This album was EVERYTHING in 1977 AND 1978…you couldn’t escape it, but no one wanted to. Epically popular, and now it’s a 70’s rock institution. ❤

The important thing to remember about the lyric, _"Thunder only happens when it's raining"_ is that Stevie is a songwriter, not a meteorologist. ;-]

I love Stevie and Lindsey but give Christine credit also. She was just as important. She wrote some of their greatest songs as well as sung (sings) them!

Sadly not a lot of people know that Fleetwood Mac was band many years before Lindsay and Stevie, Christine was in the band much much longer and she wrote so many fantastic songs before they joined, “Spare me a little of your love”, “Heroes are hard to find”, “Why”, to name a few

The entire Rumors album belongs in The Pantheon of Rock 'N Roll. I think you guys will especially like "The Chain".

Got this as a "Secret Santa" gift in 1977. Still one of the best gifts.

I stood in line behind Stevie Nicks at a Circle-K in Arizona one time. She was buying lozenges and smelled very nice -- like dryer sheets. ••• Thanks! PEACE!!!

The band's most successful incarnation started when Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks joined the band in the 1970's. Stevie and Lindsey are both great writers and vocalists. Lindsey is an evil genius on the guitar. I love the other three as well, but absolutely everything changed for the better when Stevie and Lindsey joined.

You guys are absolutely right. This album was created when everyone was having relationship problems. John and Christine were having problems and eventually divorced. Stevie and Lindsay broke up and Stevie started seeing Mick Fleetwood (the drummer) Stevie, Lindsay AND Christine sing vocals. Christine had the voice of an angel. RIP Christine. Their song "Songbird" is one of the sweetest songs I think I have ever heard. It is just beautiful in it's simplicity and it evokes a feeling that you recognize if you have ever been in love. I also love "You Make Lovin Fun" which Christine also sings. Both are great. Sadly we recently lost Christine but the beautiful music she made will live on thanks to channels like yours. Make sure you hit one of her songs!

Rumours - one of the greatest albums ever!

Stevie freaking Nicks. One of the GOAT female singers of all time.

Rhiannon live on Midnight Special is a must reaction.

"Rhiannon" is another dreamy Nicks song!

Stevie Nicks wrote Silver Springs for Lindsey also when they split. You should give it a listen. Also, some of Stevie Nicks solo stuff. She wrote to process her feelings and there is only so much space on the Fleetwood Mac albums. So she has several solo albums. Edge of seventeen, Leather and Lace with Don Henley, Stop dragging my heart around with Tom Petty, Bella Donna, After the glitter fades, Think about it, all from the Bella Donna album.

Stevie and Lindsey were a couple before they joined the group. At about the same time that Stevie and Lindsey were having troubles, John and Christine were also getting divorced. Lots of drama during the Rumors album!

I’m a longtime student of Fl Mac - The MAC as Mick Fleetwood himself has said - comes from John McVie’s last name which was shortened to MAC - Together the names are Fleetwood Mac ---- and Stevie is not only a singer but also a songwriter and she wrote the song Dreams in 5 minutes.

The Mac in Fleetwood Mac was John Mac. Vie. Also a founding member of the band. I would say that the most important members were the songwriters, Christine Mc Vie, Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham.

One of the greatest bands ever. One of the greatest songs ever. The drums and bass play so well off each other.

I liked Tyler's remark "70s? I wasn't even thought of - my dad was a child." I was a kid in the 70s too and it was a great time to be a kid for many reasons. One, related to this reaction, is - imagine you're 6-10 years old, riding in the backseat of your parent's car and the radio is tuned into WAKY or some other pop/rock station of the time and you're hearing one after the other...Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Commodores, Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney & Wings, etc and it is the current top 40. Not classics. You're just waiting for the next new song to come out and it's going to be good because the talent and creativity of the time was off the charts.

I was living in San Diego when this came out and going through a breakup, I then shipped out to Australia. The groups music saved me.

One of the great bands of all times and they have the hits and awards to prove it. Their award winning album RUMOURS came out in 1977, the decade where music shines. There isn't a bad song on the album. A few other gems to give a listen to are GO YOUR OWN WAY, THE CHAIN AND GYSPY.

