Segue Myles Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Is this the album that Geddy thought was crazy to spend $1,000,000 producing? Or the next FM album? I'm not sure, but the next one (Tusk) was a double album and the one where they insisted on having the entire University of Southern California marching band play with them on some of the songs so I would guess it was that one. I think the costs added up on that one! :PI think you are right because Rumors came out a few years earlier than the interview I am referring to. It must have been Tusk. A million dollars well spent.Doesn't sound like much today, but back then when you could buy a brand new car for $6,000, it was a lot of money. They had sold a lot of albums by that point. They were wealthy. It was their art. They used it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleMoon Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Back in the day when this album came out everyone I knew had it. I probably would've rated it a five then, but I've become so burned out on the songs over the years it's hard to rate it over a four now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutlefan Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 5. I'm not fond of Oh Daddy but I'll be objective about it. If they thought it was more worthy than Silver Spring than who am I to argue. I work just up the road from Silver Spring MD btw... the inspiration for the titlle. Apart from Oh Daddy it's an amazing run of songs. Go Your Own Way is on my short list for favorite song, and Dreams is just incredible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Not a fan .. props for its success, but it is dull as dishwater I find dishwater very invigorating - water hot as you can stand, mountains of slippery, soapy suds, and the mystery of what dish you'll find next - even a bit of danger, because you could cut yourself on a knife and not even know it. What was this thread about again? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILSnwdog Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I give it 3 stars. It's just been played to death. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddysMullet Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I'm kind of neutral on this band, don't hate them, don't love them.That's how I feel about them too.The chick was hot though so that meant I gave them more attention than if it was just another bunch of dudes. I loved Stevie Nicks' songs too. She's a talented woman. i am fascinated by nicks myself. her albums/songs run from fabulous to complete and utter WTF messes. but one thing is certain either way she holds my attention, lol Mick But that's what I love about her. She can be a goddess one minute, and another she is the drunk girl in the corner who you just know is hot but right now looks like a crying clown. oh me too. i love hearing her talk cause i swear she's created her own reality, lol. she's so nutsy coo coo, lol Mick One of the funniest things I ever read was Courtney Love interviewing Stevie Nicks, because Courtney made Stevie sound sane.

Lorraine Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) I give it 3 stars. It's just been played to death. That's an understatement. The only two songs I can listen to anymore are The Chain and Gold Dust Woman. Edited May 10, 2017 by Lorraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymaker Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 That other album, the one with the white cover, is sort of a companion album, I guess. It's got some cool tunes - World Turning, Rhiannon, Blue Letter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick He gave it 3 stars due to it being played to death. If he played it to death it should be 5 stars. One should not rate albums based on their viewpoint at this point in time, but on how they viewed the album over their entire lifetime. Example: I have played Zeppelin IV to death and haven't listened to it all the way through in years. But i give it 5 stars.

Lorraine Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 (edited) I changed my vote to a four. It's better than a three which was my original vote. Listened to the album yesterday. Some good music on it. Edited October 6, 2017 by Lorraine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But...odd as it sounds...it would still be better with Silver Springs. A song in my opinion greater than Landslide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the best songs Stevie ever wrote. if not THE best the Dance version is the best. Mick Edited October 7, 2017 by bluefox4000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The K Man Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Silver Springs is definitely one of the best songs Nicks ever wrote, and I agree that the live version from The Dance is the best. I give Rumours 4/5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
