Favorite post-Rumours album cover
Please note: I know this board has a tendency towards being...angry, for lack of a better word (as in I noticed a lot of heated arguments tend to break out here from what I've read), but please keep things civil for this poll. I don't wanna see all hell break lose over a poll asking about what album cover you like best
Now that I got that out of the way, my series of polls asking for what album cover you like best has finally come to an end with my final poll (for now, that is, once Christine releases her third solo album, then there'll be a poll for that). You know the drill by now and, since it seemed kinda boring making a poll with only 2 albums, I spoke to Steve (ChiliD) about what I should use for a 3rd one and he suggested the 25 Years-The Chain box set, since it did come out during that era and has many new songs made with this incarnation of the band. |

The Time cover is definitely one of my Top 5 favorite Fleetwood Mac album covers of all-time. The symbolism of a newborn penguin equating with the "rebirth" of the band personnel-wise is just phenomenal.

I don't "get" BtM at all (Yes, it may be distancing themselves from their former image blah blah blah, but that one b word just describes the cover to me), and Time was beyond dull. I enjoy Lindsey's arm on the cover of The Chain because personally it represents the crux of the band during his tenure with them. I believe whol heartedly that the man is the main reason why the band performed as well as they did in the US (I do agree that they did well anyway here in the UK). Possibly because of his eagerness to take the band in new directions and make himself unpopular in order to keep them from growing stale. In recent years, this may have happened anyway. But this has a tendency to happen with bands when they reach a certain point in their careers and they become mostly known for certain songs/concepts. They in some respect became victims of their own success. But considering their ability to consistently draw in fresh crowds, this isn't as much of a problem as it could have been. Because as they constantly appeal to younger audiences, there's always somebody to listen, buy their music and go to their concerts.
I sometimes liken Fleetwood Mac to a classic novel. They had their moment a long while ago, but they still create intrigue and keep people talking and enjoying. |

Anyways, as for myself, quite honestly, I've never cared for FM album covers at all, but now that i think about it, I like Behind the mask to the most of these. Yeah, I know it's symbolism, but I think I read somewhere it symbolizes how Stevie feels "distant" from the band since Bucky left |

What you said was very well-written, and I forgot to mention how much I agreed with what you said

The Behind The Mask concept is just ....odd, for lack of better word. WHO are these people??! It doesn't look like Stevie, one's playing an accordion looking thing, and it looks like they're on the Little House on The Prairie set. & who's in the background with them, Tom Robinson? |

Behind the Mask cover - terrible, like Terra said "Who are these people?" I can picture potential customers back in 1990 asking that same thing.
Time cover - too simple and white. 25 Years the Chain - good one to include here. I love black and the quotes on the liner notes on each CD. My vote...25 Years the Chain How about a favorite album title poll? |

I think I made a mistake voting for Behind the Mask, now that I realize the band wasn't even there. And as for the Time cover, I had no idea there was even a penguin in there, but looking very closely, it was a cute little baby penguin |

Everyone hates the Behind The Mask album cover but I love it. I wish I had a big poster of it to put up.

Don't know if it means distancing themselves from their former image, or distancing from each other. But I loved it from the first time. It's like the Tango cover, I don't know why that painting, can't find a relationship with the band or any song, but it's nice.
