10 Pop Albums That Are Perfect From Front To Back

10. Rumors - Fleetwood Mac

By the time Fleetwood Mac had reached the '70s, they had come a long way from their bluesy routes. Originally formed as an answer to the British Invasion, the band had gone through a number of shakeups before acquiring Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks on their self-titled release. Though the next few years with this lineup would be tumultuous, it did end up giving us one of the catchiest records on the planet.

All throughout the recording of Rumors, Buckingham and Nicks were in the midst of an ugly breakup, which was laced throughout each of their respective songs. On the other side of the spectrum, John and Christine McVie were also going through a public divorce, spilling over into Christine's songs. Instead of coming off like bitter odes to shattered love, these songs take all of the angst and turn it into amazing singalongs like "Dreams" and "Don't Stop." The message behind something like "Go Your Own Way" is incredibly salty, but just try to get through the entire tune without bobbing your head.

Even less commercial songs like "The Chain" show the band operating at full capacity, as they try to squeeze every last bit of emotion out of their instruments. This album was not pleasant to make by any stretch, but it almost feels worth it if it means getting tunes that are this timeless.
