Album Description:
UK 17 track edition of this compilation highlighting the hugely successful '70s and '80s period of the band. The tracks have a different running order than the U.S. version and the song 'Over My Head' has been replaced by 'Seven Wonders' and 'Oh Diane' for this import pressing. .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 "You Make Lovin' Fun" 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". This is an excellent primer for anyone unfamiliar with one of the most successful pop bands of a generation. WEA.

These are the greatest hits of the version of Big Mac that produced Hits with a capital H! While pre-Stevie Nicks-Lindsey Buckingham versions of the group charted in the U.K. five times between 1968 and 1973, the post-blues-rock edition of the band reached unprecedented commercial heights beginning with "Rhiannon," a No. 5 smash in the spring of 1976. It's on this 16-track solid-gold set, along with the rest of the hits up through 1988's "Everywhere." A long version of "Sara" and some bonus tracks are included for extra value. --Steven Stolder

Fleetwood Mac was one of the most popular bands of all times and this Greatest Hits shows why. Putting it on bought back all of the memories on first hearing the songs. "You Can Go Your Own Way", "Rhiannon" and others you will start humming or singing with right away. Though I was not a big fan when I first heard "Tusk" it is better than I remember and an interesting song. Very good album.

Glancing through the 100 reviews (so far) on this item, it's obvious that those who are devoted fans of Fleetwood Mac are ready to accept anything sent their way without questioning the title of the album, and hence assign 5 stars, while some others tend to be a little too critical. The only 1-star review was given that assessment because the customer got the wrong CD in the mail! Sort of defeats the purpose of the system wouldn't you say?
Another assigns 2, lamenting the lack of their "hits and great songs from 1967-1974" while another claims that "the only good song is Tusk ... the rest of it is fluff." I tend to agree with most that give it 3 stars and for much the same reasons. First of all, the two pages of liner notes, written in 1988 by Stephen Davis, are rather "lame" - as one reviewer accurately puts it - focusing not on the "greatest hits" aspect of their career but rather on the goings-on at a 1988 concert a Wembley Stadium in London!
As for the contents, to be fair they did do a somewhat decent job of covering their "greatest hits" if you keep in mind that, to most out there, a "hit" denotes the Billboard Pop Hot 100 singles that got them heard on radio/TV, in juke boxes, and sold as 45 rpm singles at record shops (or perhaps those that made the Adult Contemporary (AC), R&B, and Country charts, depending upon the genre and artist). And since their first big such hit didn't come until late 1975's Over My Head (# 20 Hot 100/# 32 AC), I'd say ... Read More

If I had to take 1 album with me onto a deserted island, it would be this. It is a great compilation of Fleetwood's best.

Greatest in the case of "Fleetwood Mac: Greatest Hits" actually epitomizes what a greatest hits album should be all about: ALL hits, no add-ons. This particular CD is thoroughly enjoyable and definitely a must for enthusiasts of true music who, like me, did not purchase their albums when the group was in its prime many years ago. For me, I became a Fleetwood Mac fan after hearing Nikki McKibbin attempt to sing a Stevie Nicks song, Edge of Seventeen, on American Idol a couple of years ago. Nicks was an essential member of Fleetwood Mac and has produced some memorable songs as a solo artist. However, it is Fleetwood Mac - collectively - that has recorded some of the best sounding music ever!!
