Throwback Thursdays #16: Fleetwood Mac – Rumours

This week, we’re switching up Throwback Thursdays just a little bit. We’re traveling back in time to 1976, which is very likely the oldest piece of music to have featured on the blog so far. Likewise, change from the norm comes from that fact that we’re moving into the dreaded realm of… DUN DUN DUNNNNN… guitar based music. While we tend to eschew all that nasty acoustic business in favour of all sorts of assorted electronic blips and beats here at Structure Vs Agency, we’re not going to deny  music with clear pedigree. Who are we to deny one of the most critically lauded albums ever.

Considering how much love ‘Rumours’ has gotten over the years, at this point it seems a bit big headed to assume that this little blog could add anything valuable to the discourse surrounding the album, either positive or negative. And that either says something interesting about the way that cultural artifacts get canonised and mythicised, or it says that ‘Rumours’ is indeed objectively perfect. Either way, we’re not gonna say much more.

Structure Vs Agency choice picks: ‘Go Your Own Way’, ‘ Dreams’, ‘Never Going Back Again’ and ‘I Don’t Want To Know’
