to be pissed off that over 27 years no one has told me...

...to listen to Stevie Nicks?! I've just 'discovered' her and I'm in love already. How have I gone this long not knowing she exists?

What songs/albums should I be listening to?

Enjoyed her appearance in American Horror Story as a white witch.

Another Dixie Chicks fan here.

This is why we do music education with the small human. I even do it a bit with the husband because he wasn't raised properly like me. No Floyd in his house, his mum was a Cliff fan!

Fleetwood mac is the only music I can put on on the car without complaint from my kids ages 5 to 17!

Love Fleetwood Mac.

Here are my top ones to listen to:

Steeleye Span - especially Blacksmith and Long Lankin.

Judie Tzuke - especially The Cat is Out album.

Tracie Young - I Love You When You Sleep

The Roches - The Hammond Song

Elkie Brooks anyone? Don't Cry Out Loud, Pearls A Singer, Lilac Wine... My Mum had her album Pearls was on repeat in our house in the 80s. I'm going to download it now

Another Stevie fan here.
One of my happiest memories of being a new mum is when my daughter was around 8 months old I bought her a little tambourine. I would give her lunch in the high chair and then afterwards give her the tambourine, I would put on FM or Stevie and she would bash and shake and bang whilst shrieking and giggling with joy while I sang and danced around clearing up the lunch things. Happy days!
She is preteen now and loves Kate Bush, we often have a silly twenty minutes being Kate and miming 'Running up the hill' and pretending we're in the video for Wuthering heights, mad fun, (doesn't impress her friends much tbh if we are 'Kate' when they're around)

The VH1 on Fleetwood Mac is well worth a watch. It shows what a total wreck they were behind the scenes when they were recording and makes it even more remarkable that they managed to all survive and still work together today.

Another one agreeing that some of the live versions of Silver Springs are utterly haunting. DH reckons Lindsey Buckingham's deeply dodgy plastic surgery was done in attempt to go into hiding from Stevie!

Yes RocknRollNerd. That VH1 special is the most flabbergasting show ever. Rumours ought to have been a shambles (drugs, more drugs, infidelity, more drugs, more heartbreak). Instead it's perfect.

I think FM are a bit hit and miss. There are some great songs there but there is an awful lot that is just generic and pedestrian.
Go your own way is an absolute classic as is The Chain but many others are ok at best for my taste.

The merits ofFleetwood Mac are a regular cause of marital strife in chez Dylan. I claim cocaine bloated middle of the road pap with a side order of soap opera. You should be thankful you managed to go 27 years without having them inflicted on you.

Oh I LOVE Fleetwood Mac. I discovered them when I was about 15 and listened to their greatest hits pretty much on repeat for months. I even got many of my friends into them! Some truly amazing songs that still sound fresh today. I adore Stevie Nicks and Edge of Seventeen is just the most fantastic song. One of my all time favourites. If I was on Stars In Their Eyes (the original Matthew Kelly one, not the abysmal relaunched version!) I'd want to be Stevie.

I grew up listening to the Beach Boys and I know that a lot of people assume that they're cheesy but they have some wonderful songs with beautiful harmonies. I agree with other suggestions already mentioned - Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music, Wings, even the Dixie Chicks' 'Wide Open Spaces' is a thing of beauty!

I adore Stevie Nicks. Also, Crowded House. Have you done that one yet? Woodhouse is phenomenal.

Alison Krauss. Ethereal voice.

I grew up listening to the Beach Boys and I know that a lot of people assume that they're cheesy but they have some wonderful songs with beautiful harmonies.

A lot of people are idiots who probably only know Surfin' USA and California Girls. Which would be like judging the Beatles solely on the basis of Ob La Di Ob La Da and Yellow Submarine.

Love the beach Boys, Wendy is a great song but also Do it again

Alongside the obvious tracks:

The Warmth of the Sun,
Don't worry baby,
Break Away,
Feel Flows,
Til I Die,
Darlin'
This Whole World
Let him Run Wild,
Time to Get Alone
Please Let Me Wonder,
Surf's Up
Caroline, No
Wonderful

Are all utterly amazing.
