Best Fleetwood Mac Songs

Which Fleetwood Mac songs are considered the best from all of their other songs is going to be subjective. What I did however, was see which Fleetwood Mac videos were getting the most views and went from there.

I grew up listening to Fleetwood Mac and enjoyed every song they ever did. Fleetwood Mac derives it's band name from a combination of the last names of drummer Mick Fleetwood and bass player John McVie. Later Christine Anne Perfect, who would become Christine McVie after marrying John McVie, would join the band in 1970. By 1975 Fleetwood Mac would also be joined by Lindsey Buckingham (guitar) and Stevie Nicks (vocals) and complete the band as we know them.

Fleetwood Mac's - Go Your Own Way

I love how the guitar part starts out on Go Your Own Way. It is very similar to the beginning of Pat Benatar's song called "we belong" that was done later. Techniques and effects give it a sound like something is almost bouncing off the guitar strings. Go Your Own Way is a song that was written by Lindsey Buckingham. Go Your Own Way was on their Rumours album which was released in 1976.

Fleetwood Mac's - Dreams

Dreams was a song written by Stevie Nicks and was from their 1977 album called Rumours, as well. It's a slow but haunting song, sung by Stevie Nicks. Stevie Nicks is one of my all time favorite female vocalists and I really loved it when she did duets with Tom Petty. One of my all time favorite songs is: Insider with Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks. Stevie Nicks has her own website called The Nicks Fix, so check that out and also listen to the song by her and Tom Petty called Insider if you ever get a chance.

Fleetwood Mac's - Rhiannon

Everyone loves the song Rhiannon, or at least they should! It's a beautiful song with a beautiful melody and lyrics. Rhiannon was a song that was written by Stevie Nicks and was first released on their 1975 titled simply Fleetwood Mac. Here is an excerpt of some of the great lyrics from Rhiannon.

All your life you've never seen a woman...taken by the wind....would you stay if she promised you Heaven?

Fleetwood Mac's - Don't Stop

Don't Stop was a great song by Fleetwood Mac that was made possibly even more famous as a political campaign theme song in the past. Don't Stop was a song from their 1977 album, Rumours, also.


Fleetwood Mac's - Landslide

Landslide was a song written by Stevie Nicks for Fleetwood Mac. Landslide was released in 1975 on their album that was self titled Fleetwood Mac. Here is an excerpt of some of the great lyrics from Landslide, one of the sweetest songs ever written.

...oh, mirror in the sky, what is love...Can the child within my heart rise above...


I hope that you enjoyed taking a closer look at some of Fleetwood Mac's excellent songs as much as I did!

I really love the songs you included here. Especially 'Go Your Own Way'. The guitar intro and the lyrics are moving. One song that I also think belongs on this list is 'Never Going Back Again'. It has a bouncy rhythm that remains for the entire song in such a good vibrant way.

The best Fleetwood Mac songs were recorded before Buckingham and Nicks joined the group. Listen to the Kiln House LP, for example.

My favorite Fleetwood Mac songs aren't on this list: "Songbird," Christine McVie's gorgeous ballad performed solo on "Rumours," and the original version of "Sentimental Lady" off "Bare Trees," where Bob Welch performed it so much better than his "big hit" solo version years later.

Thanks for the hub!

I wanted to add, that one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs (which might surprise some people) is "As long as you follow." I absolutely love that song, it is very pretty and cool, and makes me think of happy and carefree times. I like your list here too, so many great songs.
