So much has been written about this album it’s sometimes hard to know where to start. I’m not going to go into the drug use and relationship breakdowns which have all be documented to death. Not that easy to do as this obviously shaped the album but I’ll give it a good
I was, and will always be, a Peter Green FM obsessive but this is the album that turned me onto the Buckingham / Nicks incarnation of the band. Obviously, Peter was blues and this most definitely isn’t, it’s more pop rock / soft rock (pop) than anything else but it is one of the greatest pop albums of all time.
The album is a pop behemoth and, rather like Tango In The Night, is an album filled with pop classics and undeniable quality playing and performances by a band at its peak. Its four singles, "Go Your Own Way", "Dreams", "Don't Stop", and "You Make Loving Fun", all reached the top 10 of the US Billboard Hot 100, with "Dreams" reaching number one.
I also think that they never bettered the harmonies achieved on this album on so many great tracks. Despite their problems, the vocals between Buckingham and Nicks are great and, as always, the criminally underrated Christine McVie worked her magic on so many great tracks
Just to finish, I wanted to mention the production on this album which is spot on and the musical arrangements. Pretty much everything came together to create a killer of an album. It is without doubt one of the greatest pop albums of all time. [First added to this chart: 06/17/2012]

1977 is one of my favorite years in rock and somehow I didn’t get to an album I own until #13. Weird I think but this is still a good list! Nice job!
