When Did You Become A Fan of The Mac/Stevie

[Musicman408]

Pretty self-explanatory.

For me, while vacationing in Destin in 2003, my dad picked up Say You Will while we were at Barnes and Noble. I didn't think anything of it when he bought it- but when we put it in the player, I immediately fell in love!

Summer 2003 for me!

1973, when my aunt played me buckingham nicks~

Just after Christmas of 2007. I heard "Seven Wonders" on the radio, and I swapped my second copy of "Recurring Dream" by Crowded House (my parents and friend doubled up, but that's my fault) for TVBOFM.
Somewhat humorously, I wasn't immediately hooked - "Monday Morning" scared me, as I was expecting something more along the lines of easy listening (I love it now though, and think it's the best way to open a concert). But as soon as "Dreams" came on, I knew I made the right choice.
I remember well the first time I listened to the album... songs like "Say You Love Me" and "Gypsy" would come on, and I'd think, "Wow, that song's by Fleetwood Mac? How about that!"

I was 9 and my folks had the green greatest hits album. I Immediately fell in love with Sara. I remember telling my mom that "that lady has a very pretty voice."

I picked 1981 to 1985 because I became a fan of LB in 1984 and SN in 1985. I wasn't a fan of FM as a group until 1987.

Around 2004.
My parents owned the TITN album and I liked it, plus songs like Dreams and Go Your Own Way, but it took me a while longer before I really "got it".

Well, I wouldn't say my hardcore fandom started till 2007, after I bought the Crystal Visions album. I already knew about The Dance and SYW before that, but that's when I thought I'd find out more, and I really got interested.

There's not a choice in the poll for me.

I became a fan as soon as I heard Peter Green formed his own band after leaving John Mayall's Bluesbreakers in 1967.

[DefDumbandBlond]

I've always loved FM/Stevie, but I started listening a lot more in recent years!

Well, as I've told the board before, when my mom was pregnant with me, my dad put headphones on her stomach and played Rumours over and over again...so technically around 1994...but after i was born my parents had me listen to only classic rock music...thus leading to my first concert being Steely Dan when i was 6...seeing them again when i was 8 in 2003 and Fleetwood Mac that same year. My preschool teacher(who i now work for during the summer) said i would walk into school, singing Gypsy. To this day it's one of my favorites...and then my dream came true last year when i met Stevie for my 14th birthday!

WELL THAT WAS ALONG STORYY lolz

about 1987

I was about 2 y/o and my mom had the Tango tape in our old Jeep - I only would listen to Little Lies, Seven Wonders, and Everywhere and she would constantly be rewinding the tape and letting me listen to those same songs OVER and OVER and OVER! (The "Man's" voice [LB] kinda creeped me out at that age...ha!) and I still have that tape!!!

[louielouie2000]

February 1993 here. I heard Gold Dust Woman and The Chain back to back on the radio in the car one day. I went completely nuts, asking my mother who this band was. She told me... and when we got home she went to my dad's CD collection and handed me a copy of Rumours... and a cassette of Bella Donna... which they've still never seen again 17 years later!

I became a fan in 1988, when my mom brought home the Greatest Hits tape. I was thinking, "Gee, great. A band my parents like. Can't wait to hear this!" But I found myself sneaking the tape to listen to it, in spite of myself. Christine's songs got me hooked.

2003, Say You Will

1997. The Dance on MTV sold me hardcore.
