I thought Dreams was really nice, but I love their version of Never Going Back Again. Loved the guitars at the end.

Default hmmm.

interesting. but why don't they just play the songs from the record like they did with "The Chain." That was cool.. I do like the continued "Fleetwood Mac" references and dug seeing the Rumours cover.

I liked "Songbird"

FM/Rumours is getting amazing airplay on this show. Love the reference in the beginning to say that it is one of the greatest records ever. Love that they sang IDWTK. I hope this finally gets Rumours into the 20M sales mark. Been stuck at 19M for way too long.

Well, when the show began an hour ago, Rumours was at #139 on iTunes. Now it's at #42!

I think you're missing the point of the show.

I don't really like Glee but I thought they did the songs justice! I especially like Rachel/Lea Michele's "Go Your Own Way" and "Never Going Back Again". They managed to make the songs fit the plot too. Not too bad and if this episode makes some people discover the Mac, well, it's a success.

I thought their version of "I Don't Want To Know" was awesome! I can't stop listening to it! Very Mac sounding "Never Going Back Again" was also pretty good.

That being said, I wasn't a big fan of the others. I felt "Dreams" was really lacking. I'm not crazy about "Go Your Own Way" being sung by a girl. (I said that to my mother who replied, "wasn't the original sung by a girl?" What?!? And she calls herself a fan! ) And I could not stand "Don't Stop"....

But yes if this generates new Mac fans then hooray!!

I liked Dreams only because Kristen Chenoweth is absolutely phenomenal.

Go Your Own Way was bad (I really like Lea Michele but meh), and Don't Stop was typical and cheesy, and Never Going Back Again was promising until they kicked in the drums and other guitars and ruined the song imo.

I Don't Want to Know was worst of all, imo. Hearing it REALLY made me appreciate the chemistry Stevie and Lindsey have when they sing together... there was technically nothing wrong with the Glee version, they did all of the harmony's pretty much spot on to the original, but it didn't FEEL right. It lacked energy and life. I was cringing.

How funny. Fleetwood Mac's Rumours just trumped Stevie Nicks' In Your Dreams in the Top 10 iTunes albums. Rumours is at #4 thanks to the Glee episode.

Color me impressed!

They did a great job!

I like how they thru 'The Chain' into the episode.

I feel bad for Sam, Chord Overstreet is so cute! His Dad is a country singer, he had a hit in the 80's with Tanya Tucker & Paul Davis.

Well Mac gets to go "cha ching" again! Rumours is the best retirement fund ever. I'm so happy for them and psyched that Glee did such a wonderful job with these songs. I also liked Never Going Back Again, the extra guitars give it a richness. I like hearing Matthew's harmonies on Dreams and thought Kristin did a really good job with it. All of the songs were good, I'm going to have to download my first Glee songs I am thinking. I'm a fan of the show but have never downloaded any of their songs. Rock on FM!
