I like the line up with Christine, Stevie, and Lindsey........adding the female vocals really added dimension to the group. This doesn't mean I dont like their prior works, it just means I like this line up more. They became very popular during this period (1975-1987), but the band was always plagued with frequent personnel changes.

The only Fleetwood Mac I deign to even acknowledge is the 1967-1970 lineup.

I don't know why, but the girls just seem to go with the band!

Tough call but I vote for the later version. It is more balanced.

second line up.. not contest for me, Peter Green's line up is cool I guess, but there is nothing like Nicks lineup

Personally I prefer the era when they were doing albums like Rumors. I only have Rumors myself (which I got when DVD Audio was alive and Kicking) and nearly the whole album is wonderful apart from "Don't Stop" which is a borderline case of songs you get sick of for me!

ha, I love don't stop, but I overplayed it as well, Rumours is probably one of my like all time favorite albums, its a tough list to make, and a very large list, that I'm much to lazy to physically make a list, but Rumors would be on it

Yeah I don't know - personally when I listen to Rumors which isn't very often I might add, nearly the whole album has a sense of class about it and to me "Don't Stop" seems like a tune which was written in 30 minutes and it just goes it own way - they should have just put Rhiannon on it instead again!

hahaha, yes, that song is much much simpler than the rest, I think its good for it though, just kind of a feelgood, just go to it stripped down rock n roll song
and was the bolded part on purpose?

I've also been fond of "Little Lies" when it comes to songs which weren't on Rumors!

Juding my the Video that's one of their early 80s numbers!

According to the YouTube site which had "Little Lies" on it, that song came out in 1987 and was on their "Tango in the Night" album which was the last album they did with Lindsay Buckingham. That comes out as strange cause I thought I heard that song in the early 80s - obviously though I'm mistaken.

The first lineup was a hard driving experimental blues band which soon began delving into psychedelia. The 1975-1982 lineup delivered middle of the road pop which was just pablum by comparison.
