131 Songs - Number 30

Number 30 - Wish You Were Here by Fleetwood Mac


I was a latecomer to Fleetwood Mac, in fact I cannot remember listening to "Rumours" until the mid 1980's. But once I heard it, I was as captivated as those who choose it as the best album of all time. And so I ended up with most of their back catalogue. I could easily have chosen Peter Green's "Man of the World" from their early recordings, but my favourite member of the group was always Christine McVie. And I have to get past any number of albums from the 1970's until we reach "Mirage" from 1982. The last track features this wonderful Christine composition.
