I caught the HBO concerts - I remember they re-played Stevie's after one of the airings of the Mirage concert. After seeing Stevie's show, I became OBSESSED with "Gold Dust Woman" and had to have it. So, I went to the library and found a magazine article that said the song was included on Rumours.

So, I went to KMart and got the Rumours LP the next day. At first I couldn't find it, because it wasn't in the Fleetwood Mac section. Then I turned around, and noticed an album with a woman who looked like Stevie peeking out of a bin in the country section, looking very out-of-place. I couldn't see the album name because of a big round sticker of a penguin listening to a gramophone on the outside plastic. The sticker said "National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences - Album of the Year".

Buying and discovering new music used to be SO much fun before the Internet. And you certainly got LOTS of exercise.

No, it's because I think their crowning achievement was Tusk.

Also, I never realized Rumours was released so close to Valentine's Day.

Isn't that ironic? (Don't ya think...)

Oh my, tell me about it. One of my favorite stores is a little record shop called Turn It Up! and they let you listen to vinyls, CDs, cassettes, and the like before you even buy it. They've got every nook and cranny filled with music and I spend hours at a time in there. Totally love it.

I'm sure your parents felt the same way when they forgot your birthday, or threw bigger birthday parties for your younger brothers and sisters.

Dammit - now I wanna see Sixteen Candles!

"Grandparents forgetting a birthday? They live for that ****!!!"

I hated birthday parties, so I WANTED my mother to forget!

Crap, I was expecting you to say you were an only child and had my response all ready to go:

"Then your family pets must've had the BEST birthday parties in the neighborhood!"

I hate being the same age as Rumours. Like the album, I was "born" in 1977. Now I get to look forward to turning 28 ( and I AM NOT!!!!!)

Anyway, HB Rumours.

Cheers to the greatest album of all time in my book!

WOOHOO! I totally agree. Although Christine's song pretty much get slammed by a lot of folks on that record, but how I still love TUSK!
