Fleetwood Mac - Greatest Hits (1988)

I don't know why I bought this CD when I could tune into the local classic rock radio station and hear almost every track. Still, Lindsey Buckingham is a heckuva songwriter and a vastly underrated guitarist and there's something about Stevie Nicks' raspy voice that makes for interesting and nostalgic listens. The older I get, the better they were.

*Billboard magazine started a Rock chart on March 21, 1981

The compilation is missing the following top 40 tracks from the 1975-1988 time period: Think About Me (#20, 1980), Love In Store (#22, 1982), and Seven Wonders (#19, 1987).

The tracks from the group's 1975 self-titled album and 1977's Rumours are fun (especially Dreams), plus I like Hold Me and Sara. I remember liking the unusual song Tusk when it was released in '79, but now I'm inclined to hit the skip button when it comes on.
