Fleetwood Mac

17 studio albums with 194 original songs. 4 other albums with 12 original songs. 14 other songs. 220 original songs in total, more than The Beatles. Two British musicians have been with the group since its founding: drummer Mike FLEETWOOD (4 songs) and bass player John MAC Vie (4 songs). And seven major singers/songwriters, four British and three American, have been coming and going and returning over the years. The first two were British blues singers, Peter Green (21 songs) and Jeremy Spencer (10 songs). Together, they made the first two albums, "Fleetwood Mac" and "Mr Wonderful". Green also worked on the third album, "Then Play On", and Spencer on the fourth, "Kiln House". Then came Danny Kirwan (19 songs), another Brit, who left a huge imprint on the band from 1969 to 1972, working very hard on three albums, "Then Play On", "Kiln House" and "Future Games", and then a little less hard on "Bare Trees". Even before firing him, Fleetwood Mac promoted another Brit (and first woman) Christine McVie (49 songs) to lead singer/songwriter and welcomed its first (but not last) American member, Bob Welch (23 songs). Christine McVie and Bob Welch worked together on five albums, "Future Games", "Bare Trees", "Penguin", "Mystery To Me" and "Heroes Are Hard To Find", from 1971 to 1974. Then Bob Welch left, but Christine McVie stayed, and she was joined by Stevie Nicks (35 songs) and Lindsey Buckingham (39 songs), both Americans. All three, they inaugurated the band's greatest era (1975-1987) that completely redefined Fleetwood Mac's style and substance through five outstanding albums: "Fleetwood Mac", "Rumours" (their commercial zenith), "Tusk" (their artistic zenith), "Mirage" and "Tango In The Dark". Buckingham left the band in 1987 and Stevie Nicks soon after in 1991, but they both came back in 1997. And not a minute too soon, because Christine McVie (who had to carry on without Buckingham on 1990's "Behind The Mask" and then without both on 1995's "Time") left in 1998 (though later she returned from 2014 until her death in 2022), the hardest (and longest) working singer/songwriter in the band's history.  Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks collaborated on the band's last studio album, "Say You Will", in 2003, and released their last songs in 2013, before Buckingham's departure (to put it diplomatically) in 2018. Stevie Nicks is still with Fleetwood Mac in 2023. Besides these seven singers/songwriters, Fleetwood Mac has also welcomed the contributions of Dave Walker (1 song), Bob Weston (1 song), Billy Burnette (6 songs), Rick Vito (3 songs), Dave Mason (2 songs), and Bekka Bramlett (2 songs). 


1968 Fleetwood Mac (8 original songs)

Fleetwood Mac's first album. One of the best blues music albums ever made. Peter Green's "I Loved Another Woman" is the best number. He has also written "Long Grey Mare", "Looking For Somebody", "Merry Go Round" and "The World Keep On Turning". Jeremy Spencer has contributed three fine songs: "My Heart Beat Like a Hammer", "My Baby's Good To Me" and "Cold Black Night". There are also four songs not written by Fleetwood Mac's artists. Two great numbers come from Elmore James: an effervescent "Shake Your Moneymaker" and a soulful "Got To Move". There is also Robert Johnson with "Hellhound On My Trail" and Chester Burnett with an excellent "No Place To Go".

1968 Mr Wonderful (9 original songs)

All blues all the time. Even though it has been quite criticized when first released, "Mr Wonderful" is almost as good as Fleetwood Mac's debut album. There are two terrific Elmore James numbers, "Dust My Broom" and "Coming Home", as well as excellent "Doctor Brown" (from J. T. Brown and W. Glasco), although for some reason they all begin with an identical riff. And the original songs are just as impressive. Jeremy Spencer's "Need Your Love Tonight" (which also opens with that Elmore James riff) is probably the best, followed closely by his "Evenin' Boogie". Only his "I've Lost My Baby" is a bit disappointing. Peter Green contributes "Stop Messin' Round", "Rollin' Man", "Love That Burns", "If You Be My Baby" and "Lazy Poker Blues", all very impressive, as well as a sluggish "Trying So Hard To Forget". 

