In reply to the discussion: Name a better album than Fleetwood Mac's Rumours [View all]malthaussen
(17,175 posts)58. Points of personal preference.
I can think of four I prefer immediately, just in the pop/rock/etc genre:
Beatles, Sergeant Pepper's (or just about any of their LPs, but I am a Beatlemaniac)
Beach Boys, Pet Sounds
Carole King, Tapestry
Joni Mitchell, Court and Spark
I'm sure I could think of more if you held a gun to my head. Surrealistic Pillow, maybe.
It's an album that came out in a period in which there was a great embarrassment of riches. Better than 99% of what has come out since, but there are a lot of albums that can make that statement.

It's a great album, but I can come up with dozens and dozens that are better

I would certainly agree with almost every item on that list and could add many more.

Most people don't realize this group set the stage for Kiss, The Cure, and Siouxsie and the Banshees
