Welcome to another in the Legends of Rock & Roll series.
The Legends of Rock & Roll series is about the music we have listened to over the past fifty years. This is a mini-biography of the band Fleetwood Mac, but even more importantly, it's about the music that they created; the songs that built a generation.
Fleetwood Mac is one of the greatest American Bands of the Twentieth Century. It's ironic that three of the five members are British. The band started out as a blues band organized by an Englishman named Peter Green. With the addition of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie, among others, Fleetwood Mac was born.
The band didn't hit super-stardom until they added two Americans, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. In 1977, they released an album, Rumours, that would become the biggest seller of its day and is still one of the biggest selling albums of all time. Fleetwood Mac, as well as each of its members would become icons of American rock and roll. I call them legends.
If you love the music, if you love Fleetwood Mac or would just like to know more about their rise to fame and the music that they produced. If you would like to know some of the inside secrets of how certain songs came to be and what they really mean, then scroll up and buy, "Legends of Rock & Roll - Fleetwood Mac" now.
This is the story of the band and it is the story of each of the members and how they came to be Fleetwood Mac.