1969 Then Play On (14)

The first Fleetwood Mac album to feature Danny Kirwan, as well as the last with Peter Green. As such, it marks the first step in the band's evolution from blues music to soft rock. Mick Fleetwood and John McVie contribute a pair of experimental instrumental compositions, shorter "Fighting For Madge" and longer "Searching For Madge", respectively. There are also two other instrumental numbers: Green's nice "Underway" and Kirwan's relaxing "My Dream". Peter Green's swan songs for the band include: unsettling "Rattlesnake Shake", enigmatic "Before the Beginning", perplexing "Closing My Eyes" and uneven "Show Biz Blues". Danny Kirwan contributes six songs: haunting "Without You" (probably the album's best tune), lovely "Although The Sun Is Shining", innovative "Coming Your Way", surprising "When You Say", erratic "One Sunny Day" and weak "Like Crying".


1970 Kiln House (7 original songs)

Jeremy Spencer hasn't written any songs for the previous "Then Play On" album, but he is back for this one, along with Danny Kirwan. "Kiln House" has a distinctively retro feel and it includes three old songs, "Mission Bell", "Buddy's Song" and "Hi Ho Silver" (better known as "Honey Hush"). And their "golden oldie" feel is also very evident in three new songs written by Spencer: wonderful "One Together" (definitely the album's best tune), pleasant "This Is The Rock" and melodious "Blood On The Floor". Jeremy Spencer has also co-written "Station Man" with Danny Kirwan and John McVie. And Kirwan has co-written the sublime "Jewel Eyed Judy" with John McVie and Mick Fleetwood. Fine "Tell Me All the Things You Do" and innovative "Earl Gray" are Kirwan's solo writing credits.  


1971 Future Games (8)

This album marks a milestone in the evolution of Fleetwood Mac. With the departure of Jeremy Spencer and the arrival of Bob Welch, the blues music is out for good and the pop rock is in. And even more importantly, Christine McVie arrives with two songs, putting a distinctively feminine touch to a band where all previous vocalists (and songwriters) were exclusively male. Nonetheless, of her two songs, only "Show Me A Smile" offers a certain hint of the musical glories to come, while "Morning Rain" is a bit disappointing. But Bob Walsh's two songs are both excellent, especially "Future Games" (definitely album's best, even if a bit overlong), but also "Lay It All Down". Danny Kirwan contributes three fine tunes: "Sands Of Time", "Woman Of 1000 Years" and "Sometimes". The album's sole instrumental track, "What a Shame", is credited to all five members of the band.


1972 Bare Trees (10)

Christine McVie's two magnificent songs, "Spare Me A Little Of Your Love" and "Homeward Bound" mark the birth of the new Fleetwood Mac musical style, both unique and inimitable. Equally impressive are Bob Welch's two songs: "Sentimental Lady" (arguably the album's high point) and "The Ghost". But less impressive are the five songs by Danny Kirwan (who would soon be fired from Fleetwood Mac during this album's supporting tour): "Child of Mine", "Sunny Side of Heaven", "Bare Trees", "Danny's Chant" and "Dust".

The album also includes a truly bizarre track, "Thoughts On A Grey Day" by a certain Mrs Scarrott who reads her poem about love and trees. Only Fleetwood Mac would ever pull a stunt like that.


1973 Penguin (8 original songs)

To replace Danny Kirwan, the group has hired Dave Walker and Bob Weston, but their contributions to the Penguin album are quite meagre and unimpressive. Weston offers "Caught in the Rain", a rather unexceptional instrumental number. And Walker contributes one country western song, "The Derelict". It isn't bad at all, but it doesn't really fit with the emerging musical style of Fleetwood Mac, which is best exemplified by the songs of Christine McVie ("Remember Me", "Dissatisfied" and "Did You Ever Love Me") and Bob Welch ("Revelation", "Night Watch" and "Bright Fire"). The best song: "Remember Me".


1973 Mystery To Me (11 original songs)

This is basically a Christine McVie-Bob Welch album. Together, they contribute all of its 11 original songs. And it's Bob Welch's finest hour, with four masterful compositions, "Emerald Eyes" (the album's best), "Hypnotized", "Keep On Going" and "Forever". Two of Christine McVie's songs, "Why" and "Just Crazy Love" are quite interesting too. The rest is quite forgettable: Welch's "Somebody", "Miles Away" and "The City", as well as Christine McVie's "Believe Me" and "The Way I Feel". There is also a cover of an old song, "For Your Love".


