When did you.....

When did you become a fan & how old are you now?

Just curious to know more about my fellow Ledgies!

Also will be posting this over on the Rumors board. I like to post both places because I get more input.

I was 4 & loved "Stop Draggin My Heart Around". I always loved FM too but it wasn't till I was about 10 that I realized that Stevie was the other "girl" in FM. I remember thinking, "So that's why I like them so much!"

I'm 24 now.

I was 5 years old when I first heard Dreams playing on the radio. I instantly took a liking to the song. Many years later, I got reaquainted with FM through the Dance and have been a huge fan of FM and Stevie ever since.

Well, I had never heard Stevie's music until this year. I knew who she was, my mom had the Wild Heart on vinyl and one time when I was younger I looked at it and was like, why does this lady have a guy's name? lol. anyway I was a big Sheryl Crow fan (I still like her though not as much) and I had bought her live CD which featured Stevie singing Gold Dust Woman. I was blown away by the song and was instantly captivated by the voice! Anyway, a few days after that my dad and I were watching VH1's 100 greatest albums and Rumours came on. My dad told me it was a great CD and that I should buy it, and since I usually like my father's taste in music and I wanted to hear more of Stevie, I went out and bought it. And from that point on, I was hooked. I know have almost all of Stevie's albums, both solo and with Fleetwood Mac and I'm working on getting the rest.

I'm 18.

I liked Dreams when I heard it on the radio as a little girl(it got constant air play) but I really started getting into Stevie in the 80's with the release of her first solo album. I then dug through all of my parents FM albums and totally fell in love! I'd listen over and over, and I still do. I guess you could say I'm obsessed at times. It could be worse! (LOL)

Don't worry Nae, we are all a little obsessive at times. My obsessiveness goes in spurts. Dramatically LONG spurts (20 yrs now

) We still love you.

I guess i became a fan when Bella Donna came out...I loved "Stop Draggin My Heart Around" and bought the 45...then HBO had her concert on (White Wing Dove) and i fell in love even more...i jsut thought she was incredibly beautiful to say the least and had a definate grace and style about her that set her apart from the others. Right at that time i learned she was in Fleetwood Mac and the rest is history. i was 11 then. I'm 32 now!

Nae...i hear ya!

I became a big fan in around 1984 when I was 14. I knew of Fleetwood Mac but a neighbour (who incidentally was a year younger than me) played me Edge of 17 from Bella Donna. And that was it! Hook, line and sinker!

A few years ago when i was 14, i was going camping and i normally take cd's because the trip can get a little boring. But i was tired of all of my cd's. So i decided to check out my dad's collection of cd's and pick a couple out. Needless to say, I picked up Fleetwood Mac, Rumours and The Dance. I was instantly hooked

The whole four hours there, the whole week i was there and the whole four hours home, those were the only 3 cd's to every be in that cd player!

That's how i became a FM fan!
(and the day after i got home from that trip, i bought Timespace)

My sister listened to them in the 80's...I liked Little Lies...but never really realized that other songs I liked were by Fleetwood Mac...then I heard the Dance...but I didn't want to...I was stuck in a car with my sister and her husband and they were listening to it....and I pretended to be asleep....but when Rhiannon started I really started paying attention...and I just fell in love...and then listened to more FM...as much as I could get my hands on...and I started learning about the ban...then I vowed I would never become a "weird Stevie Nicks obsessive" so I tried to get all into Christine...then there's a fuzzy line...and I am now a bona-fide weird Stevie Nicks obsessive lol

Oh...this all happened when I was 17

Well I've been a fan since about the summer of 8th grade (VERY depressing summer) when I decided to dust off the cobwebs off of my mothers "Enchanted" Boxset since I thought she would like it because we watched the BTM a thousand and one hundred times and I suggested to my stepfather he get it for her birthday but really....it was ME subconciously that fell in love with it.......Wooooooooooooooo I LIKE my runons...

Then since I already had all those Stevie songs I was HELL BENT on buying each Mac album one by one by listening to "Stand Back" off Enchanted...while doing the dishes ...while dancing..and lipsyncing till I got PAID enough to buy each one and THEN proceeded to buy every STEVIE album!...Woooooooooo AGAIN

I'm a SENIOR in HIGHSCHOOL now and 17 years old

LOL

Well.... I've always liked Fleetwood but didn't become an addict until "The Dance" came out. My mom played "FM" and "Rumours" thoughout my childhood and I always really liked them. Then this one day I was flipping through the channels on my tv and I came across the concert.... it was during Lindsey's preformance of "Big Love".... I was speechless! That was the moment I became hooked. I'll never forget it...

Anyways, I'm 21 now and love them more than ever!

My parents used to play FM to me when I was a baby, and when I was 13(still am)I really wanted know who FM were. I asked someone and they told to me to buy or borrow one of their albums. I asked my dad for one of their albums and he gave me Greatest Hits 1988. I listened to the first 2 songs and I was like 'I've heard these before, they're both amazing.' When I listened to Little Lies, I realised that when I was a child, my mum played this album to me and she would sing along to the song.
About one month later, I got Tango and Greatest Hits 1971. I've been buying FM albums every month since July.
