Description of The Very Best of Fleetwood Mac:
Spanning 22 years, this double-disc, 36-track compilation chronicles the initially unlikely and ultimately triumphant conflation of a failing, veteran English neo-blues band (Mick Fleetwood and the McVies) with a pair of mercurial American also-rans (the baroque folk-rock genius Lindsey Buckingham and crypto-songbird Stevie Nicks). The creative alchemy was immediate, as 15 epochal tracks ("Dreams," "Say You Love Me," "The Chain," "Don't Stop") from Fleetwood Mac and Rumours here attest. They could have arguably repeated that mega-successful formula for a decade, but chose a more musically expansive tack, represented "Sara," Think About Me" and the other core tracks drawn from the ambitious Tusk. While the band's megahit luster faded as the solo careers of Buckingham and Nicks took flight in the '80s, their power was still apparent in the dusky-bright pop of Christine McVie's "Hold Me" and "Little Lies." Sequenced with compelling listening rather than chronology in mind, this set also includes the strongest of the Mac's latter-day recordings (Nicks's "Paper Doll," "Silver Springs," and "No Questions Asked"; McVie's "As Long As You Follow"), as well the Lindsey Buckingham showcases "Go Insane" and "Big Love" from '97's The Dance. --Jerry McCulley

2009-08-20 - This 2-CD collection is awesome and impressive.

awesome tunes by Fleetwood Mac
2009-06-12 - The Very Best Of Fleetwood Mac has two CDs with so much of their best music for us to enjoy over and over again! Fleetwood Mac always sounded good despite what phase of their development they were in; and they enjoyed a large following that still loves their music to this day. The sound quality on these two CDs is excellent and I like that artwork. We also get a pretty good book of liner notes about the songs and more.
The first CD starts with "Monday Morning;" this tune has Fleetwood Mac squarely in the spotlight--right where they belonged and still belong! They sing and play this well; and you never have to struggle to understand the words that they sing. "Dreams" features some great singing primarily by Stevie Nicks; she does this with panache and that's awesome. In addition, "You Make Loving Fun" was a big, big hit for Fleetwood Mac; this got a lot of radio airplay when it was first released and it still sounds every bit as good in our times. The guitars work well and the percussion enhances the music, too. "Go Your Own Way" also hit the airwaves big time; and just one listen will tell you why! This is one terrific number and again they really rock! "Rhiannon" is classic Fleetwood Mac; and I really like "Say You Love Me." "Say You Love Me" has great percussion and they do this one up right!
"Over My Head" has a somewhat smoother flavor to it after all that rocking; it really is another stand-out of this two CD set. I really like "Never Going Back Again;" with that intricate, sensitive guitar work--wow! "Landslide" gets another relatively mellow treatment as a woman sings of a love relationship that may or may not stay the same; and "Songbird" is pure haven--what a great piano arrangement they wrote for "Songbird!" We also get treated to a live track of "Big Love."
The second CD continues the unforgettable music. "The Chain" is a number I could never tire of hearing; Fleetwood Mac does this to perfection--and beyond! "The Chain" is faultless--this is all THAT good. For another stunner, listen for "Don't Stop;" this was one of their best ever and I can see why it's included here! "What Makes You Think You're The One" really rocks; and "Gypsy" contains all the power of every rockin' tune they ever did. "Second Hand News" has quite a strong beat to it mixed with some mighty brilliant lyrics; and there's a big hit with "Little Lies."
"Gold Dust Woman" is remarkably poignant when Fleetwood Mac performs it; and "Hold Me" is every bit as good as the other incredible tracks here. "World Turning" is a gemstone; and I love "Sisters Of The Moon." "Family Man" has a sound that is something of a departure from most of the other tracks on this two CD set; but it still holds its own very well. "The Skies The Limit" follows in the same vein as "Family Man;" and the second CD concludes wonderfully with Fleetwood Mac performing "Paper Doll." This'll leave you wanting more!
Fleetwood Mac gave us so much to be grateful for; and these two CDs prove it. This is a must have for their fans; and even casual fans would do well to get this CD for their collections.
Love it!!
2009-04-14 - I just love this collection of songs - there's not a song to skip. The recordings are fantastic and captures their voices and music very well. You can't listen to these songs on the radio to really appreciate them, you must own this and hear it on cd.
The best of the best.
2009-04-08 - This HAS to be Fleetwood Mac's best compiled collection EVER!! I can't name a hit that's not there.