1974 Heroes Are Hard To Find (11)

The last of the "old" Fleetwood Mac, before the dawn of the new era of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. It's another All-Christine-And-All-Bob-Welch album, but this time it's Christine McVie who offers the finest songs: "Come A Little Bit Closer" (the album's best), "Prove Your Love" and "Bad Loser", as well as a slightly less impressive "Heroes Are Hard to Find". Bob Welch isn't up to his usual excellence here, however, except for "Coming Home". Neither "Angel" nor "Bermuda Triangle" nor "Safe Harbour" make much of an impact, despite some innovative touches. And "She's Changing Me", "Silver Heels" and "Born Enchanter" are downright mediocre.

1975 Fleetwood Mac (11)

This was the first Fleetwood Mac album with Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, after Bob Welch departed the band in late 1974. Along with Christine McVie, they wrote almost all of the album's songs. The best is without the doubt Stevie Nicks' sublime "Rhiannon", with Christine McVie's outstanding "Warm Ways" a very close second. Nicks also contributed "Landslide" and "Crystal", while Christine McVie also wrote "Say You Love Me", "Over My Head" and "Sugar Daddy". Buckingham wrote "Monday Morning" and "I'M So Afraid". "World Turning" was co-written by Christine McVie and Lindsey Buckingham. One song on the album, "Blue Letter", was written by Michael and Richard Curtis.


1977 Rumours (11)

Fleetwood Mac's most popular album with four of their most famous songs: Stevie Nicks' "Dreams", Lindsey Buckingham's "Go Your Own Way", Christine McVie's "Don't Stop", as well as "The Chain" (co-written by all five of the band members at the time: Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham). Nicks also wrote "Gold Dust Woman" and "I Don't Want To Know", while Christine McVie also contributed "You Make Loving Fun", "Oh Daddy" and "Songbird". Buckingham also wrote "Second Hand News" and "Never Going Back Again".


1979 Tusk (20)

Fleetwood Mac's most original album. It's not for everybody's taste, though. It has two best songs that the group has ever made, "Save Me A Place" and "Walk A Thin Line" (both written by Lindsey Buckingham), but which are also among the least known of Fleetwood Mac's tunes, two obscure gems that are yet to be discovered even by the group's most devoted fans. Buckingham has also written seven other songs, including a highly experimental "Tusk", two punk-inspired numbers "What Makes You Think You're The One" and "The Ledge", as well as a soulful ballad "That's All For Everyone", a fast-paced peculiarity "That's Enough For Me", a bizarre Cajun-style oddity "Not That Funny" and a perky bit of eccentricity "I Know I'M Not Wrong".

Stevie Nicks' five contributions to the albums are far less innovative than Buckingham's, but they include its most popular hit, "Sara", as well as a pleasant "Angel", two moving ballads "Storms" and "Beautiful Child", and a strangely intoxicating "Sisters Of The Moon".

Christine McVie has written cute "Honey Hi", melodious "Never Forget", meditative "Over & Over", sweet "Think About Me", heartfelt "Never Make Me Cry" and a little blues tune, "Brown Eyes". Those pleasant songs provide a welcome contrast to Buckingham's weird innovations. 


1980 Live (2 original songs)

This album mostly consists of their old songs, but it also has 2 new tunes: Christine McVie's "One More Night" and Stevie Nicks' "Fireflies". It also includes a new version of Brian Wilson's "The Farmer's Daughter".


1982 Mirage (12)

Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie have each contributed one classic tune to this fine album: "Gypsy", "Oh Diane" and "Hold Me", respectively. Additionally, Nicks has also written "That's Alright" and "Straight Back". Buckingham also contributes "Eyes Of The World", "Book Of Love", "Empire State" and "Can't Go Back". And Christine McVie has also written "Only Over You", "Wish You Were Here" and "Love In Store".


1987 Tango In The Night (12)

This album, one of Fleetwood Mac's best, marks Christine McVie's finest hour with two outstanding hits, "Little Lies" and "Everywhere". And while Stevie Nicks' "Seven Wonders" is certainly a very close third, her two other contributions, "Welcome To The Room Sara" and especially "When I See You Again", are highly forgettable. Whereas Christine McVie's other three songs, co-written with Lindsey Buckingham, are all very impressive, particularly "Isn't It Midnight" (memorably described as "a confection of booming drums, precise, tinkly synth and wailing guitar solos that sounds as if it’s just waiting to appear in the background of a film starring Ally Sheedy"), but also an odd ballad "Mystified" and even a quirky "You And I Part II". And as for Buckingham, he also contributes four other songs: daringly experimental "Tango In The Night", memorable "Big Love" (described as "a perfect blend of rock experimentation and pure pop sensibility" and a favourite of the Ibiza musical scene),  throbbingly eccentric "Family Man" and disappointing "Caroline".


