She's one of the few current people I like.

Wow. That's exactly like me,

Mine's the exact opposite. I say "Can I have some Blondie on?" and get "NO. Have you got any Fleetwood Mac?"

My step dad likes FM, but he's not massive on them. My little sister sounds like she'd get on with your brother *ugh* it disgusts me to walk past her room and hear the chart show, although GYOW is her all time favourite song and she has a little crush on Linds. My Mum is a Stevie fan through and through, she has the moons and the insence everywhere and wears waterfall cardigans and floaty sweaters. It gets too much very quickly.

So no, I'm not alone in my love for FM but I'm alone in my love for Christine. I start raving about her and they look at me like I've just dribbled on my shirt. None of my friends or family really like '69 to '74 Mac, which is my favourite. Mum loves TITN and Dad just listens to The VBO in the car.

I was very openly a complete FM and SN freak in my teens and early twenties (roughly from about '78 to '86 ish). But then, I don't know what happened, I just drifted off music completely. It was weird. And I did a lot of writing and reading instead.

And then ... about six months ago ... BAM! It all came back. Like someone flipped a switch. I think it might have been sparked by a screenplay I was trying to write, which made me listen to 'Sara'!

Thing is, I met and married my old man in the non-music phase, so this is all a bit extreme for him! It's OK, though. He likes some FM, and he likes Stevie's voice (if not always her songs or the production sound, which is hard to argue with).

Some of the people who've been in my life the longest (my sisters, a couple of friends) are like 'Oh, you're back to that!' and just laugh.

I kind of agree, tho, with the person who said it's nice to be 'out of step' a little.

And I'm just thrilled to have found The Ledge (which is the only message board I've ever been on, and am slowly learning the etiquette of, so sorry if I get things wrong).

I'm a lone fan in my family. Well, everyone knows who they are and my dad likes them but never listen to them, my mum I don't think she likes them that well, she never listen to them and my sisters..no. lol But it was my dad who made me start listen to Fleetwood Mac. And now they know much about them just because I am a die hard fan and listen to them every day...but yeah, I'm a lone fan yeah.

And even in my old class, while I was a soo obsessed die hard fan in 2008/09, nobody knew who Stevie was when I did a project about her in school, actually, most of them thought she was a guy before they saw a picture of her....
Now, some of my friends in class know who they are, because I'm in a music class

I can't function properly in a single day without the music of the 5 wonderful people in the Mac.

My best friend thought she was a dude too!

She asked me what I was listening to and I said 'Outside the Rain by Stevie Nicks' and she asked me if that was one of his better songs!! I was like, SERIOUSLY? She still calls her a guy every chance she gets even though she knows better!

This may sound weird, but not even my best friends know that i adore & listen to Stevie's music all the time, like driving in my car or at home alone during the day & staying up till 2am listening with headphones on every night whilst on my computer scanning the ledge & many nights watching Stevie clips on you tube. I didn't tell anyone that i drove 2hrs to see the Unleashed concert on my own, i had the best time ever.. It was such a buzz, i didn't feel alone surrounded by SO many other excited Mac fans..

My 3 teenage son's don't mind hearing my Stevie music in small dose's, also my 70 yr old Dad thinks Mick Fleewood is the best crazy drummer on the planet,
But yeah im def a lone Stevie fan outside my home...

This made me smile. I am not alone in this world.

xD That's so weird. Last time I went out with my mum, we were sat in the car, in the carpark, dancing and singing along to Rapture for ages until my mum was all "We're starting to look a little weird, time to stop"

The only Fleetwood Mac song she really knows is Little Lies, and my brother loves to sing "pick up the pieces and go home" whilst laughing at me when he wants me to go back to my flat D=<

My brother enjoys singing "she's a dragon" at me. Sometimes it's amusing somtimes it is not.

My mom likes FM (she came into my room once when I had Rumours on repeat and was like "This is a great album...all the songs on here are good."), but most of my friends don't. Being at music college, when you introduce yourself, the format is basically; name, semester, principle instrument, favorite band/type of music. I always get weird looks when I say Fleetwood Mac.

YOU'RE NOT ALONE.

(Haha, my roommate is like "WHENEVER I HEAR FM, I THINK OF YOU NOW.

)

yay

People ask me what they sing when I tell them their my favorite band. One girl the other day was like, "Wait, don't they sing stop draggin' my Heart around?"
I was like, "Close, but Fail."

24-7 I listen to fleetwood mac all the time!!!!

My mom seems to like FM & Stevie. She sings along a bit in the car if an FM song comes on, and she's talked about Stevie a little bit (stuff that I already knew of course

) but it was nice that she showed the interest. She really doesn't seem to be into music as much as she used to be, and music is a huge part of my life so anything I can get out of her I'll take.
