Not to be confused with the eponymous album of the same name that was the launchpad for the band. Fleetwood Mac (sometimes referred to as The White Album), juxtaposing it's inconsiderate title, was probably just as revered for it's overabundance of universal acclaim as much as its misleading title would've caused accidental sales of their debut album.

One thing that the original album didn't have though were the musical stylings of the influential line-up that even non-fans of the band have become accustom to, featuring the debuts of the talented yet troublesome Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham. Marking a significant turn in the bands direction and one that would go on to define their legacy, rooting them into the echelon of pop music royalty, before solidifying them as part of pop culture indefinitely.

The sudden departure of Bob Welch before pre-production began looked like a problematic symptom of creative burnout, but when Stevie Nicks began penning songs such as the now apocryphal "Rhiannon" to the tear-jerking "Landslide" with Buckingham all the while proving his prowess on mainstays such as "Monday Morning" and "I'm So Afraid". Fans were left not only to rejoice, but celebrate as their worst speculative fears were put to rest, leading to the cultivation of a beginning to bigger and broader horizons.