Two Words "Oh Daddy".

Fleetwood Mac…classic. Try The Chain. REO Speedwagon, Supertramp, Toto, Little River Band, all great, The Eagles, Doobie Brothers…….

I am an uber super FM/ Stevie Nick's fan. They were together for 8 years and never married. Learn more about that band. It is quite a wild trip. All heavily into coke and lived to tell about it! They're truly amazing!!

If you guys haven’t already reacted to Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain,” you should get to it ASAP. It’s one of their best songs: a true classic.

She didn't just sing, Stevie wrote a lot of the songs too! Mick Fleetwood and John MacVie were both founding members and that's where the Mac comes from!

I saw Stevie sing last Oct with Billy Joel, she's 75 and still sounded amazing in cool drizzly weather. Such a beautiful voice. She was also married to Joe Walsh of the Eagles, he left her because he was afraid one of them would die from all the coke they did.

Lindsey and Stevie joined the group in 1975 . They recorded The Fleetwood Mac album and the band skyrocketed to super stardom from there.

I am a huge Fleetwood Mac fan I love all of them all, so many great songs out these.

Rumors is one of the best albums of all time. Ya dropped the ball on that one!!!

I have every album they came out with.one reason I love ❤ them so much is all their songs tell a story .I'd love 4 u guys to have a reaction to my favorite.GYPSY. keep it up u guys are the 🔥

Stevie Nicks is a prolific songwriter! Her talent knows no boundaries. She saved that band way back when!

So glad my high school years were filled with Fleetwood Mac and all the other great bands during the 70’s. Love watching your reactions to all these artists.

You should do "Go your own way" - Lindsey's side of the situation

My favorite tune from this band. I agree, you don't want it to end.

Saw Fleetwood Mac live many times both in the early years, then into the early 2000's... what I always admired about the band was their live performances did not suffer any of the studio quality clearly evident in their albums... the sound and clarity was just as good... one the best bands ever.

I think “thunder only happens when its raining” is a reference to how every relationship has good times and bad times.

A new group, lol. One of the most iconic bands ever. Probably the most talented bunch ever.

I love Fleetwood Mac because I was 22 yrs when they came out. I have every vinyl record they made. RUMORS is an awesome album. Stevie Nicks the lead singer is still singing. She has a beautiful album on her solo own.

Stevie Nicks is an effing GODDESS 🙌❤️

So cool to see 3 studs digging some 70's Fleetwood !!

Rumors is the 8th best selling album of all time....over 40 million copies sold

Fantástico, one of the best song !!!

I bought the Rumors album when it came out and played it over and over. Dreams is my favorite Fleetwood Mack song.

Sarah by Stevie Nicks ...one of the most beautiful songs

Won this album on a radio show Incredible group, song, and album. Our band played early in our first set and always drew a ton of applause

Legendary track ♡

You all are right :) - Fleetwood Mac had really a lot of members - the most influence in the 60s came from Peter Green - Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham joined the Band in the middle of the 70s and gave the most influence from this time on - their typical sound from the 60s "Oh Well" - typical sound of the 70s "Don´t stop" - typical sound of the 80s "Seven Wonders" or "Little Lies" ...thanks a lot for reacting !! Love them :)

Aside from the general accolades from writing numerous hit songs, Fleetwood Max are also revered by audiophiles for the meticulous production values on their records. Rumors has sold over 40 million copies, making it the highest selling record of the 70's, and the 12th best selling record in history. Though there are many great songs for which to review or react, IMHO, the song 'Sara' is the the best showcase for the band at their best. Great reaction guys. :)

17 when this album came out. I can smell it , taste it, feel it.

There l.P. Stay on the billboard charts for one year,In the eighties.

Pre Buckingham 'Nicks it was Peter Green, Mike Fleetwood, Danny Kerwin, Jeremy Spencer Peter Green was Great Blue's Guitarist

Stevie is an amazing poet!

The BEST drum song... period...

Christine Mc Vie is a CORE MEMBER. She had the most hits. MIck and John are as well. They have been forever. The Rumours five are when they had their most success.

If you haven't yet, you should listen to Stevie Nicks's song 'Edge of Seventeen' and 'Rhiannon.' She wrote all of my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs, although I do like Songbird.

