Worked out pretty well …
They offered the gig to Lindsey Buckingham alone, but he said it’s both of us or neither.
These two radically transformed the band and the first two albums by the new group sold many tens of millions of copies.
The first song on the “Fleetwood Mac” album from 1975 … an unmistakable Lindsey Buckingham tune.
A completely different and more commercial sound for them, although the prior versions of the band were quite good too.
They brought “Monday Morning” plus “Landslide” and “Rhiannon” (both written by Stevie Nicks) with them to the new Fleetwood Mac (originally planned for a second Buckingham-Nicks album).
“Rumours” of course would go on to make them mega-stars, and spawn many Top 10 singles, even though making the album caused several breakups and affairs within the band, leading to great songs like “Go Your Own Way” and “You Make Loving Fun” and “I Don’t Want to Know”.
