The fifth studio album and the first Fleetwood Mac album to feature Christine McVie as a full member of the band with American Bob Welsh replacing Jeremy Spencer on guitar, marking Fleetwood Mac's transition from a British blues band to an Anglo-American melodic pop sensation with superstardom just around the corner. 





Excellent Paul. Great albums largely unknown or forgotten. Bring us more.

4 stars 1970: Fleetwood Mac - Kiln House -  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoIDt_C5y1LtwqhdGko2YJ3VgeRXC6hZn

A transitional album, being the first Fleetwood Mac album without founder member Peter Green and the last album to feature Jeremy Spencer before his abrupt departure for the Children of God religious sect. Kiln House also features Christine McVie on piano and backing vocals, although not yet a full-time member of the band.

3 stars 1969: Fleetwood Mac - Boston Blues - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoIDt_C5y1LuhvbXnETJHvVjhA8CkyBYV

Are you going to the Boston Tea Party? The sensational Peter Green band certainly are in one final live performance before Peter Green bowed out of Fleetwood Mac forever. Cry

3 stars 1969: Fleetwood Mac - In Chicago - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoIDt_C5y1Lu5Bwm28_AgaFpsGfnoRYYK

Not a live concert in front of an audience, but a studio blues jam at Chess Records in Chicago, featuring the five-piece line-up of Mick Fleetwood, Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, John McVie & Jeremy Spencer.

4 stars 1969: Fleetwood Mac - Then Play On - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoIDt_C5y1LsoAo_0V9AIg31BiiytMP0h

Fleetwood Mac's third studio album and the first to feature Danny Kirwan. Then Play On features the single "Rattlesnake Shake" (including a surprise appearance by Hugh Hefner), but sadly, doesn't include Peter Green's "Oh Well", "Man of the World", or "The Green Manalishi" (at least not until the 2013 remaster). Oh Well, C'est La Vie. Confused

4 stars 1969: Fleetwood Mac - The Pious Bird of Good Omen - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLoIDt_C5y1LvBVNZzhMA-1Ewg1ifU1k0u

Not a studio album, but a compilation of non-album singles and b-sides and well-worth buying just for the following two classics alone.

The same core line-up as the first album, consisting of Mick Fleetwood, Peter Green, John McVie and Jeremy Spencer, with the added attraction of Christine Perfect McVie featuring as a guest musician for the first time on a Fleetwood Mac album. Mr. Wonderful continues with the bluesy tradition of the debut album, but features a less-than-wonderful album cover of a naked Mick Fleetwood, although the associated English Rose album cover wasn't just Bad - it was Even Worse! Ouch

Pious Bird of Good Omen
Live at the BBC
25 Years - The Chain (because I can pick and choose songs from later albums)

Album’s don’t come much more classic than Rumours. Not just for the music, but the whole story of how they managed to make something so good despite all the “domestic” issues going on. It’s timeless😎

My question is do you think Rumours is their best album? Confused

I think every Fleetwood Mac albums is flawed (but I could say the same about Genesis) - even Rumours. And some of their best material ended up as singles only (or B-sides like Silver Springs). BUT I think people unable to enjoy some truly heartfelt, well composed and downright stunning AOR are missing out. sl*g.ing off a period that gave us timeless classics such Landslide, Rhiannon, Dreams, Gold Dust Woman, Storms, Sara, Gypsy and many more as commercial junk... Well, it just makes me feel sorry for that person really.

I guessed Rumours would be #1. I'm surprised the Mirage album only has 13 points so far though. Confused

Well for those of you who do like the Buckingham-Nicks era FM, you might want to check out the album Buckingham-Nicks if you can get hold of it. It has some brilliant songs including a better (imo) version of "Crystal" which turned up on "Fleetwood Mac".

I like the Buckingham Nicks album too. Thumbs Up
Thumbs Up

Nice cover as well Wink although I was called a perv when I took it into school once.
I only just realised Stevie Nicks is topless on the cover of the Buckingham Nicks album, although she's probably wearing knickers. Embarrassed
