However, the recipe for success seemed to be the chopping and changing of personnel throughout their career with each new cog in the machine bringing new and unique types of dynamics to the group. It would be criminally understating it to say that the band was a success during its infancy. From those results, Rolling Stone created this new list of the greatest albums of all time. They soon went to work and eventually conceived a little project named Fleetwood Mac. In 2009, we asked a similar group of 100 experts to pick the best albums of the 2000s.

Generations later, the songs on Fleetwood Macs 'Rumours' remain nearly as omnipresent on radio and in popular culture as they were in the Carter era.

Fleetwood Mac's second album after the incorporation of Nicks and Buckingham, 1977's Rumours, produced four U.S. There was just one missing piece of the puzzle, a bass guitarist. Fleetwood Mac‘s 1975 self-titled release was not a debut album but with new members and a new musical direction, it could just as well have been. He instead spread the word of a little project that he, Mick Fleetwood and another few fellas were conspiring to create. As a piece of pop art, it's peerless.As Peter reeled in his misery he refused to fold. Of course, that's why it bombed upon its original release, but Tusk is a bracing, weirdly affecting work that may not be as universal or immediate as Rumours, but is every bit as classic. This is mainstream madness, crazier than Buckingham's idol Brian Wilson and weirder than any number of cult classics.
While McVie and Nicks contribute some excellent songs, Buckingham owns this record with his nervous energy and obsessive production, winding up with a fussily detailed yet wildly messy record unlike any other. This is the ultimate cocaine album - it's mellow for long stretches, and then bursts wide open in manic, frantic explosions, such as the mounting tension on "The Ledge" or the rampaging "That's Enough for Me," or the marching band-driven paranoia of the title track, all of which are relieved by smooth, reflective work from all three songwriters.

Top 10 singles (including Nicks song 'Dreams', which was the bands first and only U.S. At the time of its release, it was a flop, never reaching the top of the charts and never spawning a true hit single, despite two well-received Top Ten hits. Fleetwood Macs second album after the incorporation of Nicks and Buckingham, 1977s Rumours, produced four U.S. But if they were falling apart during the making of Rumours, they were officially broken and shattered during the making of Tusk, and that disconnect between bandmembers resulted in a sprawling, incoherent, and utterly brilliant 20-track double album. More than any other Fleetwood Mac album, Tusk is born of a particular time and place - it could only have been created in the aftermath of Rumours, which shattered sales records, which in turn gave the group a blank check for its next album.
