Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours became one of the biggest selling albums of all time, staying in the charts for years on end on both sides of the Atlantic. Features no fewer than four US top ten singles, the No. 1 Dreams, plus Go Your Own Way, Don’t Stop and You Make Loving Fun. Not bad for a group the critics dismissed as completely washed up only a few years earlier. (US:1 UK:1)

“The songs are so well crafted not to mention the detailed musicianship. Despite the fact that it's a rock album, the songs are so pop oriented that I think anyone should be able to fall madly for it, and likely that's why this is considered by many to be one of the best albums of all time.”

Rumours really just sounds good. The amazing vocals, combined with the fantastic guitar playing and the spectacular rhythm section make some great sounding tunes.”

Rumours remains a formidable album, regardless of whether you are a fan of 70s soft rock or not. It's one of those albums that define the 70s.”

“There's just so much right with it. The entire album is packed with melodies you'll never get out of your head, great guitar work and an array of diverse and wonderful vocalists and songwriters.”

Rumours is an essential pop album driven by absurdly catchy melodies, amazing production, and meaningful lyrics. Everything came together for them on this album.”

“Widely regarded as one of the finest rock albums of all time, it is hard to argue with the status of Rumours as an all-time classic. With so many great songwriters all hitting their peak on this release, there is no shortage of great songs on offer.”

“Fleetwood Mac's Rumours is, in my opinion, one of the finest albums ever recorded. It has enough pop and rock in it to please almost everyone. The album is haunting, thoughtful, and most of all, fun. There isn't a weak song; it is great from beginning to end.”
