I think my family thought I was 'strange' for liking such 'old music' (this was in the mid 80s  ) My mom liked almost nothing by the members of FM (aside from Dreams & Edge of Seventeen). My dad thought they were okay, but didn't get why I was crazy for them. My siblings hated FM.
Most people I went to school with thought I was off the wall. I met a few students over the years who liked FM, but not many. Mostly, I had to hang out with owners of used record stores, who were 3 times my age, to find a fan!
Over the years, I came to the conclusion that it didn't matter if anyone else liked the music I loved! I was happy with it and that was the important part.
At least one thing is good, my husband doesn't hate Fleetwood Mac! Of course, he doesn't love them to the extent that I do, but he enjoys them. He likes Christine the best. I got lucky there!  |
Your Story is very similar to mine, i got into them about 87/88 when i was about 12/13. My mum hated them, my dad was ok with them but i played them obsessively so he used to get fed up with them. I managed to get a couple of my friends into them and they are still fans to this day allbeit not as mad as me, most of my other friends were into the Stock, aitken and waterman dross that dominated the uk charts at the time (i regularly got the p*** taken out of me at school when' i'd rather jack ' came out) My Dad liked them more when he took me to see the Behind the mask tour at wembley when he was forced to admit what a great live band they were. Now my partner likes a couple of songs 'The Chain' and 'Tusk' which he can remember as a little kid (I can't he is 4 years older than me though) and he loves 'Holiday Road'.
And my 5 year old picks out Lindsey in every photo of that lineup that i have and i'm quite happy with that!
