Stevie's background vocals on 'Little Lies' are simply magical. Stevie Nicks' songs 'Rhiannon', 'Gypsy', 'Dreams', 'Sara' and 'No Questions Asked' are my favs, the other 11 songs are a very close 2nd. However this is still an immaculate 5-star collection in my book. They have so many great songs that this could easily have been a 2-disc set. Almost all of the best ones are here, the ones that I feel are missing are 'Landslide', 'Gold Dust Woman' and 'Second Hand News off of the album "Rumours" and 'Monday Morning' off of the 1975 album "Fleetwood Mac". This is a great, great collection of songs by the legendary group, all from the first 13 years of the Buckingham-Nicks era 1975-88. However, this is really a great intro to Fleetwood Mac- and actually, I found this compilation better represented the B-N era of the band than THE CHAIN box set. The two new songs are pleasent, nothing exceptional- "As Long As You Follow" has a great melody and catchy guitar solo, but the production is a little watered-down in light of the sonic collages from TANGO. You miss out on a lot (I had no concept of TUSK from hearing this album), there are a couple curious omissions (where's "The Chain?"), and a band such as Fleetwood Mac really deserves to have its entire catologue heard (otherwise you'd miss gems like "That's Alright" and "World Turning"), but it is a good CD, and as one guy pointed out, a great party album. You get to hear Fleetwood Mac at their most radio-friendly, without some of the other aspects of each songwriters' talent that might take some time to adjust to (Stevie's six-minute cosmic rants, Lindsey's insanity). And if you're new to FM, or only know their Rumours stuff (as was my case), this really is a good start. Contains the whole gamut of hits, "Rhiannon," "Go Your Own Way," "Little Lies," yada yada yada. As such, it was a wonderful introduction to the realm of the band, at least its Buckingham-Nicks lineup (without a doubt their most successful period, and arguably their greatest creatively). This was the first Fleetwood Mac album I bought, some years ago. Bonus tracks on this release include a long version of the Stevie Nicks hit, "Sara." Customers Rating : GREATEST HITS includes songs such as the Stevie Nicks classics "Rhiannon," "Dreams," and "Gypsy," as well as a number of standout tracks by pianist Christine McVie, including "Over My Head" and "Say You Love Me."Additionally, guitarist and songwriter Lindsey Buckingham, who, like Nicks, enjoyed a solo career in addition to putting in time with Fleetwood Mac, is also represented here with excellent songs, including "Go Your Own Way" and "Tusk." GREATEST HITS is an excellent primer for anyone unfamiliar with one of the most successful pop bands of a generation. Description : GREATEST HITS contains tracks released between 19.Fleetwood Mac includes: Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, Linsday Buckingham, Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Billy Burnette.This 16-song collection includes a number of chart-topping Fleetwood Mac releases, most of them selected from their remarkable, decade-plus long run of hits spanning the mid 1970s through the 1980s.