Christie Mcvie sang too. And, she wrote more hit songs for the band than either Stevie Nicks or Lindsey Buckingham.

We also have to give credit to the amazing drumming of Mick Fleetwood and the bass guitar, John McVie - the five of them coming together was genius. And I always liked Christie McVie's smooth vocals. She has her own songs too as well as Lindsey Buckingham. I'm still pissed that Rolling Stone didn't name him as one of the top guitar players of all time. I was like, "WTH? Where's Lindsey Buckingham?!" Please check out "The Chain" - that's a huge favorite too... well, just do the whole album. lol You won't be disappointed by ANY of it!

If you haven`t heard The Chain you definitely need to! It`s my fave by them and the intensity between Lindsay Buckingham and Stevie Nicks is evident, They were going through their breakup.Keep on Rockin`

Fleetwood Mac have three, distinct eras. The only constants being Mick Fleetwood and John McVie( the Mac comes from McVie). The first incarnation, led by Peter Green was a blues based rock band. The second version, after Green left, was fronted by American, Bob Welch had a more pop direction. The third, and most successful lineup formed after Welch’s departure, with the addition of Buckingham and Nicks. It is, by far, the most popular version, although many of us old timers prefer the original lineup. They are really three different bands, depending on the main lead singers/songwriters. Fleetwood and McVie have done alright for themselves.

There's a popular meme going around...Taylor Swift writes whiney songs about her ex's while Stevie Nicks made her ex play guitar and sing backup while she called him an ***hole to his face....lol

Me too, I was in my kitchen cooking, and I heard this song playing in the music room. My late hubby loved music too. He'd bought the album that morning. The minute I heard it I was hooked. I shut off the stove , yelled at him whose that? Grabbed a bottle of wine, my stash of hash, and joined him. I never left until we played that album several times. Me sitting in the rocking chair digging on it. My hubby playing along on the piano! Damn. What an amazing experience! Lol I've read everything I could find on them all these years. Followed their careers. I gotta admit I didn't like Lindsey much because he was such a spoiled conceited jerk..talented no DOUBT! but very controlling.. she was and is a better lyricist than he was. Jealousy on his part. He knew it. Still knows it! As a woman, she gave him her all. But he just didn't get it. Lots of guys are like that. To bad he lost a good woman. Lol I'm 77 and still love her !

The Mac comes from John McVie, who married Christine Perfect, then Christine McVie.

I love this song so much! This is probably my favorite song that Stevie has written. Writing a song about her and Lindsey's break up and then having him sing back up about it is an amazing "BOSS" move. Yes, they were broke up by then. There was so much animosity in the band. Lindsey and Stevie had a love-hate relationship after their break up. They vowed to never let their relationship get in the way of the band though, so the band stayed together through all of that mess. John & Christine divorced then as well. Christine was having an affair with one of the bands electrical techs. and that was it for John and hers marriage. That bands history is really remarkable. I've seen so many documentaries and interviews about this band it is ridiculous. I'm slightly obsessed with them. I have been since I was about 14, so that is 38 years of loving this band and especially Stevie! 😁❤

The Mac comes from John McVie, the bassist and later Christine his wife, who did keyboard and was an excellent vocalist in her own right on several of their hits and Mick Fleetwood, the great drummer. Great band, classic music.

Great song from a great album and a great band!

I think Silver Springs was her response.... You should absolutely check out the live version. The tension is palpable. Its awesome

Agreed. It’s amazing to watch

Got that album for Christmas in 1977, I was 13. One of the best albums of the 70's. Christine McVie wrote 50% of their singles. Lindsay and Stevie are not the most important members. All 5 are the most important members. Actually Stevie was considered Fleetwood Mac's "Little sister". Just saying. All 3 singer song writers were amazing. Super talented band with McVie and Fleetwood one of the most original rythem sections in rock n roll. Don't get me wrong Buckingham is an amazing guitar player and singer and a gifted producer, and Nick's is one of the most prolific song writers in rock history. But Christine's blues keyboards, prolific hit writing, and honey dripping vocals are no back seat. With the Mac it was all about chemistry, chemistry and drama, lol.
