Don't know. It's not by any means groundbreaking or anything, but it's still a very good album. Perhaps it sounds a bit too streamlined and commercial, but the songs are very well crafted, and most importantly, it's a very accomplished album. Personal favourites: "Dreams", "The Chain", "You Make Loving Fun" and "Gold Dust Woman".

I like Joe Jackson's version of "Oh Well". Beyond that, FM are a pass for me. All of their music is overrated to my ears.

Okay, okay, garbage might be a bit too extreme but 'Second Hand News', 'Never Going Back Again', 'Oh Daddy', 'Gold Dust Woman' are so edgeless and make me roll my eyes. This said, 'The Chain' and 'Dreams' are killer tracks.

I don't know of any songs that are "garbage" on the superb Rumours album, but you're welcome to Go Your Own Way.

I would not call it overrated. Like it or not, it's a rock solid album.

I don't think it's overrated. It's a great album.
I think the issue is that there are many other great albums that don't get anywhere near the same amount of attention in the "lamestream media" (sorry, couldn't resist). You only have to look at PA's top 100 to work out what I'm talking about |

Not sure if this is the correct percentage ![]() It is a strong pop rock album, some amazing songs, and some which are garbage.

It's strange, his songs on that album usually get sl*g.ed off but I love them. My version of Tusk would be his songs with most of the Stevie Nicks ones.

What's polarizing about it? I think 99% of people agree its a classic album with relatively strong pop rock songs front to back.

Not at all, but the follow-up album "Tusk" is overrated. It's a double album which should have been a single album, if you discount all of the raw songs recorded in Lindsey Buckingham's garage.

I don't know if "overrated" is the right word here, but it's overhyped still, it sold well and it's a famous album, if not one the most famous ones, several songs from it are still played everywhere.
edit: it's overrated...

Praised by critics and fans alike, this album is, in my humble opinion, overrated and quite polarizing. What do other forum users think of this 1977 'masterpiece'?
