I love the cover of Rumours. I tell people that picture of Mick and Stevie changed my life. I spent many years secretly trying to re-create it in normal pics with friends and family.

Here's another example of Rumours fun:

Gasp!!! I'd never vote in an invalid poll! The "neither" option is also missing! And why can't I vote for Bekka in this poll?

I do! Mirage may even be my favorite FM album ever, and I'm not even too sure why. Could be that for me, it is a mini-Tusk: 3 solo members playing all together. But each song, minus the one that no one dares speak it's name (), is amazing for me.

Tango In The Night. No question for me! All credit to Brett-Livingstone Strong for creating such a pretty picture!

I love the cover for Mirage. It is beautifully done. I have the album cover hanging on the bedroom wall! (ButterCookie, good move to specifically say 'Rumours Line-Up'!)

All of the above?

It's a toss-up between Tango in the Night and Mirage.

Although Rumours is iconic, I'm not big on the the color . . . but Tusk is so textured and that dog picture is so sublime.

Anyone notice (or will ADMIT to it) that for as "artsy" as both Stevie & Lindsey CLAIM to be, the covers of Fleetwood Mac albums they were on are so incredibly bland compared to those of album covers prior to their arrival??

I'll admit to it. I love Bare Trees and Mystery to Me. As for Kiln House aah where do I start? I love it so much, seriously it's cute, fun and... just, my god, Christine, is there seriously anything you can't do?

I love the Future Games front and back cover!

Future Games is an underrated cover. Glad to see it getting props.

Chili is right on about Time and Bare Trees arguably being the best (I still go with Tusk overall even); plus I have to say, the Behind the Mask cover AND the Say You Will cover are brilliant. Plus the iconic Rumours. I wish I could get into the Mirage cover, but I just can't.

Sure - who wouldn't admit that? (Well, die-hards technically, I guess.)
My favourite front covers overall would be from Kiln House, Bare Trees, Fleetwood Mac (1975), Tango In The Night, and The Dance. My favourite back cover would be from Behind The Mask, believe it or not.

Well I am also picking Mirage even though I do like Rumours also. I also like Tusk but not the dog on the front. Now if it had been one of the many many outtakes -group shots that is & theres many it might have been a better LP cover. I do like Mirage alot but again many many outtakes that I think are better than what was chosen for the LP cover. Live would be nice if only the cover pic wasn't blurred and it was the front of them not there backs. I guess I'm just not into that type of 'art' for an LP cover. I think it detracks from what should be something to promote the band....though I guess everyone 'knew' all about Fmac than because of Rumours but still (but than yet the Eagles hardly ever had there photos on any cover of there LP's either (except for Desperado/alot of back covers though)....I mean Hotel California is just as iconic as the Rumours cover....but I do hate The Long Run cover...all black & boring.....my least favorite of all of them really).....anyway, sorry to get off track.......either way its all good......no mattter what you like or don't.....its still all good.......

Love the white album cover. It's classic. But overall, the artwork on Tusk is intriguing and varied--like the music itself.
