Artist: Fleetwood Mac Source: Go Your Own Way (Single, 1976) / Rumours (Album, 1977) Genre: Soft Rock The turbulent relationship of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham was the catalyst for developing the sound and lyrics that would eventually become the hit single ‘Go Your Own Way’. The song details their conflict and eventual breakup. ‘Go Your Own Way’ went on to become one of Fleetwood Mac’s most recognisable songs and became their first top 10 hit in the US. Its popularity led to it being covered by multiple artists, including Irish altrockers The Cranberries. Fleetwood Mac formed in London in 1967. Primarily a blues group to begin with, they got their first UK number one in 1968 with the atmospheric ‘Albatross’. The band’s sound changed greatly with the addition of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham in the mid ‘70s, who helped steer the band more towards a pop rock approach. Soon after, they went on to have multiple charting hits in the US. Released in 1977, the iconic Rumours became their most successful work to date and became one of the best-selling albums of all time, with sales of over 40 million worldwide to date. As recognition for their outstanding contribution to music, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
