10 Greatest Ever Fleetwood Mac Songs

10. Go Your Own Way

Released as the opening single to the acclaimed album "Rumours" in December 1976, "Go Your Own Way" was written by Lindsey Buckingham during the band's stay in Florida and perfectly encapsulates the torn relationship between the band's then-frontman and Stevie Nicks.

The song originally began life as more of a bluesy-sounding hit than what audiences are used to with the final result, with bassist John McVie employing a busier part before being told to rein it in by Buckingham. Go Your Own Way also features Hammond B3 organ dubs, layered backing vocals from Nicks and Christine McVie, as well as an assortment of percussion instruments such as maracas and cymbals.

However, the song's timeless legacy has undoubtedly been built off of the lyrics supplied by Buckingham, with the resentment and ultimate acceptance that his relationship with Nicks had come to an end coming across in a beautifully melancholic way throughout the track.

One of Mick Fleetwood's personal favourite songs, Go Your Own Way became the biggest pre-selling title in Warner Bros' entire history, as well as one of the band's best sleeper hits, having only initially entered the UK charts at 38 upon release.
