Fleetwood Mac/YMMV


 * Awesome Music:
 * Rumours. Created by five people who had no sane reason to be in the same room with each other, writing lyrics about the break-ups and emotional trauma within the band itself. They crafted one of the best-selling and popular albums - filled with some of the bitterest out-of-love and beautiful falling-in-love songs - of all time.
 * Many to choose from but "Rhiannon" and "Go Your Own Way" stand out.
 * Broken Base: Between the fans of the Peter Green/Jeremy Spencer-era blues band and those of the Lindsay Buckingham/Stevie Nicks-era pop band.
 * Covered Up: "Black Magic Woman" (Santana's cover is arguably better-known than the Mac's original) and "The Green Manalishi (With the Two-Pronged Crown)". "Rhiannon" and "Landslide" have also been covered by various artists, but not as famously.
 * Santana's "Black Magic Woman" has almost certainly Covered Up the original in the US; the Mac version was more popular in the UK though, so it is more arguable there.
 * A lot the younger generation (those born in the 90's) seem to think Landslide is a Dixie Chick's song.
 * Crazy Awesome: Mick Fleetwood. He seems sane and coherent enough in interviews, but just watch any live performance for long enough, and there you have it. The man is a beast, and you can only love him for it.
 * Dork Age: 1970-1975 and 1987-1997.
 * Ear Worm: Well I'm afraid of changing, 'cause I've built my life around you...
 * Don't... Stop... Thinking about to tomorrow!!!!
 * You can go your own way!!!!!
 * Thunder only happens when it's rainin', players only love you when they're playin'
 * Ending Fatigue: The second part of "Oh Well".
 * Face of the Band: Peter Green from the original blues lineup. Steve Nicks is the best-known member from their most successful pop/rock era. Mick Fleetwood is also one, simply because his height makes him easy to notice.
 * Protection From Editors: Tusk. Fans, critics and the band themselves consider it one of their best, however, which shows that Tropes Are Not Bad.
 * Sequel Displacement: OK, which incarnation do you remember best: Peter Green, The Ones With the lineup chaos, or Nicks + Buckingham?
 * Tear Jerker: "Landslide".
 * "Songbird".
 * What an Idiot!: Playing Tusk in its entirety on radio the day before its release? Clever move, Warner Bros. We hope the executive who came up with this simply brilliant idea received swift promotion.
 * Although decades later, with the advent of digital media to store and play music, radio stations began to actually do this occasionally with album releases. So that executive may be Vindicated by History, making the Tusk incident Hilarious in Hindsight.
