Editorial Review:
Spanning 22 years, this double-disc, 36-track compilation chronicles the initially unlikely and ultimately triumphant conflation of a failing, veteran English neo-blues band (Mick Fleetwood and the McVies) with a pair of mercurial American also-rans (the baroque folk-rock genius Lindsey Buckingham and crypto-songbird Stevie Nicks). The creative alchemy was immediate, as 15 epochal tracks ("Dreams," "Say You Love Me," "The Chain," "Don't Stop") from Fleetwood Mac and Rumours here attest. They could have arguably repeated that mega-successful formula for a decade, but chose a more musically expansive tack, represented "Sara," Think About Me" and the other core tracks drawn from the ambitious Tusk. While the band's megahit luster faded as the solo careers of Buckingham and Nicks took flight in the '80s, their power was still apparent in the dusky-bright pop of Christine McVie's "Hold Me" and "Little Lies." Sequenced with compelling listening rather than chronology in mind, this set also includes the strongest of the Mac's latter-day recordings (Nicks's "Paper Doll," "Silver Springs," and "No Questions Asked"; McVie's "As Long As You Follow"), as well the Lindsey Buckingham showcases "Go Insane" and "Big Love" from '97's The Dance. --Jerry McCulley

Rating:  - a lack of Mac
This is the next door neighbor complilation of Fleetwood Mac. You borrowed it to play, maybe cassette tape your favorite songs. otherwise you would have bought the essential LPs from which these songs were culled.
Nothin' sweeps across the mid/late '70's like "Don't Stop", "You Make Lovin' Fun", "Dreams", "Go Your Own Way".
This is a wrong-headed swirl of cuts/hits from "Fleetwood Mac" (1975) "Rumours" (1977) "Tusk" (1979) and various so-called rarities. There is no historically ... Read More

Rating:  - Big Mac Attack
When Fleetwood mac took a longshot chance on an obscure Los Angeles duo named Buckingham/Nicks, even they probably had no clue just how greatly their fortunes would turn. But the creative chemistry was almost immediate: the Fleetwood Mac album made huge inroads in the US and "Rhiannon" became the greeting card that marked the arrival of Stevie Nicks.
That is where this double CD Best Of picks up the story. For all you whiny purists who grouse that the pre-Buckingham/Nicks material is not here, this ... Read More
Rating: - THE VERY BEST AND TIMELESS
Wow, listening to these songs never gets old. They are in many ways musical masterpieces deep with meaning, provocative, and deliver outstanding rock still over thirty years.
This is a great CD to bring to the beach - it's good and long, there are a LOT of [excellent] songs. Actually they are ALL excellent.
Stevie Nicks (one of my favorite female singers) still delivers her one-of-a-kind voice that is as unique and special as she is. If you want a real treat, check out her site at nicksfix.com ... Read More