1988 Greatest Hits (2 original songs)

As its title indicates, it's mostly a collection of Fleetwood Mac's previous hits, but it also includes 2 new songs: Christine McVie's sublime ballad "As Long As You Follow" and Stevie Nicks' unexceptional "No Questions Asked".


1990 Behind The Mask (13)

The first album released by Fleetwood Mac after the departure of Lindsey Buckingham, replaced by Billy Burnette and Rick Vito. Burnette has written (or co-written) a daringly experimental "In The Back Of My Mind" (probably the album's best song), a pulsating "When The Sun Goes Down" (with Vito), a pleasant "When It Comes To Love", a tuneful "Do You Know" (with Christine McVie), and an eccentric "Hard Feelings". Christine McVie's excellent solo contributions range from an innovative and upbeat "Skies The Limit" to a more conventional, but still upbeat "Save Me" to a haunting "Behind The Mask". Vito has also contributed a rather mediocre "Stand On The Rock" and two very forgettable songs co-written with Stevie Nicks: "Love Is Dangerous" and "The Second Time". However, Nicks has also contributed two very fine songs alone: "Affairs Of The Heart" and "Freedom". 


1995 Time (12 original songs)

Fleetwood Mac's first album without Stevie Nicks in 20 years. But fortunately, Christine McVie is still there after more than 25 years, contributing 5 terrific songs: "Nights In Estoril", "Hollywood Some Other Kind Of Town", "Sooner Or Later", "I Do" and "All Over Again". Two songs, sublime "I Wonder Why" and excellent "Blow By Blow" have been written by Dave Mason. Mick Fleetwood contributes an impressive (and impressively long) experimental piece, "These Strange Times" (definitely the album's most original track). And Billy Burnette offers fine "Talkin' To My Heart" and average "I Got It In For You", as well as ordinary "Dreamin' the Dream", co-written with Bekka Bramlett, who also contributes a solo effort, mediocre "Nothing Without You". "Winds Of Change" is this album's cover song.


1997 The Dance (4)

Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham are back with Fleetwood Mac for this live compilation album, which also has 4 brand new songs. Buckingham contributes weird "My Little Demon" and excellent "Bleed To Love Her" (the album's best new song). The other two are Christine McVie's "Temporary One" (her last song for Fleetwood Mac) and Nicks' "Sweet Girl".


2003 Say You Will (17)

A glorious album, one of Fleetwood Mac's best, without Christine McVie, but with Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks in top form. Every single song hits its mark. Buckingham offers magnificent "Peacekeeper" (the album's best tune), impressive "What's The World Coming To?", excellent "Steal Your Heart Away", eccentric "Say Goodbye", experimental "Red Rover", gloriously chaotic "Come", political "Murrow Turning Over In His Grave" and fine "Miranda". Stevie Nicks contributes catchy "Say You Will", excellent "Destiny Rules", memorable "Thrown Down", weird "Everybody Finds Out", energetic "Running Through The Garden", meditative "Silver Girl", esoteric "Smile At You", innovative "Illume 9-11" and melancholic "Goodbye Baby". Pure bliss. Besides all these original songs, the album also includes a studio recording of "Bleed To Love Her", a song whose live version was first released on "The Dance" (1997).


2013 Extended Play (4)

Four new songs, three from Lindsey Buckingham ("Miss Fantasy", "Sad Angel" and "It Takes Time") and one from Stevie Nicks ("Without You"). They are all good, but "Miss Fantasy" is definitely the best.


Other songs (14)

In 1968, Fleetwood Mac has released "Albatross" and "Black Magic Woman" (both by Peter Green). 

1969 is the year of "Somebody's Gonna Get Their Head Kicked In Tonite" (Jeremy Spencer), as well as "Man Of The World" and "Oh Well" (Peter Green).

Peter Green's "The Green Manalishi" is released in 1970.

In 1971, "Dragonfly" (written by Danny Kirwan) and "The Purple Dancer" (co-written by Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and Danny Kirwan) are released as singles. That same year Bob Welch records "Stone".

Danny Kirwan records "Trinity" in 1972 and Bob Welch records "Good Things Come to Those Who Wait" in 1973.

In 1977, Stevie Nicks records "Silver Springs", which isn't included in "Rumours".

In 1992, Stevie Nicks releases "Paper Doll" and Christine McVie releases "Love Shines".
