Hear Me Out: Fleetwood Mac’s ‘White Album’ is better than ‘Rumours’Growing up, I was always told that rumours were best ignored by the very same mother who would play Rumours repeatedly in the kitchen. It was during a deeper dive into the Fleetwood Mac discography that I realised it was the latter. (Credits: Far Out / Fleetwood Mac)Their 1975 self-titled album, internally known as The White Album, was the first to showcase their mercurial new duo, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. But within that, melody came absolutely first and on The White Album, it was as good as it ever sounded. Where Rumours forced her gaze inward, The White Album allowed it to purvey something much wider, and in that, what is perhaps her greatest ever track, ‘Landslide’ was born.
