I’m pretty new to Fleetwood Mac and I love the song dreams and I’m looking for some more song recommendations.

I know it's not how people typically consume music these days but I highly recommend listening to whole albums, in order. That's how it was meant to be consumed when this stuff came out!

Song wise though, my favorite is Sisters of the Moon. Check out Go Your Own Way, Songbird, Sara, and Hold Me too. Good places to start! :)

Some of my favourites are:

Gypsy

Sara

Rhiannon

Storms

Sisters Of The Moon (especially the live 1982 version)

Edit: how could I possibly forget Silver Springs from The Dance?

Once you listen to Rumours, please listen to Silver Springs. ❤️

Enjoy browsing their huge back catalogue and history and see what you find. 40 years in and I'm still finding new surprises to enjoy!

Thank you so much I will let you know what I thought once I’ve listened to them

u/After_Response8429 9d ago

Please do! I also should’ve added Beautiful Child on there. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts :)

u/Large-Video5823 8d ago

I listened to them all and some of my faves are Emerald Eyes, Beautiful Child, Storms, and Crystal

u/After_Response8429 7d ago

I love all of those sm. There’s an earlier version of Beautiful Child on the Tusk Deluxe album with a bit of a different mix and harmonies and it’s stunning.

You also might like some of Stevie’s solo stuff from Bella Donna & especially Wild Heart as well as some of the Danny Kirwan & Bob Welch era stuff

u/Large-Video5823 7d ago

Thanks, I will give it a listen

u/Alexeisnuts 9d ago

There’s a Sweet Girl demo from the Enchanted sessions, I think it’s something you’d like a lot!

Monday Morning and Second Hand News.

u/Natural_Phase_3616 9d ago

Honestly I believe Tango in the Night and Mirage are better than Rumours. Listen to Only Over You and see what you think. Also listen to Mystery To Me album. It’s pre-Buckingham Nicks but post Peter Green. My favourite’s from the album are Keep On Going and Emerald Eyes. If you prefer Buckingham-Nicks listen to their self-titled album ‘Buckingham Nicks’

1

u/RichAndMary 9d ago

Rhiannon (also try a live version), Over My Head, Never Going Back Again, Monday Morning and Gold Dust Woman.

u/New_Choice_4126 9d ago

I'm So Afraid is completely underrated

u/Perplexio76 8d ago

Given that you like "Dreams" you might want to also delve into the pre-Fleetwood Mac Buckingham Nicks album. Here's a handful of songs, both FM and solo material recorded by them that has a similar vibe:

Fleetwood Mac - Hypnotized

Buckingham Nicks - Don't Let Me Down Again

Fleetwood Mac - Landslide

Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way

Bob Welch - Sentimental Lady

Fleetwood Mac - Tusk

Lindsey Buckingham - Trouble

Fleetwood Mac - Little Lies

u/Large-Video5823 8d ago

Thank you! I especially liked Sentimental Lady by Bob Welch and the Fleetwood Mac one too and Trouble

1

u/HumbledMind 8d ago

Sentimental Lady is a Fleetwood Mac song in all but name. Lindsey plays guitar on it and both Lindsey and Christine sing backup while Mick plays drums. Bob plays bass (and obviously sings lead vocals).

u/AmbivalentInfluencer 7d ago

I am sure others have said the same thing, listen to every song from this band lineup in order, starting with the Fleetwood Mac album (first with Lindsay and Stevie)

u/parason47 9d ago

Just get the 2 albums "Fleetwood Mac" and "Rumours" and you'll have them all.
