Which RUMOURS LINE-UP album artwork is your favourite?

[ButterCookie]

Jumping right on the poll badwagon now. Seeing as art and album sleeves are something close to my heart, which does everyone prefer? I have all my albums on vinyl so I can get the pictures as big as possible.

I chose Tango in the Night because I love that it's a painting and I also love Rousseau

I didn't include Behind the Mask or Say You Will because without Lindsey and Chris, they're not Rumours-era

[nailatixela]

Out of those, Rumours, but I really like The Dance, and Live is interesting as well.

[ButterCookie]

Oh poo. I had meant to put The Dance on here Live just aggravates me because it looks like someone pushed the photographer over as he pressed the shutter release

[tilthefirefades]

Mirage for me. I have it framed in my living room.

[DefDumbandBlond]

The Dance would have been my #1, but Mirage is my second

It's a no-brainer for me- Tusk for the win. If you include all of the artwork, including the double inner sleeves, it's perhaps the most opulent, ornate album packaging ever. I love Peter Beard's work, especially his photographs of Africa. But he takes it to another level with the surreal collages and cryptic writing. And the icing on the cake is the gorgeous group photos. The only thing that could have improved the package would have been a lyric sheet.

I love this photo from inside Tusk. Mainly because, when I've been out for the night, I come home and play it. When I pick up the sleeve, Christine and John look like bats and it's highly amusing

And, the 1980 Live album is conspicuously absent, as well.


I chose the 1975 self-titled album....John (or the "mini-John" at least) made the front cover of an album, FINALLY.

But, since nobody asked, my favorite Fleetwood Mac cover of ALL-TIME is Time. With Bare Trees a close second, followed in close order by: Kiln House, Then Play On, then Mystery To Me

I had intended to put The Dance on, like I said. The Live album didn't cross my mind, because like I said, I pushed it to the back of there. It completely baffles me how somone can be so happy with something so... blurred. It's not even conceptual (and I am a photographer). I could argue, however, that I've only chosen to include studio albums

I have John on quite a few of my custom made bootleg album artwork

That poll would have been in pre-Rumours My all time favourite is Kiln House, but this isn't the right forum.

I LOVE the cover of Mirage, though it always confused me when i got into FM, it thought it was tango in the night, because stevie and lindsey look like their dancing, and tango in the nights cover looks like a mirage.

Anywho...Mirage is grossly underrated among FM fans, i might like it better than even rumours!

[michelej1]

I nod to the McVies with Bare Trees and Kiln House appreciation.

I love the Mirage cover, but I'd open the front and back to make it one long poster, with all five of them.

They all look pretty darn tasty, if I may say so.

I adore the Mirage cover! It's sooo cool. How everyone is connected in some way - it doesn't leave out any members (if you consider the back) and the color scheme is AMAZING! Definitely my favorite!

[goldustsongbird]

There's no "all of the above" option. Invalid.

[Street_Dreamer]

Mirage.

Between Mirage and Rumours for me, although I'd have to go with Rumours, it's just such an iconic image.

Mirage is a very close second, but if I stare at it for too long, I notice things I don't like about it. Stevie's neck is something I find fascinating, but awful at the same time.

Also, the thing they do with their hands, freaks me out. First time I realised it, I jumped
