^ Are Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, Debussy, Puccini, Dvorak, Dowland a good band? Are they the overseas version of Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Titch? Or are they a firm of lawyers?
:P

And now, thanks to the mrs, I'm in to Fleetwood fuckin Mac. FFS!!
Have been listening to Rumours all week....and now it's Tusk.....
I decided yesterday funnily enough, that Rumours is the best driving album ever
^ I'll agree....until the next "new" thing comes my way :p
"Rumours" is possibly one of the most "complete" albums ever made.
i think that the turmoil in the relationships within the band at the time of writing/recording, meant that every emotion, thought, and conscious action (as well as some sub-conscious ones also) were thrown into the finished recording.
one (other) thing i always thought about it - despite the themes and perpetuating sadness/raw emotions running through it - the tunes/melodies lift the gloom and give the album itself very much a "summer" feel
it also stands the test of time incredibly well.

That's EXACTLY how I see it, and I'm a late starter for Fleetwood Mac - it's a very bittersweet album: raw, to the bone lyrics with an upbeat tempo. Very "complete" as you say.....it's up there with Queen II. Tusk is a great follow up too, btw. Hopefully will be getting to see them live at the Hydro, Glasgow, in October.
That said, their new EP is not up to much!
