By JT Stevens


Vinyls have experienced a resurgence of popularity to modern audiophiles in recent history. A lot of vinyl record playing machines have been developed in recent years, that combine classic looks, with modern high-tech features, like the Crosley Portable Record Player. These devices allow people who have classic records, like Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours", to enjoy them even today.

The band Fleetwood Mac is regarded as one of the most popular an influential bands in the history of modern music. American and British musicians Peter Green, Mick Fleetwood, and John McVie founded Fleetwood Mac in 1967. In its early years, Fleetwood Mac found much success and popularity, however, when Peter Green departed from the band, it seemed like the success would be short lived.

Both critics and fans of the band had little hope that Fleetwood Mac would survive. But the band proved to be strong, and Fleetwood, McVie, the remaining band members, and new member Stevie Nicks overcame the odds. They used the troubles they encountered as material to produce their very popular "Rumours" album, considered as one of the most successful records in history.

Fans love "Rumours" because the album is considered a triumph against disaster. And both fans and critics love that Fleetwood Mac used their troubles and issues as inspiration and fuel for the creative fire. This creative fire produced a number of popular songs that are still being listened to to this day.

Some of the songs from this album that really made an impact were "Second Hand News", "Go Your Own Way", and "Dreams", all of which attained great heights of popularity. It is these songs, and the rest of the ones in the album, that made "Rumours" and Fleetwood Mac the household names they are today. The album is so good, and the band so influential, that even today's younger generation can appreciate their work.

Today, people can get copies of the songs from the "Rumours" album in digital MP3 format, which can be listened to using modern music players. This means that everyone, even swimmers and divers can listen to "Rumours" using their waterproof MP3 devices! It is truly an album that can stand the test of time.
