I went with 3. The stuff of their’s I love, I really really love. They made some amazing songs and they’re hard wired into my childhood, particularly Rumours and Tango in the Night. Tusk was a later love and β€˜Sara’ is still an all-time favourite of mine.

But they have made an awful lot of shit too, so if I’m trying to be fair and balanced, that drags the score down. 3.5 rounding down to 3.

I grew up listening to them as my mum was a fanπŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

The Best Stevie Nicks song is β€˜Stand Back’ which was inspired by The Prince song β€˜Little Red Corvette’ Prince plays synth on the song.

Fleetwood Mac have an incredible back catalogue. The first album I bought on cassette was Tango in the night.
For Rumours and Tango in the night alone it has to be a 4.

I’ve told of this on here before but, in my old student house, we found a copy of the Best of Fleetwood Mac on cassette tape. From then on, we started listening to it every time we did a clean-up of the house. By the end of the year, that tape was totally gnarled and messed up.

In summary, Fleetwood Mac are - to my specific subjective experience - a great lo-fi noise pop band.

Same. Parents music. But then I became a parent and… maybe some kind of hormone kicks in. Same thing happened with Hall and Oates.

Also - no point reading too much into these polls. Pretty sure people just click on the ones they’re arsed about. I think the Beastie Boys one was the only out of the top 10 that I read and voted in.

They’re responsible for my favourite flight of the conchords joke, so definitely 4+
